Bryant Hybrid Heat Systems combine the strengths of two heating sources to deliver both warmth and efficiency.

The best way to keep your systems running smoothly is to perform regular maintence. However, not all maintenance must be done by professionals. Below are some helpful tips to follow that will help you keep your systems running for years to come.

Furnace Tips

Change 1" furnace filters monthly.
Change 4" high-efficient filters twice yearly (spring & fall).
Electronic air cleaner cells and pre-screen filters (found upstream of large cells) should be washed in laundry tub or dishwasher on a monthly basis. Be sure that filters are completely dry before returning to cartridge.
Start your furnace prior to the arrival of cold weather. If startup problems occur, call us at 715-832-6909.
A bi-annual clean- and tune-up will also assure continued efficiency and dependability.

Humidifier Tips

Replace humidifier pad prior to heating season. This is also a good time to service your air-to-air exchanger.

Air To Air Exchanger Tips

In the late summer/early fall, remove core from air exchanger. Wash in laundry tub, air dry completely and return to air exchanger. Wash or shake out small foam filters. These filters should be removed and cleaned two or three times during the operating season.
Do not wash Lossnay core. Simply vacuum the exposed faces of the core carefully with a soft brush attachment and wash the filters.
Wipe clean inside of unit seasonally.
VERY IMPORTANT: Check outside air intake screen for blockages and brush or vacuum away any matted debris.

Central Air Conditioner Tips

Test the operation of your unit prior to arrival of hot weather. Run only long enough to confirm startup. If the unit fails to start, check the position of the thermostat (should be in cooling mode). Check the position of breakers in your electrical panel. They must be in the on position. Check the fuse located in disconnect box. The disconnect box is located outside, by the A/C unit.
Be sure furnace filters are clean.
Keep outside condensor coil clean. When the unit is not running, take a garden hose and flush it clean, starting at the top of unit and washing down. VERY IMPORTANT: Go to the electrical panel and put A/C breaker in off position before washing down the unit.
