Out of Town?: Going out of town for days or weeks? Save water leaks inside the building and inside your unit. Shut off your water to your unit. Don’t know where your water shut off valve is? Ask Management to have the engineer show you. This can help cut down on water issues in the building and your unit…. And insurance claims.

Directions to Reset the Heat Pump After Power Outage: There are two (2) ways: the first way is to turn off the system at the thermostat. Then go to the heat pump circuit breaker, flip it off, wait 30 seconds, flip it back on. Turn the thermostat back on. If that fails, the second method is flip heat pump circuit breaker off at the panel. Open the HVAC closet - there should be a small metal box on the wall by the HVAC system. Open it. Pull out the red handle. Wait 30 seconds and reinsert. Turn the circuit breaker back on at the panel.
Plumbing System: Preventative maintenance is a great way to ensure your system is running efficiently, which can decrease your energy costs! Don’t forget to make sure that when you go out of town to shut off the water to your toilets, sinks, and appliances.
