3. Temperature Adjustment: Adjust the desired temperature setting on your thermostat. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your air conditioning unit. It is recommended to have a professional HVAC technician perform annual inspections and tune-ups.
