Same tips in your pocket

The HVACopedia app has these tips, every error code and the settings tables offline.

Open the app

For licensed technicians. Installer menus, test modes and access codes change settings that affect safety; only use them if you are trained on the appliance and understand the result. Gas, electrical and refrigerant work must be done by a qualified, licensed person, and the manufacturer’s manual for the exact model and local codes always take priority. HVACopedia is not affiliated with any manufacturer; brand and model names only identify the equipment.
