HOME TIP
Air filters are required to be changed monthly to maintain indoor air
quality, comfort, and airflow, and to prevent premature failure of heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment. To ensure proper operations of the HVAC system, Homeowners should avoid blocking air intake and discharge vents. Air filter maintenance is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
23.2 Heating System In cases where the heating system is not working properly, the Builder, for a period of two years, will take corrective action if the ASHRAE* standards (a published set of industry standards relating to airflow and other heating system issues) are not met. *With regard to 23.1 and 23.2, basic ASHRAE standards relate the house air temperature to the thermostat setting and the variation of interior setting to the exterior temperature. It is the Homeowner’s responsibility to balance the system as the seasons change. The heating and cooling system should meet the Performance Standards described below. The cooling system should maintain an interior temperature of 78 degrees or lower when outdoor temperatures do not exceed 95 degrees. When outdoor temperatures exceed 95 degrees, the cooling system should maintain an indoor temperature that is at least 15 degrees below the outdoor temperature. The heating system should be capable of producing an indoor temperature of 70 degrees. Temperature variations between rooms and between floors should not exceed 4 degrees. All temperatures should be measured from 5 feet above the floor in the center of any room.
