UNIT MAINTENANCE
The following are some suggestions and information on maintaining your unit. Have your heater and air conditioning units cleaned and inspected annually. If the air conditioner drain line becomes plugged from lack of cleaning, it will automatically shut off the air conditioner. Change your air filters monthly. Check the hoses to your washing machine regularly and replace them as
needed. Turn off the water to the washer when not in use. Dryer vents are cleaned periodically from the outside by the association. Check your hurricane shutters periodically to be sure they are in good condition. A list of original
contractors for your unit are located on the inside cover of the electrical panel.
Touch-up paint can be obtained from Sherwin Williams (they purchased the original paint contractor, Color Wheel). Inside one of the bedroom closets is the GE Smart Control Panel which contains the phone and cable connections. Hot water tanks in most units are reaching the age where they will need replacement. You might want to consider budgeting for this if yours is original.
Main water shut off valves are located by the hot water tank or in the garage.
CLOSING YOUR UNIT AND HURRICANE PREPARATIONS
The following is a check list for closing your unit for an extended period or hurricane evacuation if needed. NOTE: Be sure that there is someone checking your unit on a regular basis, a home watch person is strongly recommended. If your unit is rented, please be sure your tenant and/or guests are aware of the proper procedure for closing and opening your unit.
1. Shut off the main water valve by the hot water tank or in the garage.
2. Turn off your ice maker.
