A slight plastic smell may be detectable the first week of operation. This is normal and will dissipate after running a short time.
•
There may be a slight increase in the homeowner’s energy bill even when TrueSTEAM™ is sized and operating correctly. Set the expectation that comfort costs money to avoid callbacks.
