After Installation

• Educate the homeowner on what to expect next.
• It may take up to a week of continuous operation
  to achieve the humidity control set point.
• 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 homeowners
  energy bill even when TrueSTEAM is sized and
  operating correctly. Set the expectation that
  comfort costs money to avoid callbacks.
