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 homeowner’s energy bill even when TrueSTEAM™ is sized and operating correctly. Set the expectation that comfort costs money to avoid callbacks.
