Possible Causes
Ambient temperature below optimal range, dirty evaporator coil, incorrect operating mode, undersized heater for demand
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before cleaning coils or filters.
- Verify the ambient temperature around the heater; if below the minimum specified by Atlantic, switch to boost/electric mode to supplement heating.
- Clean the air filter and evaporator coil fins with a soft brush or vacuum to restore airflow.
- Check the control panel mode; ensure it is not in ECO mode if higher output is needed.
- If demand has increased (more occupants), consider upgrading to a larger capacity Atlantic model or adding a second tank.
