Is Your AC’s Condensate Drain Clogged?

Monday, December 14th, 2020

Air conditioners deal with moisture in the air as well as the heat. Think about it, the more humid the air is in your home, the easier it is for heat to get stuck and make you uncomfortable. As your air conditioner draws in air and cools it, it condenses the moisture from the air making your home feel dryer and cooler. However, where does that moisture go?

Problems from a Clogged Condensate Drain

Monday, October 21st, 2019

One of the most important functions of your air conditioner is the removal of moisture from the atmosphere. That muggy feeling causing your clothes to become sticky and covered in sweat quickly disappears when your AC is functioning correctly.

Part of this moisture removal function is draining condensate water that has been taken out of the air. This is where your condensate drain comes in, The water that gets drawn out from the air through condensation turns from gas to liquid, which then drips down into the condensation pan. The water that gets collected in the condensation pan must then be deposited through a drain and away from your home.

In good working order, your condensate drain is a nice drink for your outdoor plants and grass. When clogged though, your condensate drain can cause a multitude of problems in your house, some of which can eventually lead to expensive air conditioning repair in Winter Park, FL. Keep reading to get the full scoop!
