The most common reasons for water in the air conditioner’s drain pan are a clogged drain pipe, a frozen evaporator coil, or a misaligned drain pan. A clogged drain pipe is the most common of these. Dust and dirt from the coils drip off in the water and can move down the drain line, causing a clog. A frozen evaporator coil is most likely to freeze when refrigerant levels are low…and this generally is a result of a refrigerant leak. A misaligned drain pan is sometimes the result of an improper system installation. Your AIR CURRENT INC technician can troubleshoot and address all of these issues.

While bleach is a good cleaner, it can quickly eat away at PVC or ABS plastic, as well as the glue and cement that keeps the fittings together. When your system is operating properly, condensation washes out bleach residue. Vinegar is better for preventative maintenance throughout the year and it keeps your drain clean and clear without damaging your line.

Proper air duct cleaning prevents mold and mildew growth from occurring due to moisture that’s present in the ductwork. Your system recirculates the air your family breathes, and that includes dust mites, allergens, and other contaminants. Regular system cleaning can remove many of these contaminants, and that’s especially helpful for individuals with asthma or other breathing conditions. It can also increase the efficiency of your system.

Like any machine, your HVAC system is composed of moving parts and over time, these parts can experience wear and tear. Regularly scheduled maintenance is the best way to ensure the integrity and efficiency of your system. AIR CURRENT INCS’ technicians check your systems’ critical components, identifying any problems that could lead to mechanical failure or reduced efficiency. This saves you money in possible repairs and increased operating costs.
