Drain lines, filters and leaks are all check points that tells us how well your air conditioner is performing.
During the summer time in West Palm Beach it gets hot! Your air conditioner is getting a full workout on most days, and it must be running on all cylinders and have all breathing airways clear to run efficiently.
One of the many functions of the HVAC system is to remove moisture from the air in a house to provide a comfortable living environment.
The moisture collected must go somewhere, it does not simply disappear. As the HVAC system removes moisture from the air, it collects as condensation on the evaporator coil that then drips into the condensation pan. The liquid then travels through the condensate drain pipe to outside the home where it is dispelled on the lawn or soil area through a PVC pipe.
So why does the condensate line clog if only liquid is running through it?
Well, in most causes it is because not only liquid is passing through the condensate drain line. The condensation created by the system can be filled with dust particles as well as bacteria. This depends on how well the system is cared for and how often the filter is replaced.
