Your Air Conditioner’s Condensation Drain Line is one of the most important elements of your unit. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most overlooked. Truth be told, there are too many drain lines in our city that are full of gunky, impenetrable algae and mold. And when your line can no longer drain, that’s when water starts to leak into your home.
How You Can Prevent Your Air Conditioner Drain Line from Clogging
So how is it that so many air conditioner drains go unattended? Truthfully, most people don’t know that clogged and leaky drains can be prevented with a simple and inexpensive yearly treatment. At Help!! we receive over 400 calls every year from customers experiencing water leaks and water backups, which is one of the reasons we felt the need to deliver a solution: Marine Grade Pan Pads!
What is an AC Pan Pad?
Every air conditioner has a condensate pan that fills with water that appears when your unit cools and collects moisture from the air. This “condensate” collects in the pan and is subsequently drained away to re-join the water cycle. However, without the proper treatment, bacteria can form in the pan, causing your drain to clog. A Pan Pad kills said bacteria, preventing potential clogs and nasty odors!
How Pan Pads Protect Your HVAC System
Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a plummet in leak repair calls due to the amount of people using these Pan Pads. Even better, Help!! can install a Marine Grade Pan Pad quickly and inexpensively during their next regular HVAC maintenance visit! In our experience, customers who use these no longer have to deal with inconvenient water leaks through their ceiling or floors. While this doesn’t guarantee you’ll never have a water leak again, it will greatly reduce your chances. Be sure to ask your technician about installing one during your next service call or maintenance visit!
