Like a lot of homes in this region, our Heating, Ventilation & A/C air handler is located inside the garage.
The two of us live in a area of the country where the heat pump is pretty much the only choice for central air conditioning.
That’s because we deal with heat more than anything else. And by a entirely big measure. The heat pump just hardly has any work to do while I was in the winter. the heat pump does all its work from March through about the first few weeks of September when it comes to Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling. However, it is the 4 months of summer time that are the times when heat pump is running practically morning as well as evening. That’s a lot of Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling, yet there is no way to manage those 4 months of high heat as well as humidity separate from the aid of central air conditioning. And when the cooling system is running that much, there are things to pay attention to. In certain, it’s important to pay attention to the Heating, Ventilation & A/C condensate level, however condensate is liquid moisture produced by the process of Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling. It is a perfectly natural result of air conditioning. However, a homeowner is wise to keep an eye on the condensate levels. The Heating, Ventilation & A/C device has a condensate drain line that runs to the exterior of most homes. And that’s what normally drains the condensate. It works just as designed as well as there is no problem most of the time. However, that condensate line to get backed up or clogged which does not allow the condensate to drain as well as can end up overflowing the drain pan under the Heating, Ventilation & A/C air handler. During our Springtime house prep for the upcoming summer time heat, I take a shopvac as well as pull out all the debris from the condensate drain line outside. It’s just a fantastic system to keep an eye on this small however important central air conditioning detail.
