Air Authority, A Riteway Service Company provides reliable HVAC drain line cleaning in San Antonio, TX, to keep your system running smoothly. An HVAC’s cooling system drain line can clog over time. This can cause your system to turn off, cause a leak in your home, or damage other parts of your HVAC.
This happens when a condensate drainage system fails. Condensation is a natural byproduct of the evaporation that air conditioners perform. The drainage system ensures that the moisture flows out of your home and doesn’t cause problems.
"They are very Reliable and punctual. All of the Service Techs and helpers are very professional and know what they are doing. Over and above customer service."
We encourage you to schedule an AC tune-up early in the spring before running your air. That maintenance service will include cleaning your HVAC drain line, sometimes with a specialized AC drain line cleaner.
The typical condensate drainage system has a drain pan, wet switch, and drain line. Condensation drips into the pan, and the wet switch detects the water level. In a well-functioning system, water flows from the pan into the drain line and out of the home.
The wet switch is why a clogged drain line can cause your AC to turn off. If the water isn’t draining correctly, it will build up in the pan. The switch will detect and trip the system if it gets too high. This will avoid a flood, but turns off your AC.
Typically, water damage happens when you have a bad wet switch. It’s another reason a seasonal tune-up is so important. Bad switches are relatively easy to spot and replace.
Is HVAC drain line cleaning necessary for heating? The answer depends. If you have a heat pump, which is essentially an AC that can run in reverse, the answer is yes. Traditional furnaces don’t require drainage, but high-efficiency condensing furnaces do.
One of our technicians will clean the drain line during your seasonal tune-up, but AC clogs can still occur during summer. If you’d like to avoid scheduling additional services, consider iFLO. It’s a patented device we’ll integrate into your AC drain line. It routinely and automatically releases a drain line cleaning solution that prevents particles from accumulating. Each season, we’ll refill that solution. There’s also the iFLO Pro, which is a smart version that you can control from your phone.
