Ductless air conditioners really are becoming more popular in our area. While that’s generally good news, since we love these systems and the fact that they’re perfect for many homeowners, they aren’t without their own set of problems. Just like any other air conditioning system, problems can be mitigated, but it’s becoming increasingly important for homeowners to be vigilant and up-to-date on all the knowledge about their home comfort systems.
So, today we’re focusing on a lesser-known part of the ductless air conditioning system, the condensate drain. All air conditioners have this component, but what makes the ductless system different is that the condensate drain can run behind the drywall, running from the wall-mounted air handlers to a condensate pan. As the air is cooled, moisture condenses from the air and must be deposited through a drain system. When these drains clog, you’ll find yourself flooded with problems and will be calling our team for help with your air conditioning in Lake City, FL.
Don’t worry, keep reading and we’ll get into detail about what’s required to fix this type of problem.
Refrigerant is an absolutely necessary component of the cooling process. Your air conditioner doesn’t function like a box fan, it requires much more electricity to circulate refrigerant, pressurize it, move heat, and blow cool air into your home. While it might sound like an energy-intensive process, for the cooling produced, these systems are increasingly more energy efficient each year.

Homeowners are always curious about what could be going wrong with their air conditioner, but they usually don’t have the kind of information that we do.

An air conditioner that smells bad is likely to do more harm than good at this point. If the system is responsible for depositing cool air into your home, that cool air should smell fresh or at least odorless when you breathe it in. Any foul odors should be investigated and dealt with—full stop!

This means homeowners are focused on running their air conditioners well this spring, and hopefully we can help!
