Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips

Ceiling damage prevention

A float switch installed in the secondary drain pan - in conjunction with a periodic inspection of the secondary drain line outlet at the eave of the house - is the best way to prevent ceiling damage from air conditioning condensate overflow.

The likelihood of ceiling damage increases greatly if your A/C system is not equipped with an overflow switch. Periodic inspections of the secondary drain pipe outlet, located on one side of the house near the overhang, is a good way to check for water overflow to prevent ceiling damage.

In the event that both primary and secondary drain pipe outlet are located at the overhang, they should be identified as primary and secondary. All condensate should flow only through the primary line. If the primary line is clogged, then the condensate will flow through the secondary line. At this point, the best course of action is to turn the unit off and call for service.
