If your electrical panel is full, your circuit breakers constantly trip, and/or your fuses blow constantly, then you are not using the electricity in your home effectively or safely.

The refrigerant in your air conditioning system acts as the heat transfer fluid for that system. It expands and absorbs heat from the air in your home during the summer season, and it is then cycled outside to your outdoor unit. There, it condenses, and the heat in the refrigerant is vented to the air outside.

Most Florida residents don’t think about the inner workings of their air conditioner until they have a problem. Hot weather is right around the corner and a properly working AC is essential to your comfort. There are a number of issues that could affect your air conditioner, especially if you have not scheduled an AC maintenance appointment in the last year. One of these problems is a dirty condensate drain. ### Why Is This a Problem? Your air conditioner removes moisture from the air. As it does this, the moisture collects as condensation on the evaporator coil, and then drips into the condensation pan. This liquid travels through the condensate drainpipe to outside the home, where it’s discharged. In most cases, moisture is not the only thing passing through the condensate drain line. Dust particles and bacteria can also build up, causing the condensate line to clog. If the drain line is clogged, then condensate can back up and overflow the drain pan.
