Proper AC Drainage Keeps Water Out

Your HVAC system is one of the most important components of home maintenance—especially during hot summer months when your air conditioner is working overtime. But to keep it running efficiently and to protect your home, it’s essential to make sure the A/C is draining properly.

Improper drainage can lead to water buildup, which may leak inside and damage walls, floors, or carpeting. To avoid this, check that the drain line is clear of debris and long enough to carry condensation completely outside the home—well away from walls and the unit itself.

A well-maintained drain line keeps moisture where it belongs: outside. With that taken care of, you can enjoy the comfort of cool air indoors, even as temperatures rise outdoors.
