Understanding Condensate Line Freezing in HVAC Systems

One typical issue that can arise in HVAC systems involves the freezing of condensate lines. Water forms when warm, humid air from inside a building passes over cooled surfaces within the HVAC system. This water vapor accumulates in a drain pan and is then discharged through a condensate line. However, if this line becomes freezing temperatures, the

Understanding Condensate Line Freezing in HVAC Systems

One common issue that can arise in HVAC systems involves the freezing of condensate lines. Condensate forms when warm, humid air from inside a building passes over temperature-regulated surfaces within the HVAC system. This water vapor accumulates in a drain pan and is then expelled through a condensate line. However, if this line becomes freezing

Ice-Clogged AC Line How to Proceed

A frozen AC line can be a real bummer on a hot day. Luckily, there are steps you can take to defrost it and get your cooling system working again. First, deactivate the air conditioner at the thermostat. This will prevent additional freezing. Next, locate the frozen line. It's often a part of the cooling coil. You might need to pull away some of th
