Clogged AC Drain Line Repair in Tavares, FL

Your air conditioner pulls gallons of water out of Florida air every day, and all of it has to leave through a small condensate drain line. When algae and sludge clog that line, water backs up into the pan, overflows onto ceilings and floors, or trips the safety switch and shuts the AC off.

Lucas Air Conditioning and Heating clears clogged drain lines and fixes condensate leaks for homes and businesses across Tavares and Lake County.

• Water around the indoor unit or air handler
• A full or overflowing drain pan
• Water stains on the ceiling under an attic unit
• The AC shuts off and won't restart (a tripped float switch)
• A musty smell near the air handler or vents

Heat and humidity make Lake County ideal for algae growth inside condensate lines, and the dust that gets past a dirty filter feeds it. Drain line blockages are among the most common calls we get in summer, and they get worse when a line hasn't been flushed in a year or more.

We clear the line from end to end, flush and clean the drain pan, check the trap and slope, and test the float (safety) switch so it shuts the system off before water overflows. If the pan is rusted through or the line is cracked, we repair or replace it. Then we confirm the system restarts and drains properly.

• Clearing and flushing the condensate drain line
• Cleaning and checking the drain pan
• Testing or installing a float (safety) switch
• Repairing cracked lines and leaking pans

A yearly tune-up includes inspecting and cleaning the drain line, and changing filters on schedule keeps debris out of it. Our Preventative Maintenance Agreement covers the yearly tune-up for $129 a year.
