Why Is It Important To Keep My Drip Pans Clean?

Daycool Heating & Air Podcast

In this episode, we talk with special guest, Brandon Day, from Daycool Heating and Air, about the importance of proper maintenance for your air conditioning (AC) system. He explains the crucial role that the drip pans found beneath your air conditioning units play, especially if the unit is installed in the attic, a common placement for many households.

Brandon highlights that the pan you see is not the main pan but a backup pan, and finding water in it indicates a potential problem. The purpose of the pan and the float switches connected to it is to prevent water back-up from damaging your home. Brandon affirms that proper maintenance of these pans is essential to prevent water leaks and significant damage.

We explore why it's critical to ensure the pan, the pipes, and the area around it remain clean and clear. Obstructions such as insulation, dirt, dust, and even misplaced household items can cause major problems if they find their way into the pan. Brandon shares the steps his team at Daycool take to maintain the pan and talks about the immediate and devastating potential for damage caused by blockages.

Brandon recommends having professionals like Daycool perform maintenance checks at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall, and shares some DIY maintenance tips for homeowners. He underlines the importance of ongoing maintenance to prevent failures and major breakdowns in the heat of summer.

The episode concludes by reminding listeners that Brandon's contact information is available in the podcast description for those seeking expert AC system maintenance services. Brandon expresses gratitude for the opportunity to share his knowledge on the Checker Pro Radio Show, helping listeners ensure the longevity and efficiency of their AC systems.
