One frequent 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 colder surfaces within the HVAC system. This water vapor collects in a drain pan and is then expelled through a condensate line. However, if this line is exposed to freezing temperatur

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 temperature-regulated surfaces within the HVAC system. This condensation collects in a drain pan and is then discharged through a condensate line. However, if this line undergoes freezing te

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