Air Therm | Expert HVAC Services in Savannah, GA

In our humid Savannah climate, the condensate drain line on your air conditioner can easily become clogged with algae and mold. This is one of the most common HVAC issues we see locally. A clog prevents the moisture your system removes from the air from draining properly, causing it to back up and leak. Air Therm's technicians can quickly clear the blockage, perform a flush to prevent recurrence, and ensure your system is draining correctly to avoid water damage.

This is often a sign of a faulty reversing valve, a key component that allows your heat pump to provide both cooling and heating. In Savannah, where we rely on heat pumps year-round, wear or electrical issues can cause this valve to stick or fail. Our experts at Air Therm can diagnose the reversing valve, determine if it needs repair or replacement, and get your system efficiently switching between modes to maintain comfort in every season.

Given our local conditions, two priorities are condensate drain line care and heat pump system checks. We recommend having your drain line cleaned and treated annually to prevent clogs and indoor leaks. For your heat pump, a biannual professional tune-up—once before summer and again before winter—is crucial. This includes inspecting the reversing valve, checking refrigerant levels, and cleaning coils to ensure efficient operation and prevent common breakdowns specific to our coastal environment.
