B & E Heating and Cooling | Professional HVAC Services in Florissant, MO

This is a common issue during our St. Louis summers. Often, it's due to a refrigerant leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. It could also be something simpler like a clogged air filter restricting airflow. Our technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a clear, efficient repair to restore your cool air quickly.

In our humid climate, your AC's condensate drain line removes moisture. Over time, algae, mold, and dirt can build up inside, causing a clog that leads to water leaks and potential water damage. You can help prevent this by having your system professionally maintained annually, where we clean the drain line. For a quick DIY check, you can also pour a cup of vinegar down the accessible drain opening yearly to inhibit growth.

A water leak typically points to a clogged condensate drain, which is very common here. First, check if the drain pan is overflowing. Turn off your AC at the thermostat to prevent further water collection and potential damage. Then, call us. We'll clear the blockage, ensure the drain line and pump (if you have one) are working properly, and check for any other issues to get your system back to drying the air effectively.
