Elite Construction | Certified HVAC Repair in Detroit, MI

Yes, that's a very common issue here. Detroit's climate causes HVAC systems to run heavily for both heating and cooling, leading to significant condensation. Over time, the drain line can become clogged with algae and debris, causing the system to shut off as a safety measure or leak water. Elite Construction performs thorough drain line cleaning and can install preventative measures like safety switches to protect your home from water damage.

This is often a sign of thermostat malfunction, which is frequent due to power surges, aging units, or incorrect calibration. An erratic thermostat can't communicate properly with your furnace or AC, leading to hot and cold spots and higher energy bills. We diagnose the issue, which could be as simple as replacing batteries or require a professional recalibration or upgrade to a more reliable programmable or smart thermostat for better control.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a professional HVAC tune-up twice a year—once before summer and once before winter. During this service, we specifically check and clear your condensate drain line and test your thermostat's accuracy and wiring. This Detroit-focused maintenance helps catch small issues before they lead to a full breakdown, saving you money and ensuring year-round comfort in our variable climate.
