Gillis Ac & Refrigeration, Inc | Emergency HVAC Services in Stuart, FL

In our humid Stuart climate, the most common cause is a clogged condensate drain line. Algae and mold thrive in the moist drain pan and line, creating a blockage that forces water to back up and leak. At Gillis AC & Refrigeration, we clear the clog using specialized tools and vacuum out the drain pan. We often recommend and install a safety float switch to automatically shut off the AC if a future clog occurs, preventing costly water damage to your home.

Our Stuart-specific maintenance service focuses heavily on preventing the leaks and clogs common in our area. We thoroughly inspect and clean the condensate drain pan, flush the drain line with a biocide to inhibit algae growth, and check the drain line's primary and secondary openings for proper flow. This proactive care keeps your system draining correctly, improves efficiency, and helps avoid emergency leaks during our hottest, most humid months.

Absolutely. A cracked or corroded drain pan is a frequent culprit for persistent leaks. Our technicians will assess the condition of your existing pan. If a repair isn't feasible, we can expertly replace it with a new, durable pan designed for your specific AC unit model. We ensure it's properly sealed and leveled during installation to direct all condensation into the drain line, providing a long-term solution to protect your Stuart home.
