Hernandez Plumbing & Heating: Experienced HVAC Repair Serving Santa Fe, NM 87501

A comprehensive plumbing inspection from our team includes checking the condensate drainage system for your HVAC unit. In Santa Fe's climate, clogs or slow drainage can lead to water damage and, critically, cause the air handler fan to fail or create issues with the heat pump's reversing valve. We ensure these lines are clear and properly pitched to protect your entire system from moisture-related failures.

During our plumbing inspection, we specifically look for signs that could impact your HVAC system's health. This includes checking for improper condensate drainage, which can strain your air handler fan, and inspecting water lines near the unit for leaks that could cause corrosion or electrical issues affecting components like the heat pump reversing valve. Catching these early is key in Santa Fe.

Absolutely. A common culprit for air handler fan failure in our area is a clogged condensate drain line. When this happens, a safety switch (the condensate overflow switch) can shut off the fan to prevent water damage. Our plumbing inspection would identify such a blockage, clear it, and help prevent future shutdowns, getting your system back to reliable operation.
