HVAC Services Portland OR | Call Lay's Hvac

In our damp climate, a clogged condensate drain line is a very frequent culprit. When this line gets blocked with algae or debris, it triggers a safety switch that shuts the system down. We clear the line using specialized tools and often apply an algaecide treatment to prevent a quick recurrence, getting your cooling back on track quickly.
