Common Questions
Why is one room in my Lexington home always hotter than the rest?
This common issue of uneven cooling is often due to restricted airflow, leaky ductwork, or an improperly sized HVAC system, especially in our region's varied home styles. Rudd Heating & Cooling performs a comprehensive diagnostic, including a duct inspection and static pressure test, to pinpoint the cause—whether it's a simple damper adjustment, duct sealing, or a discussion about system zoning for optimal comfort in every room.
What causes my AC's condensate drain to clog, and how can I prevent it?
Lexington's high humidity means your AC works hard to remove moisture from the air, which leads to algae and mold growth in the condensate drain line—the primary cause of clogs. While you can pour a cup of vinegar down the drain line monthly as a preventative measure, a professional cleaning as part of your annual maintenance is the best defense. We clear the line with a specialized vacuum and may recommend a preventative tablet to inhibit future growth and avoid potential water damage.
What should I do if I see water pooling around my indoor AC unit?
This is a clear sign of a clogged condensate drain, a frequent issue in our climate. First, turn off your AC at the thermostat to prevent further water flow and potential damage. Then, check the PVC drain line outside your home for a visible blockage. While you can attempt to clear it with a wet/dry vacuum, persistent clogs often require professional attention. Call Rudd Heating & Cooling. We'll not only clear the current clog but also inspect the drain pan, safety switch, and entire drainage system to ensure it won't happen again.
