Why A Clogged Condensate Line Is Bad News

Monday, June 5th, 2023

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the moisture your AC collects during the cooling process? Your air conditioner has a part called a condensate drain that is designed to collect and channel away this moisture. But water and condensation aren’t all that’s capable of entering this drain. Dust and dirt can accumulate and things like mold spores can develop in this line and become trapped in the drain. 

Just like with any drain line with a small diameter, the condensate line can eventually become clogged to the point that no condensation can pass through. This water may back up into the air conditioner or around the surrounding floor and walls. As you can imagine, leaking water is never a good thing in a home. Learn why this happens and what you can do to prevent it. If your AC develops a drain clog, give us a call for prompt air conditioning service in Hammond.

Most homeowners know that regular preventive maintenance is crucial to keeping HVAC systems in fine working order.

Does an Air Purifier Really Work?

Monday, June 20th, 2022

We get a lot of calls from homeowners who read some kind of “debunking” article about air purifiers in Hammond, LA. These kinds of articles, videos, and blog posts are pretty common lately because their primary intent is to open your mind about a certain piece of equipment or technology that you previously thought worked well. While we applaud anyone who looks at scientific articles and other research on their prospective devices, whole-house air purifiers are scientifically proven to work.

Portable air purifiers are tricky because they can sometimes be in over their head trying to purify all of the air in a large room or small home, but whole-home systems are specifically designed to treat the air in your entire house through the HVAC system.

So yes, an air purifier, especially a UV air purifier, definitely works. Keep reading to learn why!

What Can Happen When You Ignore an AC Repair?

Monday, May 23rd, 2022

Ignoring an AC repair is a matter of time. Sure, if you encounter a strange noise in the middle of the night, you might just feel better shutting your AC off and going back to sleep–especially if you’ve got a long workday ahead of you. You don’t have to treat your AC like it’s a stovetop erupting in flame. AC repairs are way more nuanced, and it requires a bit of expectation setting before you call for repairs.

However, if you’ve been waiting weeks to see if you should call for professional air conditioning repair in Hammond, LA, then that might be too long. There is such a thing as waiting “too long” for AC repairs, as we’ll explore in this blog post. Sometimes, waiting too long can even lead to an early AC replacement, which nobody really wants.

Let’s talk about how long is “too long” to wait for AC repairs.
