An air conditioner is a vital component for comfort in many homes and businesses, especially during warmer months. Like any complex piece of machinery, it benefits significantly from routine maintenance.

The HVAC industry is currently grappling with an unprecedented a/c refrigerant shortage, a situation that has arisen due to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Previously, most air-conditioning systems relied on R-22 and other refrigerants. These were phased out due to their ozone-depleting properties. The updated regulations mandate the use of lower Global Warming Potential […]

As eTrapp cleans condensate for many kinds of HVAC systems, it has a wide range of applications. Single-family homes, apartment/condominium complexes, businesses, and other commercial buildings can all benefit from installing eTrapp. Dirty Condensation All HVAC systems produce condensation as part of their normal operation. But condensation carries organisms that can wreak havoc if not […]

The National Weather Service has stated, “Heat is the leading weather-related killer in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year.” Heat waves can occur across the nation including areas that are accustomed to triple digit temperatures and don’t rely on HVAC systems as much as hotter climates. Knowing how to keep your […]

The eTrapp Condensate Treatment System is a multifunctional smart system. It solves the root cause of clogged condensate lines eliminating overflows altogether. 

An air conditioner failure in the hottest months of the year is awful. The increase of use during summer could overload your air conditioner’s capacity to function.

These days, there are several HVAC systems that a house or building can have to condition the air inside. Some colder regions may have systems that emphasize heating while hotter regions have systems that emphasize cooling. Some systems have both heating and cooling capabilities. Other systems only move air without changing the temperature. What type of […]

Air conditioner condensation is produced during the normal functioning of an HVAC unit. An HVAC unit works by blowing air over a series of pipes (coils) that have hot or cold refrigerant flowing through them. Condensation forms on coils that are colder than the ambient temperature, just like condensation forms on an ice cold drink […]

Your air conditioner drain line is probably clogged because the line is filled with bacterial growth. This growth prevents condensate from flowing through the line. Clogs this bad back up water into the drain pan. The pan is at risk for overflowing, too, unless you have a drain pan float switch to shut off the […]

If you notice that your air-conditioner pan is always full of water or tends to overflow, it could be that your condensate line is clogged with bacteria.
