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.

Air conditioners produce condensate during normal operation, and the amount produced increases as the ambient temperature rises. Condensate flows out of the air conditioner through a pipe and into the sewer system.

A sewer gas stench coming into your home or building from the air vents can be hazardous. An odor that you may describe as “rotten egg smell” is hydrogen sulfide, a gas produced when bacteria break down organic matter that is deadly to humans and animals in large amounts

The eTrapp system replaces the common p-trap and is plumbed into the condensate line as close as possible to the condensate outlet. We prefer that the actual installation of the eTrapp be performed by an authorized HVAC technician or Pro.
