Mike K. - 1st Call Plumbing & AC 5 Star review: Ruben came to my house to clear my AC condensation line that was clogged. He then found an issue with drain that the AC line drains into. He said a plumber would be needed to address that. So, he put in a call and within 5 minutes David and Steve showed up at my address. They sized up the job and then completed a very professional overhaul of the drain line. The cost for this repair was very reasonable and David and Steve were both very professional!

A malfunctioning air conditioner can stem from several common issues, including problems with the thermostat, a dirty air filter, refrigerant leaks, or tripped circuit breakers. Other potential causes include frozen evaporator coils, electrical issues, or mechanical failures within the AC unit. Here's a more detailed look at some of the common reasons: 5 -10. 5. Tripped Circuit Breaker: • An overloaded or short-circuited AC unit can trip the circuit breaker, cutting off power to the system. • If the breaker is tripped, try resetting it, but if it trips again, it could indicate a more serious electrical issue. 6. Frozen Evaporator Coil: • Insufficient airflow over the evaporator coil can cause it to freeze, disrupting the cooling process. This can be caused by a dirty air filter, blocked vents, or low refrigerant levels. 7. Dirty Condenser Coils: • Debris on the outdoor unit's condenser coils can hinder heat exchange and reduce cooling efficiency. 8. Electrical Issues: • Other electrical problems, such as a faulty capacitor or contactor, can prevent the AC unit from starting or operating correctly. 9. Mechanical Failures: • Compressor issues, fan motor problems, or other mechanical failures can also lead to AC malfunction. These issues often require professional HVAC repair. 10. Blocked Vents or Ducts: • Restrictions in the ductwork can prevent cool air from reaching the intended areas.

What are the most common reasons for a slow drain or drain clog? There are many reasons that cause slow drains or clogs such as hair, soap scum, grease, food particles, and mineral buildup. Other common causes may include tree roots, pipe corrosion, or small objects. From the 1st Call Plumbing & AC Pro Tips Series. • Hair and Soap Scum: In bathroom sinks and showers, hair and soap scum accumulate and can create blockages. • Grease, Oils, and Fats: These materials can harden and accumulate in kitchen sinks and other drains, especially in the P-trap. • Food Particles: Rinsing food scraps down the sink can lead to clogs, especially with grease. • Mineral Buildup: Hard water can deposit minerals inside pipes, leading to slow drains. • Tree Roots: Tree roots can grow into sewer lines and cause clogs. • Pipe Corrosion: Corrosion can create rough surfaces inside pipes, allowing debris to accumulate and block the flow. • Foreign Objects: Small objects, like toys or jewelry, can also block drains.
