Why Is It Important To Keep My Drip Pans Clean?

In this episode, we talk with special guest, Brandon Day, from Daycool Heating and Air, about the importance of proper maintenance for your air conditioning (AC) system. He explains the crucial role that the drip pans found beneath your air conditioning units play, especially if the unit is installed in the attic, a common placement for many households.
Brandon highlights that the pan you see is not the main pan but a backup pan, and finding water in it indicates a potential problem. The purpose of the pan and the float switches connected to it is to prevent water back-up from damaging your home. Brandon affirms that proper maintenance of these pans is essential to prevent water leaks and significant damage.
We explore why it's critical to ensure the pan, the pipes, and the area around it remain clean and clear. Obstructions such as insulation, dirt, dust, and even misplaced household items can cause major problems if they find their way into the pan. Brandon shares the steps his team at Daycool take to maintain the pan and talks about the immediate and devastating potential for damage caused by blockages.
Brandon recommends having professionals like Daycool perform maintenance checks at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall, and shares some DIY maintenance tips for homeowners. He underlines the importance of ongoing maintenance to prevent failures and major breakdowns in the heat of summer.
The episode concludes by reminding listeners that Brandon's contact information is available in the podcast description for those seeking expert AC system maintenance services. Brandon expresses gratitude for the opportunity to share his knowledge on the Checker Pro Radio Show, helping listeners ensure the longevity and efficiency of their AC systems.

Can I Use My Current Air Ducts In A New Install?

 
It's inevitable, at some point, you will need to replace your heating and air conditioning system. Contemplating this impending task raises a question: Do you also need to replace the ductwork at the same time? This podcast episode brings Brandon Day from Day Cool Heating and Air onboard to answer this question.
According to Brandon, whether you need to replace the duct work while updating your air conditioning system is a gray area. It largely depends on various factors, including duct size, equipment size, airflow, and static pressure. Essentially, your ductwork needs to sustain the increased airflow from the new system. Therefore, assessing its condition critically is crucial.
There are alternatives if the ductwork is sound but has leaky seams. Products like AeroSeal and Mastic can help seal the gaps, improving the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. Even if the ducts are made of metal — arguably the best material for this infrastructure — these products can help properly seal it.
While replacing the ductwork during AC replacements is ideal because it eliminates accumulated dust, every situation is unique. Sometimes, the existing ductwork cannot handle the demands of the new equipment, making replacement necessary. It's akin to trying to pull a 40-foot boat with a compact vehicle — not always the best solution.
Frequently, homeowners opt for complete replacement without hesitation, seeking the assurance of having a completely new system. This strategy could be ideal unless the existing ductwork is superior or accessing it for replacement proves too difficult. Being aware that structural changes, such as sheetrock repairs, might be part of the process, is essential.
In the end, decisions depend on various factors, including your budget, the state of your existing system, and your unique requirements. Expert opinions from professionals like Brandon Day can help guide you to make the best decision for your home.
