A couple months after we moved into our rental house my DH was in the hospital for 8 days. I ran home after work to get something and went upstairs and the water was just dripping like crazy in my DD's room. I went up in the attic and the pan was overflowing. I had no idea what to do. I tried calling my landlord and she didn't call back for a few hours.Â
Â
I got up in the attic with a big plastic storage container, a cup and a few beach towels and tried to get the water out of the pan after I shut off the air. Luckily the AC guy came that night because there was no way I could get that container down the stairs. He said it was an alge problem in the line.
Â
He then showed us what to look for so it wouldn't happen again and every year now they come to do a maintenance check and blow out the line just to be sure it won't happen again.
Â
This year they also installed a shut off switch. If the pan starts to overflow the AC will shut itself off and then we call him to come fix it.
Â
I hope nothing else goes wrong for you
@wjo and that your grandson is feeling better. I think I missed the update on that one. 4951
