You Can't Fight Gravity


This is part of the heating and air system. It is in the attic and is laying on its side. We all have one of these (if you are not electric heat). We all know that it has a pan to catch condensation and a pipe to remove it from the pan. This system was invented so you do not have floods in your house. You just have to remember one thing. Water runs downhill, it will not run up hill. The drain pipe was run at an upward slant so all the condensation was sitting in the pan and believe me it was super gross water. We got the pipe fixed by cutting a large hole in the side of the building while thanking the powers that be that it is a metal building and not brick or rock and slanted the pipe downhill. We then find that another  vent pipe that is suppose to be at a gentle curve is at a 90 degree angle and so the furnace will not work efficiently. How can you live in a place for 7 years and not notice these things?

We are so glad that our dear friend Chuck who is Season Control and jumps right on our questions.

Furnace works well now, water flows downhill and all is right in the HVAC world once again.
