There was mold on my cooling coil and algae blocking the condensate drain.
For a long time I just lived with a cooling system that had a wet puddle around it. I figured I would get around to it. But in Phoenix, Arizona the AC is used for most of the year. There really isn’t much downtime unless you count at night. So while the puddle was annoying, I was willing to live with it. So what if it was a little wet? Well I started to care once my home had a gross, musty odor. I then realized my rug was going to get ruined as a result of the leaking cooling system. So I had no choice but to call a Phoenix, Arizona cooling business. I really didn’t want to lose AC for even a second. In Arizona you need AC stat. So when the guy came over I was basically biting my nails and so I hoped everything was fine. Turns out it was a quick fix and it was a good thing I called early. I just had some dust and algae clogging things inside my system. The air filter got swapped out. The inner workings were dusted. There was mold on my cooling coil and algae blocking the condensate drain. That is what caused the leaking water to eventually puddle. I am super glad I didn’t lose AC for longer than an hour. Now I don’t have to worry about the water and the scent is gone from my home. I am going to be way better about Phoenix, Arizona AC service since I don’t want this to happen again.
