Drain
Replacement

The drain tube in an air conditioner unit makes sure all the condensate collected from the finned cooling coil in the drain tray, is removed safely to the outside. Sometimes a sloping tube is sufficient to let the condensate drain safely outside. Some air conditioner systems have a special pump fitted to make sure the condensate drains away. However, all air conditioner systems collect condensate in a type of drain tray which will usually remain moist and become a good collector dust and dirt. It can also harbour insects that clog the drain tube and prevent condensate flow creating other problems. Mostly these drain tubes are made from PVC tubes or similar and are subject to becoming brittle, breaking down and fracturing. By the time a blockage or break occurs, it’s too late, so early inspection and prevention is the best remedy.
