HVAC help,
Got home from work tonight, and the wife told me I needed to look at the upstairs thermostat as it was just blank. No breakers tripped, so I proceeded to the attic. The flood pan has nearly an inch of water in, cool flood sensor tripped. My curiosity gets the better of me, and at this point I figure it’s condensate but why it not going through the condensate drain. Open the unit and see the attached. The condensate drain is clearly plugged. So I’m going to sort that out. But given it’s 100+ in my attic at the moment my questions are these Is it worth my time tonight or is the compressor and such just dead? If it’s not dead is it safe to run for a week or so while I get the replacement quoted and installed? What am I looking at for replacement cost wise if this is a replacement situation submitted by /u/WyoFarr [link] [comments]
