Getting the issue that caused the blower to go out was what cost the most, but it'll lower our long-term costs.

Bad relay, $200 dollars for the call and a $5 part.

They cost around $200 a year, but they get you two free checks a year, and priority service and discounts on service calls. Also, if you have pets, change the filter MONTHLY!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-53594286648547247852017-07-31T19:57:37.466-05:002017-07-31T19:57:37.466-05:00If it's such a common problem, why don't m...If it's such a common problem, why don't more people check it frequently, and prevent it from *happening* in the first place? *I'd* have been checking if I knew it was an issue that could cause the blower to burn out. <br /><br />He said he put in a pump, then tapped the pump into one of the drain lines going from one of the sinks into the septic tank.

There's a condensate pan and a drain line, with another condensate pan and drain to deal with the condensation from the primary condensate pan. Some are equipped with float switches that cut off power to the AC if the water level in the condensate pan rises too high. It's a popular cause of service calls, and an easy fix (Blow algae and crap out of drain line)and easy to avoid (put a toilet puck on a bottle cap in the pan). Also a good source of employment for drywall repair guys!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448124833598565813noreply@blogger.com
