re: A/C Condenser Unit Question

Not everyone has or wants a smart thermostat. If the float switch failed in the winter and you break the 24v to the thermostat, you have no heat. Not good if you are away in the winter. Opening the A/C circuit is the correct way. If someone is handy enough to pop the float over to test, they are handy enough to figure out if the drain is the problem.

Ok, yet almost all of that doesn’t really apply. Smart thermostat? Who cares about that. I was pointing that out if you are routinely away. Plugging it to your basic thermostat shows anyone at home they don’t have power, it won’t run…

And heat? Lol. How much water is pulled from the air in the winter? I’ve yet to hear of anyone with a condensate line issue in the winter….

There’s not that many places in the south where the heat failing is really that big of an issue. As in, where there’s a major condensate line issue for a good portion of the year due to the AC running.

So your solution is the 7-9 month a year problem is helping most people maybe 7-10 days a year? Hmm
