re: A/C condensate pan overflow

I ended up calling out an AC company who checked it over and said there was a 2nd inline float switch that was backing up.

If this is a legit company, I’d make sure to contact them and have them cover the repairs. The float switches are intended to prevent issues just like this. Disabling or removing that switch directly resulting in an overflow and damage is 100% on the AC company. The technician should be correcting the action, not wiring a bypass around the safety features. If he thought the switch was bad, you should have been given the option of replacing the switch.
