Strange aroma coming from my exterior Heating plus A/C unit
My pal and I started to aroma a weird aroma when we were outside, it aromaed like a stagnant pond plus realized it was coming from the drain line of the air conditioner unit.
We’ve constantly been pretty good about general service on our Heating plus A/C system so when we started having an issue we were a bit surprised. My pal and I only have it maintained every other year because we don’t use it as much as multiple people do although I do perform preventive service twice a year. My pal and I use a high-performance filter on the system so that it can attract small dust particles plus bacteria to keep the air in our apartment safe. I constantly make sure that the interior component as well as exterior component have ample space around them so that debris doesn’t cause an issue as well. I give a visual check of things like the coolant lines plus wiring to make sure nothing has disfigurementd them however the one thing I did not know that I needed to do was flush the drain lines on the cooling system. My pal and I started to aroma a weird aroma when we were outside, it aromaed like a stagnant pond plus realized it was coming from the drain line of the air conditioner unit. I went online to see how I could service this plus multiple of the sites said that you can flush a easy bleach water mixture down the drain plus it will kill any algae that has developed in the line. I followed the easy steps that were recommended plus within a couple of afternoons the aroma disappeared plus the websites also said that this would help prevent disfigurement to the air conditioner component from bacteria buildup. If you are not sure how to do this I highly recommend contacting an Heating plus A/C professional to have them come take care of this for you. I’m pretty handy so it is not that hard however if you are not proficient at apartment service you are better to trust a professional.
