The condensate line on an air conditioner requires a p-trap.  The p-trap stays wet all the time.  The water in the p-trap keeps any contaminants in the attic air from entering the system and getting blown into the house.  The vent allows any contaminants in the line to escape.  It is important to install the vent after the p-trap.  Contractors may tell you that the vent is before the p-rap so that the home owner can pour some bleach in it periodically to keep the line flowing freely.  That is fine to do as long as the vent has a cap on it and there is an open vent on the other side of the p-trap.  The vent in the picture will allow the air blowing across the coils to blow into the attic and waste energy. 10/19/2010

The rains that came down hard in Estrella Mountain Ranch last week have caused the soft soil under this condensing unit to settle.  Air conditioning compressors like to be level while operating.  It is the same principle as the warning on your refrigerator box to stand it up right for a period of time before plugging it in.  Now is a good time to check out your unit or any other damage that was caused by the rain storms.               Loren Green Greens Home Design L.L.C.
