Came home from work on Monday and heard this weird dripping sound. Walked into the laundry room and the carpet squished like a sponge. The cooler hadn't been used since October and I just left it. I always thought draining it was optional, like a nice to have. Nope. The float valve got stuck and it filled the pan and overflowed for god knows how long. Took me 3 hours with a shop vac and 2 box fans to dry it out. Now I check the drain plug every month even in winter. Anyone else learn this the hard way or am I just the dummy this time?
Seriously considering switching from gas furnace to a heat pump for both heating and cooling. Can anyone recommend a company in ABQ that really knows heat pumps? Seems like some places still just push basic AC units.
