Nothing can keep someone up at night like a constant dripping noise. Seriously, we’re hardwired to wake up at the sound of a drip, due to the fact that it can clue us into mold growth somewhere which can be dangerous to our health. The problem comes from the fact that air conditioning systems are complex and deal with a lot of moisture, so how do we problem solve this type of issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reasons for a “Dripping Noise”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air conditioners don’t just cool the air in your home, they also remove humidity from it. As a byproduct of the cooling process, humidity turns from a gas to a liquid through condensation, and it gets deposited into a drain that’s known as a “condensate drain.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This component is vital because humidity can often be the reason why your home is so hot, even when it’s just 79 degrees. Your air conditioner’s ability to deal with humidity is what makes it an excellent cooling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
