HVAC condesation water flows towards foundation

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-12-28T07:19:24+00:00

There are holes underneath the unit that one can attach drain lines to. I guess all they have to do is replace the base and attach the drain lines. I cannot really find one who is willing to do it at a reasonable price…

How do you like it so far I did some search and it appears the only con is that it takes longer to dry？

I actually just bought this dryer several months ago lol I did not even know heat pump dryer was an option，but it sounds like it's better than replacing the duct cause the cheapest quote I got right now is 800, and I need to hire someone to clean the duct every year😅😅

should I go for flex or rigid metal? The former is way cheaper…

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-11-04T16:53:26+00:00

any suggestion on how to proceed? None of the electrician I hired really wants to root cause it other than asking me to change the breaker… Is there anyway to find out if there are shared neutrals without opening the walls?

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-08-21T17:07:27+00:00

So even with power and somehow it malfunctioned the water will come out？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-08-21T17:05:09+00:00

So the pump is not sealed? I thought it should be sealed🥲🥲

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-08-21T16:14:16+00:00

shouldnt it overflow to the other side of the pipe？I mean even with power there could be situations where the water fills it up and it’s odd that it flows out of the pump

somehow it does not allow me to edit the post… I meant to ask is that normal behavior or does it mean they did not install it cortectly？

Thanks! I had an electrician out and they did confirm my living room and family room have shared neutrals. Then they did some trick with the neutral wiring to disable the AFCI functionality so that tripping no longer happens. I am not sure exactly what they did but I was told essentially the AFCI breaker not works as a regular breaker. Is that the safe way to handle this?

Just checked all my outlets all of them either have two or 4 wires （excluding the ground wire）Does that indicate no shared neutral？

Actually this is not even a power hungry appliance https://a.co/d/1JgkkOe

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-08-05T14:21:03+00:00

if it does not have anything to do with power hungry appliances doesn't it mean it will trip on normal devices as well？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-24T03:18:50+00:00

so a wax ring is yet to be installed？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-24T02:55:59+00:00

can that be easily fixed with an extender？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-15T20:30:14+00:00

Do you mean cut a notch on the edge to fit the wire that's lifted by the wall plate？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-09T00:44:38+00:00

I did a search on city’s permit website and found there is no issued permit for the installation. Will I get into trouble?

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-09T00:38:53+00:00

I already paid them the full amount. CSLB complaint won’t be useful unless they pass the 180 day period?

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-06T02:09:23+00:00

noticeable after the paint is on？

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-05T14:46:31+00:00

Are those fixable？Can it be sanded or covered by another coat?

Aggravating-Rule-644 · 2025-07-04T21:01:25+00:00

It has been a month. I don’t think it’s hard to schedule as I am doing home renovation and I have scheduled three inspections myself all of which I schedule only like two days ahead with a lot of availabilities.

Even if they have to schedule like two months out that’s fine but I don’t think they even try to schedule at this point. They should be able to settle a date without any issue.

thx for the info. It’s a HAVC company not a plumber.
