Understanding Why AC Units Leak An air conditioner in Portland works by removing heat and humidity from the air, which naturally produces condensation. Usually, this water collects in a drain pan and flows out through a condensate line. When something interrupts that...
Every air conditioner in Portland creates condensation as it removes humidity from the air. This water flows through the condensate drain line to the outside of your home. If the line clogs with dirt, algae, or mold, water can back up into your system, causing leaks....
Beginning of Cooling Innovation The idea of air conditioning dates back to 1758, when Benjamin Franklin and John Hadley, a chemistry professor at Cambridge University, experimented with the rapid evaporation of alcohol and other liquids to lower temperatures. Their...
The journey of air conditioner began in the 18th century with experiments in evaporation and cooling. In 1758, Benjamin Franklin and John Hadley experimented with the use of alcohol and ether to lower temperatures through rapid evaporation. These early studies proved...
Air conditioning has transformed how Portlanders live. From homes to schools, AC systems make summers tolerable, allowing people to work, sleep, and relax in comfort even during intense heatwaves. Before AC, many relied on fans or shaded porches—but today, cool indoor...
When your fan is running but there’s no air coming out of your vents, it’s more than just frustrating—it’s a sign that something is off with your HVAC system. Whether you’re trying to cool your home on a warm Portland day or heat it during a chilly evening, airflow...
