Condensate Pump In Attic

Last week i saw it twice.

Condensate pump in attic.

First time i ve seen this in 4 years. However some installations require pumping the fluid through the attic or over other obstacles using a condensate pump. I ve also seen heat tape warp pvc pipe sort of spiral like a unicorn. Yes this is why i have such distain for 90 furnaces in an attic.

This is what i said about it. Hvac condensate pumps in the attic. What are your thoughts. Most systems depend on both gravity and a 3 4 inch drain line to direct the water to the home s exterior.

Condensation from the attic unit evaporator coil is pumped to the exterior. The air conditioner condensate pump photo at the very top of this page shows an air conditioning condensate pump installed in an attic where it was used to move condensate across to a final condensate disposal point. Neither had the pump in a drip pan. Do yourself a favor and find a place to run a 3 4 inch schedule 40 pvc pipe to an interior location.

During the cooling process an hvac system produces condensation. A condensate pump in an attic is a direct path to regret man you have worked too hard to go down that road.
