HVAC Expert's Key Tip: Independent Power for Condensation Pumps Prevents Leaks
Santiago, Chile – An HVAC expert has provided a crucial piece of advice for proper air conditioning installation, specifically concerning condensation pumps. In a recent online video, the expert, known for his practical tips, emphasized that condensation pumps should always be connected to an independent power supply. This recommendation addresses a common query about whether to link the pump to the air conditioner's internal unit or a separate power outlet. According to the expert, wiring the pump directly to the air conditioner's compressor power supply is a frequent oversight. "When the compressor works, the pump works," he explained, "but when it doesn't work and the unit continues to condense, it overflows and leaks water anyway." He highlighted the importance of an independent power source to ensure the pump operates continuously as needed, preventing potential water damage and system malfunctions. This simple yet vital detail can help avoid common installation errors for both professionals and those undertaking their own HVAC projects.
