The primary output of your AC units is COLD AIR. Most of us wouldn't live in Arizona without it. An ignored by-product is WATER (called condensate) as the AC unit squeezes the humidity out of the air.
Where is your AC condensate going? The failure to answer that question costs Arizona homeowners thousands of dollars every cooling season. To see a system by system overview, click here.

| Question of the Month |
 Tile Roofs and Water Stains?
Why can a tile roof look fine and yet there are water stains in the home?
Water gets under most scalloped tile roofs in wind driven rain storms. If there are openings in the under-layment (felt paper) either from cuts, damage or aging; water will find its way into the home. Another common source of leaks is insufficient, improper or damaged roof flashing. Roof flashing is utilized at plumbing vents, roof valleys, roof transitions, chimneys, etc. Finding/correcting leaks requires removal of tile and evaluation of underlayment/flashing. We recommend that roof repairs be performed by licensed roofing contractors. (Be sure that your roofer is qualified for the type of roof in question.) |
