Installing an AC Condensate line

blank

Today we will be installing an AC condensate line on the unit in my bedroom so that I don’t have to remember to empty the pail every other day.

I was getting frustrated with my old setup, where I had to empty the pail every other day from my bedroom air conditioner unit. Yes, it’s not that hard of a job, but the humid days were approaching 5 gallons of water – something had to change! Running the condensate line outside seemed like the perfect solution.

However, besides just running the hose out the window and letting it drain on the deck, I discovered that could cause many other problems later on. Nor was I willing to risk that. In fact, I decided to do some further research and find a better way to install an AC condensate line.

In addition to just getting rid of the pail, this solution would help me prevent wet floors, fill up the septic tank with distilled water, and worry less about my AC unit. Furthermore, it was a relatively easy job that required some PEX tubing and a few fittings – nothing too complicated!

So, in the end, I’m no longer dealing with the hassle of emptying the pail or worrying about my air conditioner. What’s more, I’ve learned a new skill and gained confidence in my DIY abilities. Next time you’re thinking of tackling a similar project, take heart knowing that it’s possible to make a difference with a little bit of effort.

Lastly, if you want to see how I did this installation yourself, check out the video description below for more information on what you’ll need and how to do it.

I retired from a large mid-western medical equipment manufacturer on December 31 (2019) and decided to try to let everyone in on my life and my transition into retirement. I have a varied set of interests. I live in a 90 year old cape cod in the middle of a small city of 70,000 people. I have a small lot across the street from the city seat of government, but despite that I have a 1952 Allis Chalmers farm tractor that I drive around the city from time to time. My wife has a business that has me fixing and creating cool home decor out of broken windows and drywall screws. I have been known to buy things on 'for sale' lists, fix it up, clean it up, generally add value and sell it off. Oh, yes, I'm getting chickens! But first I have to build the chicken coop and run. It will be like no other you have ever seen. Also will give me something to do. I am into home automation, have a Home Assistant enabled home and so will the chickens! I'll have to give them a password...
