Air Conditioning & Furnace Drain Pan

An HVAC drain pan collects condensation and channels excess water away from equipment, preventing leaks and damage. Air conditioning drain pan replacement is crucial when pans are rusted, cracked, or clogged, as it maintains proper drainage and system efficiency. Use vertical and durable plastic pans that resist corrosion for long-lasting performance.

Accessories such as condensate drain traps and drain spuds ensure proper water flow, while drain plugs and autodrain valves simplify maintenance and cleaning. For systems exposed to freezing conditions, an 18" lead drain heater protects the pan from ice buildup, while blocked drain switches provide safety shutoffs to prevent overflow damage. By using these replacement pans and accessories, HVAC systems remain efficient, safe, and protected from moisture-related problems
