HVAC Condensate: Where does it go?

Several factors can contribute to a decision not to replace the HVAC condensate line during an upgrade, including:

-The age of the building

-The condition of the existing line

-The type and size of the HVAC system being replaced

If the existing condensate line is in good condition, there may be no need to replace it. If the line is appropriately sized, sloped, and positioned, and there is no evidence of damage or blockage, the line can continue to function effectively with the new system.

The replacement of the condensate line can add significant cost to the upgrade project. Depending on the size of the line and the complexity of the installation, the cost of replacing the condensate line can be substantial. In some cases, upgrading the HVAC system is expensive enough on its own, so the addition of replacing the condensate line can be financially burdensome or unnecessary.

It is vital that condensate water lines are installed and maintained accordingly to prevent potential damage to equipment and structures they are servicing.
