Condensate Pump & Drain Repair in Providence, RI
Air conditioners, heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces and boilers all make water that has to go somewhere. When the pump fails or the drain clogs, that water ends up on the floor, in a ceiling or shuts the system down. We clear, repair and reroute drains and replace failed pumps.
Water at the furnace, a dead condensate pump or a clogged drain line on AC and high-efficiency heat. Typical cost in Providence runs $145 to $685, and the phone is answered 24/7 at (401) 598-2964.
Signs it is time to call
- Water around the furnace, air handler or boiler
- A condensate pump that runs constantly or not at all
- The AC shut off and the float switch has tripped
- Stained ceiling under an attic air handler
Rhode Island summers are short but humid, with heat-wave stretches in the 90s that hit top floors hardest. Many older homes here never had ducts, so cooling ranges from conventional central air on furnaces to small-duct and ductless systems in homes heated by radiators.
What the work includes
- Flush the drain line and trap, clear algae and sludge
- Replace failed condensate pumps with safety switch wiring
- Add or test float switches and secondary pans
- Reroute or neutralize drains where code or the drain path requires it
Attic air handlers in Warwick and East Greenwich homes are a common source of ceiling stains. A secondary pan and float switch are cheap insurance.
How the visit goes
- We check the thermostat, the indoor coil, the drain and the filter first.
- Then the outdoor unit: electrical parts, fan, coil and refrigerant readings.
- Repairs are quoted before work starts, and we confirm cold air at the registers before leaving.

Condensate Pump & Drain Repair questions
Why is water leaking from my furnace?
In summer it is usually the AC coil drain or condensate pump. In winter on high-efficiency furnaces it is often a clogged trap or pump. Both are routine repairs.
How long do condensate pumps last?
Many last five to ten years. Buildup in the reservoir and failing floats are the usual causes of failure.
Can a clogged AC drain damage my system?
It can shut the system off through the float switch, and if there is no switch, overflow water can damage ceilings and floors.
