kingo Replaced 2 duct’s at Leveled First Company Furdown in River Oaks, TX

The project focused on vital upgrades to the ductwork and the condensate drainage system within the property’s air handling infrastructure, specifically targeting the unit situated in the “Leveled First Company Furdown.” The goal was to enhance system safety, improve drainage integrity, and restore optimal airflow through key sections of the ductwork.

💨 Project Scope: Duct Repair and Condensate System Upgrade

The core of this job involved two critical components: addressing issues with the existing air duct system and implementing essential safety measures related to water management. Air ducts are fundamental to the efficiency of any HVAC system, as they are responsible for moving conditioned air throughout the home. Furthermore, a properly functioning condensate drain system is crucial in humid climates like Houston to prevent water damage from backed-up moisture. Our work ensures the system operates reliably and safely, protecting the structure of the property.

🌬️ Air Duct Replacement and Airflow Optimization

A key part of the service involved the replacement of two sections of damaged or inefficient air ducts. These ducts were located adjacent to the air handling unit (AHU) within the “Leveled First Company Furdown” an enclosed space often used to house HVAC components. Damaged or collapsed ducts significantly restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder, which raises energy bills and shortens the lifespan of the equipment.

By installing new, properly sealed ductwork, Kingo ensured that conditioned air could flow freely and efficiently from the unit into the home’s distribution network. This replacement directly contributes to:

• Improved Airflow: Restoring the designed volume of air movement.
• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Reducing the strain on the blower motor.
• Consistent Cooling/Heating: Delivering comfortable temperatures uniformly across the serviced zone.

💧 Secondary Drain Line Rerouting and Float Switch Installation

To significantly upgrade the water safety and damage prevention capabilities of the HVAC system, two specialized procedures were executed: the installation of a secondary float switch and the rerouting of the secondary drain lines.

1. Secondary Float Switch Installation: A float switch is a critical safety device designed to detect when the primary condensate drain line becomes clogged or fails, causing water to back up. By installing a secondary float switch on the overflow pan or secondary drain line, we added a layer of protection. If water reaches this switch, it automatically shuts off the entire AC unit, preventing hundreds of gallons of water from leaking into the ceiling or walls.
2. Secondary Drain Line Rerouting: The secondary drain lines were carefully re-routed to ensure proper pitch and drainage capacity. Improperly sloped or routed secondary lines can hold standing water, leading to potential overflows and water damage. This correction guarantees that any overflow water is directed safely away from the unit and the structure, often to a noticeable location (like an external pipe or window) to alert the homeowner of a primary drainage issue.

✅ Job Completion Summary

The job is now completed, resulting in a safer and more efficient HVAC system repair in River Oaks, Houston. The replacement of the two duct sections optimizes system performance, while the installation of the secondary float switch and the rerouting of the secondary drain lines provide essential protection against potential water damage. The unit is now operating within established safety and efficiency parameters.
