Question for the ac guys

[biggamefish]

 I have a attic unit with two pans to catch the water. Long story short the drain plug clogged and we had an over flow!  Fun times. I want to put in a kill switch in case this happen again. What is the actual cost of the switch and is it something that is easy to put in?

The way the weather is going this year you will never get a chance to use the AC . Winter will be here soon looks like .

The easiest solution would be to locate the drain location, buy a piece of hose the correct diameter and route it outside through a window or other outlet. You are not going to want to be running up in the attic and emptying the pans for the next few days when they are working overtime.

Make a larger drain its just condensation, you could have an overflow drain also.

I already have a drain that runs outside. It seemed that the drain got air locked or plugged some how. I went up there and stuck a snake down and everything drained fine. It hasn't had a problem since. The bottom pan also has a drain to the outside but the ac unit sticks over on one side so if the inside pan fills up it runs down the body to that corner and drips down into the ceiling (not good). That is the reason I want to put a kill switch on it for the just in case it happened again.

Asking me is like having a vet preform surgery on a human. I have HVAC. experience, but on mobile only. I wouldn't think it would be to difficult thought. Where to hard wiring in. would be the question in my mind which Youtube should be able to address.
