Persistent moisture on HVAC air filters
🏠 homeproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A homeowner reports that their vertical AC units, which functioned correctly for years, have begun dripping water onto the air filters, and they are unable to get a consistent diagnosis or effective long-term repair from professional HVAC technicians.
What people do today
- Cleaning the units
- Installing UV lights to kill organic growth
- Increasing blower speed
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A diagnostic checklist app for homeowners to document specific HVAC symptoms and maintenance history to provide to technicians.
- A marketplace platform connecting homeowners with specialized HVAC consultants who provide independent, non-sales-driven root cause analysis.
- A community-sourced database of common HVAC failure modes for specific unit models to help owners identify if their issue is a known design flaw.
