AC Drain Pan Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, FL
The drain pan sits directly under your evaporator coil and catches condensate before it flows out through the drain line. When that pan cracks, rusts through, or warps, water bypasses the drain entirely and ends up on your ceiling, floor, or inside your walls. Replacing it stops the leak at the source. This is a more involved job than it sounds — the pan is often tucked tight against the coil and air handler cabinet.

How It Works
Our Process for AC Drain Pan Replacement
- 1
Access and Inspection
We open the air handler cabinet and inspect the existing pan for cracks, rust, and fit before ordering any parts.
- 2
System Shutdown
We shut down the system and dry out the old pan completely so we're working in a clean, dry space.
- 3
Pan Removal and Replacement
We remove the damaged pan, install the correct replacement, and reseat it properly under the coil.
- 4
Drain Line Check
We flush and confirm the drain line is clear before restarting the system and checking for any leaks.
Fort Lauderdale Context
Why this matters in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale's heat means AC systems run most of the year, producing condensate nearly constantly. That continuous moisture exposure corrodes drain pans faster here than in cooler climates — replacement is a common repair, not an unusual one.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Pan availability varies by unit age and manufacturer. Older or discontinued units sometimes require fabricating a custom pan, which adds time and cost. We tell you upfront if that's the situation.
