Cold air Blowing in Attic from Condensate Overflow?

6 years ago

I was looking for leaks in the attic due to sub-par performance, noticed quite a strong cold air flow from the condensate overflow pipe - it's just got an elbow and short stub pointing down into the emergency pan. I don't remember ever seeing air coming out like this before. Is this normal?


Obviously I need overflow in case the main line clogs, right? If this is normal, can I at least reduce the area of this pipe by drilling out a ~3/16" hole in a cap?


I found a diagram for reference: http://www.summerville-home-inspector.com/system/files/userfiles/lennox%20condensate%20drain%20reccomendations.jpg
