model: trane twe 063p13fb

a tech came by to inspect the indoor air handler. there was a lot of
water inside because it
was "sweating" a lot. he turned on the air blower and left it running
to dry the wet stuff.

current status: air blower is on 24 hours a day, since last month.
a/c thermostat fan setting is set to "on" instead of auto.

is there a way i could turn off the air blower and let it run only 12
hours a day instead of 24? it's costing me a lot in electric bill. my
electric bill arrived and it was expensive.

can someone give me instructions?

You think maybe it's dry by now? Did the tech suggest how long to
leave the blower on?

It seems to me that your air handler is not moving enough
of air, however you need to make sure that it is draining fully,
water that accumulates in drip pan is draining and not just
laying there. You can also insulate air handler from out side
that may help you some by eliminating condensation from
walls of sheet metal if that is where you problem is.
Changing fan run time can be done but it require additional
circuitry which you may not want to pay for.
Good luck from DIDO

You need to put some Clorox down the drain(1/2 cup) should be an
opening at the top of the drain to do this and then if you have an
air compressor, seal off the opening and blast for a few seconds to
clear the line. Should fix the condensate buildup otherwise it is a
design issue.

If the sizing was correct & everything including airflow CFM & the
ductwork is right, there should not be a lot of water inside.
