Anyone suggest an A/C company the want rip you off. Thanks
Good luck with finding an honest ac guy.
But, check that the trap is primed. If you hear bubbling, the trap needs to be primed. Block the drain and see if it will prime itself. An unprimed trap will prevent water from flowing out and overflow the evaporator pan.
Shopvac trick is great but you need to follow up with priming the trap and bleach or vinegar at least quarterly.
