Water inside your home from the air conditioner signals a failure in the system. The cause is mechanical or airflow related. You need clear steps to stop damage and protect the unit in your home in Philadelphia, PA.
The most common reasons for air conditioner dripping water are listed below.
Clogged drain line
Dust blocks the drain line. Water backs up. The pan overflows.
Actions
• Turn off cooling
• Replace the filter
• Have Air Pro HVAC flush the drain line
• Request a drain trap inspection
Frozen evaporator coil
Low airflow or low refrigerant freezes the coil. Meltwater escapes the pan.
Actions
• Turn off the system
• Inspect vents for blockage
• Schedule a refrigerant and airflow check by Air Pro HVAC
Damaged drain pan
Old pans rust. New pans crack. Any weakness leads to leakage.
Improper installation
Incorrect drain angle produces slow drainage. Over time the pan spills water inside the home.
