If you\u2019ve noticed water pooling around the air conditioning unit, you\u2019re correct to assume that it\u2019s not a good sign. You should never see water dripping out of the HVAC cabinet inside of your house, and not just because it can cause water damage and lead to the growth of mold and mildew. That water shows something is wrong with how the air conditioner\u2019s condensate drainage system is working. If you don\u2019t have proper air conditioning repair in Brockport, NY<\/a>, you may soon have a non-working air conditioner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below we\u2019ll look at several of the reasons for water leaking from an air conditioning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Condensate Drainage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before going further, we need to explain the condensate drainage system of your air conditioning system, since malfunctions with it are responsible for most cases of water leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your AC runs and cools down your house, it also draws moisture vapor from the air it conditions. The AC evaporates cold refrigerant inside the indoor refrigerant coil, which absorbs heat but also causes water vapor in the air to condense into moisture along the coil. This moisture needs to go somewhere: it drips from the coil and falls into a pan placed below the coil assembly. The water from this condensate pan gets pumped down a drain by a condensate pump and then exits the house to drip onto the ground outside. You\u2019ll know this process is working when you occasionally hear water dripping inside the AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to look at how this drainage system can go wrong and leak water from the AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
