On a normal day, you are enjoying the convenience of your air conditioning unit when a drop of water comes down uninvited. Your air conditioner is leaking not because it’s chilly, but because there’s something wrong.
Water leaking from air conditioning units is one of the most common problems of homeowners. If left unsolved, it can damage the entire air conditioning unit. It would cost you thousands of dollars in repairs. It would also damage your house. There are few causes that contribute to water leakage. Luckily, there are ways to solve these problems.
One of the basic causes of water leakage is a freezing temperature. When it’s hot and humid outside, your AC unit is likely on full blast. However, turning the thermostat to freezing temperatures can contribute to water leakage. Avoid turning the thermostat to extreme temperatures. It can cause the air conditioning unit to degenerate a little earlier than expected.
Dirty air conditioning filters can also contribute to water leakage. Dirty filters disrupt air flow, leading to a temperature drop. While the temperature drop is a good sign on a scorching summer, it should not be enjoyed. This is because the coil will eventually start freezing. Once the air conditioning unit is turned off, the accumulated ice from the coil will melt. The drip tray can only accommodate a certain volume, thus leading to water leakage. Solution? Clean the filters. This requires manual work that can be done by anyone in the home.
A clogged drain line happens when larger air particulates such as pollen, mold, and debris accumulates. This delays the water from flowing out of the air conditioning unit. To clean the drain line, do the following:
There are other problems that can contribute to a leaking AC unit like broken pumps, improper installation, and poor maintenance. Now, these do not need manual work. They need professional work. To solve this, call the nearest air conditioner cleaning and repair servicer for help.
