How does AC leak water?
Improper draining through condensate results in water leakage, we are known to have a natural condensation process and the same phenomenon applies in the condenser of air conditioners.
AC is designed to dispose of this condensed water through an outdoor drainage system, when something goes wrong with this built-in drainage system then the water starts leaking into your home.
Reasons for faulty condensate system:
There could be numerous reasons causing a water leak in an air conditioner such as.
- The drip tray is off-center, cracked or improperly angled.
- The condensate drain is clogged as a result of particles in the air, resulting in drip tray overflow.
- If you live in a location with high humidity and hot temperature conditions, or if you use your HVAC system frequently, you may require a condensate pump to remove the surplus water.
- Ice is accumulating around the evaporator coil, causing it to melt too rapidly, an issue that might be caused by a variety of factors.
Don ‘t use your air conditioner if it’s causing a problem that could do major damage to the air conditioner and to your house too. You can clear out a clogged condensate drain on your own but it’s better let an expert technician handle the matter.
