Why Is Your Air Conditioner Leaking? (And How to Fix It!)
A little condensation from your AC? No worries, that’s normal. But if your unit is constantly leaking and forming puddles, it’s time to investigate. Here are the top reasons—and what to do about them!
1. Clogged Drain Line
Dirt and debris can block the drain line, preventing water from flowing out properly. Try vacuuming it out, but if the pipe is damaged, call a pro for a replacement.
2. Dirty Air Filters
When filters get clogged, airflow drops, causing ice buildup on the evaporator coil. When that ice melts—drip, drip, drip! Regularly clean or replace your filters to prevent this.
3. Faulty Water Pump
If your AC relies on a pump to remove excess water and it fails, leaks are inevitable. A technician can check and replace it if needed.
4. Poor Installation
A badly installed unit can lead to all sorts of leaks. If your AC has been dripping since day one, it might be time for a professional assessment.
Final Thoughts
A leaking AC isn’t just annoying—it can damage your home and your unit. If you’re dealing with persistent leaks, don’t wait.
