A leaking air conditioning unit can be more than just a nuisance - it’s often a warning sign that something isn’t right with your system. If you notice water pooling around your AC, it’s important to act quickly to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
One common reason for AC leaks is a clogged condensate drain line. As your unit removes humidity from the air, the moisture is meant to drain away. If the line becomes blocked with dirt, mold, or debris, the water has nowhere to go and starts leaking into your home.
Another culprit could be a dirty or frozen evaporator coil. When airflow is restricted, the coil can freeze over. Once it melts, it may overflow the drain pan and cause water leakage. Low refrigerant levels can also trigger coil freezing, further complicating the issue.
Sometimes, a leak stems from a damaged or rusted drain pan, which can no longer collect water efficiently. In older units, this is a common issue and usually indicates it's time for a replacement.
Regardless of the cause, a leaking AC unit shouldn’t be ignored. It can damage floors, walls, and ceilings - and even lead to mold growth. The professional and highly skilled team from A Plus Quality is here to diagnose the problem quickly and get your system back in top shape.
