An air conditioning unit produces water during the cooling process, typically funneling through a drainage system to prevent buildup. However, when something goes wrong in that system, leaks can occur. There are several reasons why your AC might leak water, and understanding the cause is the first step to resolving the issue.
The condensate drain line carries the water your AC produces to the outside of your home. Over time, dirt, dust, mold, and other debris can clog this line, preventing water from draining properly. When this happens, water will back up and leak from your unit, often pooling around the base.
The evaporator coil is one of the most crucial parts of your AC system. It absorbs heat from the air in your home, and if it becomes too cold due to issues like low refrigerant levels, poor airflow, or a dirty air filter, it can freeze. When the ice melts, it can overwhelm the condensate drain, leading to water leakage.
Low refrigerant levels can cause the evaporator coil to freeze, as mentioned earlier. Without enough refrigerant, your system can’t absorb heat properly, leading to frozen coils and, eventually, water leaks. If you notice your AC is not cooling as effectively as it used to, low refrigerant could be the issue.
The air filter in your AC helps keep the system clean and ensures proper airflow. When the filter gets clogged with dust, dirt, and debris, it restricts airflow to the evaporator coil. This can cause the coil to freeze, leading to water buildup and leaks once the ice melts. It’s essential to replace your air filter regularly to avoid
this issue.
The drain pan catches excess water that doesn’t make it through the condensate drain line. If the pan is cracked or damaged, it may be unable to hold the water properly, leading to leaks. Similarly, if the pump that helps push water out of the system is malfunctioning, water will have nowhere to go but back into your home.
If your AC unit is not installed correctly or has not been maintained regularly, it may be more prone to water leaks. Faulty installation can lead to issues like incorrect drainage, poor insulation, or refrigerant problems. Regular maintenance by a professional service provider can prevent many of these problems from occurring.
A leaky AC is more than an inconvenience—it’s your home’s way of calling for help. Trust our team at American Air & Plumbing to diagnose the issue, fix it with precision, and protect your comfort long-term. Book your service now before the next drip hits the floor.
Ignoring a leaking AC unit can lead to significant damage, not just to the system but also to your home. Here are some risks you should consider:
When an AC leaks water, it can damage walls, ceilings, and flooring. Excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, which can be hazardous to your health and costly to repair. The longer the issue persists, the greater the risk of serious damage.
A leaking AC unit often works harder than it needs to, trying to compensate for the lost cooling power. This can cause your system to run inefficiently, leading to higher energy bills. Additionally, a malfunctioning system is more likely to break down completely, leaving you without AC during the hottest months of the year.
The longer you wait to address an AC leak, the more likely the damage will spread. Simple issues like a clogged drain line or dirty filter can turn into more expensive repairs if left unchecked. By acting quickly, you can avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your air conditioning system.
Water and electricity don’t mix well. If water from a leaking AC comes into contact with electrical components of your unit, it could cause a short circuit, leading to dangerous electrical issues or a complete breakdown of your system.
