AIr conditioners are designed to cool your home, not expel water. So if water is dropping from your air conditioner it certainly indicates a problem that needs the attention of an HVAC professional. In today’s post, the HVAC contractors at Perfect Degree HVAC takes a look at why water can come from an air conditioner.
Air conditioners, regardless of type, are equipped with an air handler. Part of its function is to collect moisture from the air indoors and expel it through a drain line. Outdoors, the moisture is collected in a drip pan, which may need to be emptied occasionally or drained towards the drains. Under normal working conditions, you wouldn’t even have to worry about this part of the cooling cycle.
Even if your air conditioning is expelling just droplets, it’s not meant to do that, and therefore shouldn’t be ignored. The first thing you need to do is turn it off and call an HVAC technician, as it may be caused by one or more of the following.
