Why my Air Conditioner Leaks Water.

The reasons why your air conditioner leaks water, and the solution.

Key Takeaways:

• Reasons why your air conditioner leaks water can include clogged drainage, dirty air filters, and a leaking refrigerant.

• If you have any of these problems, contact Cold Sense immediately.

A leaking air conditioner is not normal and can occur for a variety of reasons. A primary reason is due to clogged drainage, where the pipe could be blocked by either dirt, dust, or fungus. Hence, the water will try to find another way out, causing the air conditioner to leak. If left untreated, mould and other funguses may populate the air, along with the moisture decaying the air conditioning cavity.

Another reason for a leaking air conditioner is dirty air filters. Similar to the blocked drainage, a dirty air filter clogs the airflow; stopping the air from reaching the evaporator coil.

If your air conditioner does not have these problems but is still leaking, then it might be because of a faulty refrigerant - the substance that converts hot air into cold air. A leaky refrigerant can be extremely dangerous as exposure to the leaks can be poisonous. If you think this might be the case, contact Cold Sense immediately.
