Why Air-con Have Water Leaking Problem?

Your air-con having water leaking problem? An air-conditioner can be very commonly seen anywhere. Whether at your home or at your office, everyone has used it. For those who are using it since years, they are aware of most of its functionalities and working. The most common and undesirable problem is the leaking of water from air-con unit. After using your AC for a while, you may discover water drops dripping from it and collected on the ground. Some reasons why your air-con leaks water are given below: 

Too cold temperature: 
The most common reason behind leaking air-cons is because of the temperature getting too low. The evaporator coil inside the unit condensed the air to form water droplets. Usually the condensed water is driven out of your house through a drain pipe that connects to the drain pan at the bottom of coil. However, if normal or atmospheric air enters inside your air-con, it meets the cooler and dry air and hence condenses. If the water leaks from the front of your air-con, check whether the drops are dripping from its body. Call professional mechanics for assistance and let them solve the issue. This will prevent the problem to appear further in near time. 

Clogged drain holes:
Sometimes if your air-con is leaking water around the furnace area, there are chances that the drain hole is blocked which in turn block the internal drains. Thus make it a habit to clean the drains on regular basis to avoid any leaking. But usually it is difficult for us to look after the internal drain system because we are not habituated to work with components inside the machine. You will need professionals for this service because they have the right knowledge and equipment to deal with the air-con.

Restricted air flow: 
The air conditioner may develop a dirty filter with time. Due to dust and other particles from the air, the filter might get blocked and do not function properly. Thus the evaporator coil condenses the water and also freezes to form ice layer. Water then drips continuously from this layer over the pan and outside the air-con. You are therefore advised to change your AC filter at least once in a period of six months. Keep in mind that the filter would be blocked early if the area contains too must dust or when your house in undergoing renovation. 

Wear and tear of installation:
Your air-conditioner is usually insulated at the back of it, where the machine is attached to the wall. This insulation soaks the produced condensation which develops on pipes at the back of the air-con. However when the installation is damaged and torn, it is not efficient to soak condensation anymore. Thus starts to leak the back of the machine. So whenever you face such a problem, check whether your air-con insulation is in a good condition and if not, hire a repair specialist to replace it.
