By removing warmth and additional humidity from the air, the air conditioner keeps your residence cool. Within your furnace or air handler, the AC extracts humidity from the air, it makes condensate, or water. Into your home’s drain system, this water is normally drained through piping. A malfunction or sludge buildup may cause the piping to become blocked, unfortunately. Moisture backs up in the drain pan inside when this occurs. This backup can then spill into your home. Today, we at Agape Air Conditioning, Heating, & Plumbing would like to discuss the common causes of air conditioning leaks.
Clogged AC Condensate Drain
Water vapor forms on the chilled metal surface when hot air moves over the evaporator coil. This liquid drains down the condensate line and into a pan beneath it, ultimately. The condensate goes away before the pan overflows as the cooling cycle continues. A full drain is created by fungus mineral deposits, dirt and other debris. Condensate is prevented from draining properly. Professional assistance can ensure the drains are properly cleaned.
AC Condensate Pump Does Not Run
To properly get rid of the water, some air conditioners have a condensate pump. If the condensate pump is inoperable, water may accrue in the pan and seep out even if the drain isn’t clogged. Ensure the pump is getting power. You should call an air conditioning contractor if this is a concern.
Dirty or Broken AC Evaporator Coil
Water could be splashing off the evaporator coil instead of going down the condensate line if you see little drips in lieu of a substantial puddle around your air conditioner. If holes in the insulation surrounding the coils redirect the water or should the coils be grubby, can cause these issues. To keep up with annual air conditioning maintenance is smartest method to prevent the evaporator coil from going downhill.
Frost On Evaporator Coil
Potentially developing on the indoor coils, is a coating of crystals that splashes onto the floor as it thaws. Turn off your air conditioner right away to prevent frying the compressor should you come across this. Due to reduced airflow, the evaporator coil can freeze. Install a new filter before it becomes full to stop this. The refrigerant is possibly low or additional work is required if that doesn’t solve the trouble. To measure the charge and mend any leaks, you will need the help of a skilled, licensed HVAC system professional.
