Your air conditioner is supposed to keep you cool, not flood your home. If you're noticing water leaking from your AC unit, there are a few common causes.

• Understanding Your Air Conditioner System

• Air conditioners remove warm air and humidity,
  replacing it with cooler air.
• Refrigerant undergoes a conversion process from
  gas to liquid and back to gas.
• The compressor raises the temperature and
  pressure of the gas before it becomes a liquid in
  the condenser coil.
• The evaporator receives the liquid refrigerant,
  which evaporates and cools the coil.
• The cooled air is distributed throughout the home
  while the heated evaporator gas is released
  outside.
• This cycle repeats during the AC unit's operation.

• Problems Caused by a Leaking Air Conditioner

• Leaking AC units can cause irreparable damage to
  the air conditioner, property, and pose health
  risks if left unaddressed.
• Regularly scheduled AC maintenance helps prevent
  issues like water leaks. Look out for the
  following signs that indicate immediate repair or
  replacement is needed.
• Clogged Condensate Drain Line Grime blocking the
  drain line can lead to water pooling and leaking
  throughout the unit, potentially causing interior
  damage.
• Dirty Air Filter Dirty filters decrease airflow,
  making the AC work harder and potentially causing
  the evaporator coil to freeze and melt, resulting
  in a water leak.
• Low Refrigerant Levels Insufficient refrigerant
  levels can harm the air conditioner, risk
  releasing poisonous gas into the air, reduce
  pressure in the unit, and cause freezing of the
  evaporator coils.
• Damaged Overflow Pan A cracked or damaged drain
  overflow pan is a common cause of water leaks,
  hindering proper outflow through the hose.
