Frequently Asked Questions
Why is water dripping from my central AC unit?
Possible causes include a clogged or disconnected condensate drain, a damaged pan, a frozen coil thawing, poor airflow, or installation problems. Shut the system off if water is near wiring or damaging the home, then arrange diagnosis.
My AC is dripping water onto my ceiling. What do I do?
Turn off the AC immediately to stop water production. Place buckets and towels to catch the drip, then call us. This typically indicates a severely clogged drain pan.
Can an AC water leak cause mold?
Yes — moisture in walls or ceilings from a slow AC drain leak creates ideal conditions for mold. Address leaks promptly.
How do I prevent AC water leaks?
Annual maintenance that includes drain line flushing is the best prevention. We include this in every maintenance visit.
