Air conditioning

Air conditioner leaks water indoors

Water leaking from the indoor unit usually appears when condensate does not drain correctly. The cause can be drain, filters, installation or temperature differences.

Possible causes

  • clogged condensate hose;
  • insufficient drain slope;
  • very dirty filters;
  • cracked or displaced condensate tray;
  • insufficient insulation on pipes.

  • visible condensate path;
  • outdoor unit and refrigerant route.

When to stop the unit

If water reaches sockets, cables, sensitive furniture or false ceiling, stop the unit and request inspection.
