of Leaking Air Conditioners
There are many reasons why your aircon system may be leaking or dripping. Some of the common causes that we come across include the following:
This is a common cause of aircons leaking and dripping water. This happens when the air doesn't pass through the vent, affecting the unit’s performance. If you notice air leakage through the grates around the vent, you should call us.
When the air filter gets dirty or clogged, the evaporator will get obstructed. This causes a drop in temperature, thus freezing the coil. When you turn on the system, the increase in temperature will cause melting and the drip tray will get overfilled. A blocked filter will also cause a similar problem.

Some of the other common causes of air conditioning leaks include drain line clogging, improper system installation, improper maintenance, drain pan rusting, frozen coils, and clogged condensation line.
The type of leak will dictate what the issue may be.
For internal leaks the drain may be clogged causing moisture and liquid to seap through. We recommend turning off the unit completely to avoid any further damage. If the leak is originating from a faulting pump or rust you will need a replacement in order for the unit to work properly.
For leaks that occur on the outside of the unit you may notice a build up of water under the condenser unit. This is not a huge problem however if not addressed could cause a malfunction as time goes on. To save yourself any heartache it is always best to have a certified technician take a look.
