We have years of experience working on all different types and brand of systems. We’ll be able to get your AC back up and working again fast. Here are a few common causes of air conditioning water leaks.
Condensate Drain
Your air conditioning provides cooling to your home by circulating refrigerant through a series of coils. The coils become cool and your AC’s fan blows warm air from your house over the coils. Warm air is able to hold more moisture than cool air. As the air cools on the coils, much of that moisture gets deposited on the coils in the form of condensation. If you’ve ever taken a cold glass outside on a hot day then you’ve witnessed the same thing when droplets of water gather on the outside of the glass.
This condensation has to go somewhere. Under normal circumstances, the condensation drips into a pan and drains away. However, if the drain or the pan gets clogged it can cause big problems. The Cincinnati AC repair professionals at GC Home Services can fix any issue that you might be having. Condensate drain clogs are the most common cause of air conditioning water leaks.
Benefits of Air Conditioning Maintenance
