An air conditioner is an essential appliance in homes and businesses in Australia.
Your air-conditioning system has to run most of the year and it is important to ensure it works at its optimal levels. All aircons are going to age over time and develop minor or major snags. Regular usage, lack of periodic maintenance, and weather elements can all cause a malfunction. Leakage and dripping water are among the most common problems affecting air conditioners.
If you notice any signs of leaks, it is important to immediately contact ACG Air Conditioning. Leaks should be repaired in time to prevent complicated and expensive damages.
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.
If your air conditioner is leaking inside, the drain may have been clogged up. We recommend that you should turn off the unit to prevent any risk of permanent damage. If the problem is caused by a faulty condensate pump or a rusty drain pan, you should call us.
When an air conditioning unit leaks outside, you may notice water pooling under the condenser unit. If this happens on a very cold, humid, or hot day, it may not be an issue at all. However, if it happens during normal conditions, it may be caused by:
We will clean or replace the broken components to fix the issue.
