Central heating unit leaking water.

One of the major ways your air conditioner works to cool your home is by pulling humidity from the air. A technician will be able to advise you on whether this needs to happen. A problem with the heat exchanger in your furnace could cause a water leak and unfortunately is one of the most expensive repairs. There is often condensation created from the units dehumidifying process but collected water and leaking is a different thing.

First you should turn off your air conditioner because this water could harm the electronic parts of your ac and cause water damage to your home. The cold evaporator coil of your indoor unit is designed to collect this condensation and drain it away. A new unit may need to be installed. If you ve looked into the other possible causes of a leak and can t find it it may be the heat exchanger.

Then you should contact a professional ac repair person for help. And like stated above a thawing unit can cause leaking water. A low refrigerant level can also cause your unit to freeze. The loud water leaking out is normal when you live in a high humidity area or if the humidity is abnormally high.

The central ac unit is doing it s job and removing the extra humidity in your home therefore you may hear or see more water coming from the condensation tube. A leaking hvac system can be indicative of a larger problem. Low refrigerant could be the sign of a refrigerant leak in your hvac unit.
