Water is leaking from my Air Conditioner (AC) coil

Every year we receive calls from frantic homeowners stating that there is water leaking from the air conditioner coil on top of the furnace. Since your home’s central air conditioner does not use water to cool the home, where does this water come from? And why is it leaking?

Where does the water on my AC coil come from?

When a salesman says “this will cost you a lot, but if you sign right now, we’ll give you 10-15% off”, you are dealing with a sales-first company.

This tactic backs you into a corner and pressures you into making a quick decision. They are afraid of you getting a second opinion, especially from a reputable repair-first HVAC company like Basset Heating.

If you hear this, simply say I’d like to get a second opinion on your HVAC repair or replacement estimate and give us a call. An honest company on your side will encourage second opinions. A dishonest company will dissuade you from doing so.

If you see water leaking out from your indoor AC coil, it is very important to have this repaired immediately. Not only can the leaking water cause damage to the home’s floor, carpet,  etc , but water leaking into the furnace can result in damaged components and expensive repairs. Turn off your AC unit immediately if you notice a leak from the coil, and contact us to have the problem corrected.

Do you have water around your furnace or AC coil?

In most cases, this is just an easily-corrected minor problem. But if left alone, it can result in expensive repairs.

Schedule an appointment for a no-obligation estimate to see if your unit needs repair and how much that will be. We are a repair-first company and want to help you keep your system running as long as possible.
