Air Conditioners Can Cause Water Damage...HOW TO AVOID

6/9/2021 (Permalink)

You can avoid your air conditioner leaking water.

It’s that time of year again, temperatures rise, we shut the windows and turn on our air conditioners. Did you know that air conditioners can cause water damage?

Your HVAC may need some maintenance if you notice leaking or lingering smells. Water damage of any kind can create mold or a build-up of mold.

A few ways to help prevent water damage from your air conditioner:

Change your filter: that should be changed once a month

Keep it clean: they can collect dirt or leaves random objects. If not clean it won’t work properly, because it needs airflow to work properly

Keep Drain Line clear: make sure the water is flowing to the drain. Check lines, make sure drainage holes are clear

Install a pump: A condensation pump; will help extra water flow to drain.

No one wants to deal with water damage, and it can be annoying but more so costly if not taken care of properly.
