Last weekend, when my husband was mowing the grass, he noticed that the condenser component was leaking water.

When he first told me about his sighting, I thought it was impossible, but our A/C system didn’t use water.

Instead, it used refrigerant to cool the air. There was no way that water could be coming from the condenser component unless it had rained, and my husband was adamant about the leak though, and he confirmed it by showing it to me, and he also explained how even though the A/C system used refrigerant, water was still created due to the dehumidifier built into our system. However, that water shouldn’t have been leaking. Since a leaking condenser component was beyond our scope of Heating, Ventilation, and A/C know-how, my pal and I decided to hire an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business to come fix it. My friend and I have a great neighbor who’s been an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business for over twenty years, so my pal and I knew we’d be in great hands. The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business came to check out the leak right away and he provided us a easy explanation for it. The condenser component has a small drain that helps transport the water to its designated spot, however that drain was rusted on our system. The rust was so severe, there were holes starting to form, which was creating the leaks; A rusted pipedrain sounded like a big deal, however our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business assured us that it was a easy and inexpensive fix. Thankfully, he was right. The drain was fixed before the end of the day.
