WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER FLOODS YOUR HOME

Every now and then, we do receive calls from traumatized AC owners whose homes have been flooded by their AC. So don’t think they are just mere stories; some AC owners actually got their homes flooded by their precious AC.

If you wake up one morning in the middle summer, and you discover that your home is flooded, the first thing you should do is to inspect your unit. Inspect your AC to ascertain whether your air conditioner is responsible for the flooding or not.

Now if it is the AC that is responsible for the flooding, you need no soothsayer to tell you that you already have a case of AC leaking on your hands. But please do not panic or despair should you ever find your self in such an awkward situation. Rather you need to spring into action immediately and see how you can remedy the situation.

So in this article, we are going to share a few things with you, which you need to do anytime your AC floods your home.

Check For AC Leak

Something must have made you AC to flood your home; and that might be as a result of AC leak. So the first thing you should do in such a situation is to check your air conditioner for any leakage. But if you are not tech savvy enough, please kindly call in an expert to check your system for leakage. Of course if you are hiring a professional, the professional knows what to do, if there is any leakage in the unit.

Inspect Drain Line

This is another very important thing to do, should your AC ever flood your home. If there is any obstacle in the drain line, it can prevent the drain line from passing out water from your unit. It is this water that now flows back into your unit and makes it to flood your home. So ensure that the drain hole of your AC is free and clean at all times, so that you don’t end up with a flooded home.

AC Repair

It might also be that something is not right inside your AC, and that could be the reason it is flooding your home. Now if you have been able to ascertain that the flooding is not as a result of AC leak or a clogged drain line, then it is about time you call in a professional to check the AC, and repair any fault that is making the air conditioner to flood your home.
