Window Air Conditioning Units- Problems and Solutions

Because air conditioning units remove the moisture from the room, they can have a tendency to store up water that then might leak- window air conditioners are especially notorious for doing this. However, there are some solutions to the leaking problem.

  • Draining: When the water builds up inside the unit, it will then drain from the drain hole on the base. If this hole becomes blocked the water will build up and leak out from other areas. Unblock the hole with a small and thin piece of wood.
  • Freezing: A problem with the cooling system may cause the water to freeze and ice to form on the coil inside. If there is ice then you will need to call in a technician to service the air conditioning unit.
  • Faulty installation: For water to be properly drained away the rear of the air conditioning unit needs to be lower than the front; if it isn’t, the water will drain into the room instead.
