Finding an Air Conditioning Leak
It's important to check your home's air conditioner for any signs of a leak. Leaks can be dangerous and can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning unit. Follow these steps to locate and address any potential leaks in your air conditioning system.
Instructions
- Check the inside and outside of the unit for any physical signs of a leak such as visible moisture, rust or discoloration that could indicate rust.
- If you can't find any physical signs of a leak, look at the hoses or pipes that run to the unit for any signs of moisture, texture or color.
- Inspect the exterior of your unit and check for any dirt or dirt buildup on the exterior, which can lead to a leak.
- If you can't find any signs of a leak, look at the drain pipes. A clogged or overflowing drain pipe can lead to a water leak.
- Contact a professional to inspect the unit for any other potential sources of a leak.
- Once the source of the leak is identified, take the necessary steps to fix it as soon as possible to keep your air conditioner running correctly.
