Why Is Your AC Leaking Water?
Dealing with water dripping from your air conditioner? You’re not alone. AC water leakage is one of the most common problems Dubai residents face, especially during our scorching summer months when AC units work overtime. The good news is that most leaks can be fixed quickly when you know what’s causing them.
At DubaiClean, we’ve repaired thousands of leaking AC units across Dubai, and we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with water damage, stained walls, and the constant worry about your property. Let’s help you understand what’s happening and how we can fix it.
Common Causes of AC Water Leakage in Dubai
- Clogged Drain Lines: This is the number one culprit behind AC leaks in Dubai. Your air conditioner produces condensation as it cools the air, and this water needs to drain away through a pipe. Over time, dust, dirt, and algae can block this drain line, causing water to back up and overflow into your room. Dubai’s dusty environment makes this particularly common in the area.
- Frozen Evaporator Coils: When your AC’s evaporator coils freeze up and then thaw, they can produce excess water that overwhelms the drainage system. This often occurs due to restricted airflow from dirty filters or low refrigerant levels – both issues we frequently encounter in Dubai’s harsh climate.
- Damaged or Disconnected Drain Pans: The drain pan sits under your AC’s indoor unit to catch condensation. If it’s rusted, cracked, or improperly installed, water will leak straight through. Older AC units are especially prone to this problem.
- Improper Installation: Your AC needs to be installed at the correct angle for water to drain properly. If the unit isn’t level or the drainage system isn’t set up correctly, you’ll end up with leaks no matter how well the AC is maintained.
- Low Refrigerant Levels: When your AC is low on refrigerant, it can cause the evaporator coils to freeze. As we mentioned earlier, this creates excess water when the ice melts, leading to leaks and puddles.
The Risks of Ignoring AC Water Leaks
Don’t wait to fix that dripping AC. What seems like a minor annoyance today can turn into a major headache tomorrow. Water damage can ruin your walls, ceilings, and flooring – and in Dubai’s humidity, persistent moisture creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Mold doesn’t just look unsightly; it can trigger allergies and respiratory problems for your family.
Plus, a leaking AC usually means something’s wrong with the system. Ignoring it could lead to bigger, more expensive repairs down the line, or even the need for a complete unit replacement.
