If you’ve noticed water pooling around your air conditioner, you’re not alone! AC leaks are one of the most common concerns for Rhode Island homeowners each summer. While a small amount of condensation is normal, visible leaks can signal a problem. Here’s what you need to know about why your AC is leaking water, how to address it, and how CARJON’s expert team can help keep your home comfortable and protected.
Common Causes of AC Leaks
There are several reasons why your AC might be leaking water—some are simple fixes, while others require professional attention. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced HVAC technician, like the team at CARJON, diagnose and resolve the issue. Common causes include:

Dirty Air Filter
Damaged Drain Pan
