A/C DRAIN PAN — YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST WATER DAMAGE
A/C DRAIN PAN — YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST WATER DAMAGE
As your A/C removes heat and humidity from the air, condensation forms around the evaporator coil. The drain pan collects this water and helps guide it safely into the condensate drain line.
✔ Collects condensation from the evaporator coil
✔ Helps prevent water from reaching your ceiling
✔ Protects areas surrounding the indoor unit
✔ Helps keep moisture away from electrical components
✔ Supports proper condensate drainage
✔ Reduces the risk of costly property damage
⚠️ A cracked, rusted, bent, incorrectly sized, or improperly tilted drain pan may allow water to overflow or leak into your home.
Warning signs of a drain-pan problem include:
• Water around the indoor unit
• Ceiling stains or moisture damage
• Rust or corrosion on the pan
• Standing water in the emergency pan
• Musty odors near the equipment
• Frequent float-switch activation
The drain pan, drain line, and float switch must be correctly installed and maintained to provide effective water protection.
A properly functioning drain pan helps protect both your A/C system and your home.
