A/C DRAIN PAN — PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM WATER DAMAGE
A/C DRAIN PAN — PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM WATER DAMAGE
Your A/C drain pan collects condensation produced by the evaporator coil and directs it into the drain line. Although it may seem simple, it plays an important role in protecting your home.
✔ Collects moisture from the cooling process
✔ Directs water toward the drain line
✔ Helps prevent leaks around the indoor unit
✔ Reduces the risk of ceiling and property damage
✔ Works with the float switch for added protection
✔ Supports safe and reliable operation
⚠️ A cracked, rusted, incorrectly sized, or improperly tilted drain pan may allow water to overflow or leak into your home.
Common warning signs include:
• Water around the indoor unit
• Water collecting in the emergency pan
• Rust, cracks, or corrosion
• Ceiling stains or moisture
• Musty odors near the equipment
• A/C shutting off because of the float switch
The drain pan and drain line should be inspected and cleaned regularly. If water is present, the cause should be identified before damage occurs.
