#AC #Leak #diy
Why is my HVAC leaking? How to fix HVAC? After a long sleepless night of what sounded like the dogs peeing in our house, we got up to find that our evaporator coil condensate pan was overflowing and leaking. The indoor unit has a pan to collect the condensate from the evaporator coil and there are a few reasons why this system fails and water spills out. Luckily, Aimee's dad was in HVAC for 30+ years and gave us a couple ideas to work with. We first troubleshooted for a possible clog, but soon realized that probably wasn't the issue. DIY Leaky AC fix!
Look, we are not professionals with HVAC and all our knowledge on the issue is beginner at best. This video is not a supplement for a professional evaluation. However, we figured out the issue and fixed it! Hopefully this video helps if you are in the same situation. Always consider hiring a professional for this kind of work :)

I recently did this (video on my page). Since then, I've had nightmares of clogged p-traps. Thankfully, I wakeup and remember RU-vid has my back.

Loved your video... good closeups and description. I'd only say to make it better; however, is to lower the volume of the background music... it overwhelms the talking big time! Thanks for the instruction!

Hey thank you so much for the feed back. It's funny because we have had multiple people say the same thing. On all our newer videos we've focused on making sure the audio is good and the background music is quite. Thanks again :)

Hey,I have green fluid stains right there on top of the furnace where the pvc pipes come out of the insulated unit on top. It looks like the connection,can I clean that up and get something from the building store?

Why not put over flow pipe in condensate pump too? Wanted to see a distant picture of completed task. Thank you HAGO

Using a larger drain pan along with a over flow sensor to turn off the AC unit when it detects water will help prevent water ending up on the floor. Especially if the AC unit is located on the second floor because it can cause water damage on the ceiling of the first floor and leave water marks. Just a fyi. Good video btw

This is exactly what’s happen to me right now! Not sure what happened this morning. Came down stairs and seen water leaking from the ceiling. Now I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong. Every time we turn the heater up water leaks a bit.

I have an older Heil vertical unit and the pan is rusted out and drips when the a/c is on. I'm wondering if the pan can just be replaced. The a/c and furnace work just fine, quiet, efficient, accurate. The drain line is clear. Thanks. (Btw, what's the secret to such wrinkle-free skin? Sheesh! Ah, the wonders of youth.)

Hey.. I noticed your evap coil duct section is like mine... NO ACCESS PANEL!! How about you do another video showing how to cut out the front sheet metal and reinstall a removable cover, to be able to get to the coil for cleaning and clean gunk our of the drip pan!?! I can't believe that a mechanic would encase the coil, so that it is completely inaccessible !!!

"How to Fix Leaky HVAC Unit" - This title implies there is a refrigerant leak. There's not even an actual leak in this video, it's an improper drainage setup that affects the operation of the AC unit.
