Question:
The grass around our home air conditioning unit is soaking wet. What could the problem be?
We have almost been in our brand new house for a year and we just noticed the grass around the air conditioning unit is all wet. It looks like the water is coming out of the condensation line but it seems like an awful lot of water. It also seems to be leaking where the hoses are hooked up to the house. Is this normal? What could be the cause of this? It is really hot where we live so the air conditioning runs pretty much all the time. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Answer:
1) Air humidity (if in the shade), 2) condensation, 3) AC being overworked - - shut off & give rest before turning back on - - 'freezing up' = usually on window ACs, 4) AC not level & water drainage in spurts when it has no choice but overflow = usually on window ACs but being level is important for central air units also, 5) need to reseal around 'hoses' or replace leaking 'hoses'. 6) If all else fails call expert.
