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 the water toward the condensate drain line. Although it may seem like a simple component, it plays an important role in protecting your system and home.
✔ Collects condensation from the evaporator coil
✔ Helps direct water into the drain line
✔ Reduces the risk of ceiling and property damage
✔ Helps prevent water from reaching electrical components
✔ Supports proper moisture removal
✔ Protects the area surrounding your indoor unit
⚠️ A rusted, cracked, damaged, incorrectly sized, or improperly installed drain pan can allow water to overflow or leak into your home.
Common warning signs include:
• Water around the indoor unit
• Ceiling stains or water damage
• Rust or corrosion on the pan
• Musty odors near the system
• Standing water in the emergency pan
• Frequent activation of the float switch
Regular A/C inspections can identify drainage problems before they cause expensive damage. The pan, drain line, and float switch should all be properly installed and working together.
Protect your A/C system and your home with a properly functioning drain pan.
