How Do I Drill A Hole To Drain Water From My Window AC Unit?
Air conditioners express water as part of the air cooling process. Window mounted air conditioning units also express water. If your unit isn’t properly installed then the water may flood forward and down your walls, onto your floors and carpets. To fix this problem, make sure that your air conditioning unit tilts down at the back (outside) of the unit. This simple installation requirement will make the water run backward and out the drainage hole in the pan of the unit. Properly install your air conditioning unit by making certain that the unit tilts down at the back (outside) of the unit. Make sure that the area around the unit is well insulated so that warm air isn’t intruding along the tops and sides of the unit as this can also cause water to condense on the front of the unit, which can blow water into the room. Clean the drainage holes in the pan once or twice each season as they may rust or become filled with dirt and debris. Unplug and remove the unit. Set it on a flat surface
