Is it necessary to install drain hose or basin for a window-type or split-type unit?
Usually, a new unit does not have the problem of leakage when the heat is dispersed properly with its auto-evaporating system. But if the humidity is very high or the heat-dispersed unit is clogged with too much dust (thus inhibiting the effectiveness of the auto-evaporation), and there is trash in the base pan after the longtime usage of the air conditioner, there may have leaking. Therefore, it is recommended to install a basin as a precaution. WINDOW TYPE UNIT My unit does not leak. Is that normal? Yes, the window-type unit is designed with evaporating function. With the help of the fans to blow the water on the chassis over the condenser (hot coil), the water is heated up and evaporates in the air. This makes the air conditioner lower its temperature, empower its cooling capacity, save power, and minimize the leakage. Does a new unit leak? No, a new unit does not leak if it is properly installed and the heat is properly dispersed. However, in very humid weather, excessive condensat
