Is there such a thing as a dripless window unit air conditioner?

KMS Woodworks on Jul 10, 2012Ac units as part of the cooling also remove humidity...like a dedicated De-humidifer. The condensate is a by product of this. you can plumb it to a safe location or catch it...keep in mind that catching it will pose its own problems ( volume, mosquito farm, weight etc)1 marked as helpful Reply

Walter Reeves on Jul 10, 2012Air conditioners have to get rid of condensate water somehow. They inevitably produce water as humid air goes over the cold coils. Perhaps you could use a small condensate pump like larger units use to move condensate to a better spot.1 marked as helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jul 11, 2012Some units use the condensate to help cool the system. These tend to drip less then the lower efficiency units. But when humidity is high in the home more water is produced then can be evaporated by the outside fan part. This causes the water to drip. However, some of the better units, and your not going to find them at your local big box stores, do have a method of connecting a drain pipe that can be routed to a less offending spot. A drain pan can be constructed to catch the water then a pipe can be run to a less offending area. But that would need to be determined based on exactly how your unit is installed and the surrounding area.1 marked as helpful Reply

Jay Taylor on Aug 13, 2014Waterleaks are a serious issue in the summer when your A/C’s on all the time. If yousee water coming from the emergency drain pipe. You will shut off theair conditioner first and then get a technician in as soon as possible. Nice share.1 marked as helpful Reply
