What Causes Aircon Dripping Water?
Air conditioners can drip water due to several reasons. Here are the main causes:
Clogged Drain Line: This is the most common reason. When the condensate drain gets blocked, water backs up and starts leaking out of the unit.
Frozen Coils: If the air filter or evaporator coils are dirty, they can freeze. Once they thaw, excess water may drip out.
Low Refrigerant: A refrigerant leak can cause the evaporator coils to freeze, leading to water leakage when they thaw.
Improper Installation: If the aircon is not installed correctly, such as being mounted unevenly, it can cause water to drip.
Damaged Pump: A faulty pump may fail to expel condensate properly, which leads to water leakage.
High Humidity: In areas with high humidity, the aircon may struggle to manage the moisture, resulting in condensation issues.
To avoid these problems, regular maintenance is key, including cleaning the system and checking for leaks.
Clogged Drain line
This is the number one reason air conditioners drip water. In Singapore’s humid climate, air conditioners work hard to cool the air and remove moisture. Over time, dirt, dust, and algae can build up in the condensate drain line, causing it to clog. When this happens, the water that should flow out of the drain gets backed up and ends up dripping inside or outside the unit. Since Singapore has high humidity levels year-round, this problem is especially common, as the aircon has to remove large amounts of moisture regularly.

Scope of General Servicing for Wall-Mounted Aircon Units in Singapore
General servicing for wall-mounted fan coil units (FCUs) includes essential steps to keep your aircon running efficiently. Here’s what you can expect:
Remove and Clean Filters
First, technicians remove the air filters and wash off all accumulated dust and dirt to restore proper airflow.Clean Evaporator Coil
Next, they wash the evaporator coil thoroughly to improve cooling performance and prevent mold or bacteria buildup.Flush Drainage System
Then, they flush the drainage pipe to clear any clogs. This helps prevent water leakage, especially in Singapore’s humid climate.Vacuum or Wipe Blower Wheel
After that, they clean the blower wheel to ensure smooth air circulation and reduce strain on the fan motor.Check Refrigerant Pressure
Technicians also check the refrigerant pressure to make sure the system is cooling properly. If low, it may indicate a leak.Test Aircon Functions
Finally, they test the system—including the remote, fan speed, temperature control, and thermostat response—to confirm everything works as it should.
