The New Castle County HVAC Company With Answers

So you’ve got a little puddle of water under your furnace. You clean it up and move along, but the next day the water has returned. You aren’t a mechanic, but you have a feeling that furnaces and leaks don’t mix. Well, you’re right – so here are a few possible reasons from your favorite New Castle County HVAC company why your furnace could be acting up:

Furnace Condensation: A high-efficiency gas furnace has condensation that is channeled to a floor drain, so if it’s starting to puddle at the floor the drain could be clogged. A standard efficiency furnace, however, should not condensate. Condensation could mean the furnace’s flue pipe wasn’t sized right, so cooling exhaust heat is producing condensation and leaking out.

Faulty Furnace Secondary Heat Exchanger: The secondary heat exchanger could be causing water to pool up around your furnace. Get it checked out immediately because this could be an expensive fix!

Humidifier Problem: If you’re getting annual maintenance checkups, this probably isn’t the issue because a service technician would have found the problem and fixed it. If you skipped out on a check-up, however, you might have an internal leak, which can cause a lot of damage to your furnace.

Internal Drain System Clog: Your air conditioner might share an internal drain with your furnace, and if the A/C is still operating, your drain system could get plugged up, causing leakage.
