Trane a.c. evaporator leaking.

Posted by Ivan & Brenda on August 17, 2007, 6:46 am

We have a Trane furnace and a.c. that has worked fine for the last 10 years
and still heats and cools fine but I noticed that for the last couple of
weeks when we run the a.c. that we get some water coming out around the
evaporator inside the house. It is still cooling fine but we get a puddle of
water around the base of the furnace.

The condensate pump works fine and I can't notice any visible leaks .
Anything I can check or what can I expect when repair man comes out.

Thanks Ivan

expect him to check it out thoroughly and report what he finds
nothing irritates me more than a homeowner who "already knows whats wrong "
but still needs to call me ;-)

honestly ? it sounds like a rusted out drain pan , not repairable

What do you mean " not repairable ". And which drain pipe do you mean. By
the way I am in the high end commercial electronics business and I like my
customers to be as informed as possible.

Thanks again.

Just call the man, let him do his job, then pay him when he is done. There
should be no problem with asking him questions. Consider that you *probably*
have never had the system serviced. Do you wait till your car breaks before
taking it in for service?? Probably not.
So why do you do it with the single most expensive appliance in your home???
Why do you wait until the hottest time of the year when *most* legitmate
HVAC companies are running a 5-7 day backlog for service calls??

If I were you call your HVAC company and have them check why you are leaking
water. They may be able to replace the condensation pan or they may be able
to repair or you may have to replace the evaporator coil,
