Why Your Furnace Could Be Leaking
Finding water surrounding your furnace is a homeowner’s worst dream. Is it a heating and cooling malfunction or plumbing issue? It’s hard to say for sure, but Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts is here with some HVAC issues that could result in a leaky furnace.
Condensation
A standard-efficiency heating system should not give off condensation so if your system does, it might be that the flue pipe was not sized right. The warm exhaust could be cooling and condensing within the pipe, then draining back into your furnace and leaking out.
Clogged Drain
The condensation from a high-efficiency furnace usually flows out to a floor drain. If there is a clog in the piping or the floor drain, it could result in a leak around your heating system. A heating tune-up from a furnace repair expert should help avert this problem from taking place. Unfortunately, neglecting furnace maintenance may cause a clogged drain, resulting in floor, ceiling, or other damage to your home.
Humidifier
This problem should be found with regular HVAC system tune-ups, but if your furnace is leaking water, the humidifier might be leaking inside the heating equipment. Water leaking into your heating system can cause major damage to the internal elements so it’s ideal to call your furnace service expert right away if you think this may be your issue.
