Before you call
Quick checks you can do safely
- Turn thermostat to OFF immediately — don't let it keep producing condensate
- Find the condensate drain line (white PVC exiting the exterior wall near the air handler)
- Check if water is actively draining from the outside termination
- Look at the air handler pan — is it overflowing?
- Replace the filter if it's dirty
What it usually is
