Could pooling water affect my AC noise?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, pooling water near your AC unit can indeed affect its operation and the noise it makes. In dubai, we've seen instances where water intrusion has led to issues like this. The water can seep into the electrical components or cause rust on metal parts which may not only increase noise levels but also pose a risk of malfunction.

In the UAE, especially during the rainy season, it's crucial to ensure proper drainage around all external units, including your AC unit outside your bedroom window. A small amount of water pooling could be due to poor drainage or an obstruction in the downspout. However, if this issue persists despite regular maintenance, it might indicate a more serious problem that needs immediate attention.

It’s also important to consider the impact on indoor air quality. Moisture can lead to mold growth and increased dust accumulation within your ductwork which could affect both comfort and health. Regular cleaning of ducts is recommended, but given your current situation, a professional inspection and cleaning might be necessary.

If you're experiencing these issues, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment.
