Walking past your heater and noticing a huge puddle growing underneath is always a cause for concern. Depending on the reason for your leaking heater, you may need to repair it immediately before it stops working altogether. These are the most common causes for a leaking heater.

Broken Water Connections

One of the easiest fixes is a heater that is leaking because the lines that usually funnel water away from your heater may be leaking. In these cases, just replacing the line or tightening connections may be enough to repair the issue.

Clogged Condensate Lines

Another reason you may need to talk to 4 Seasons Heating & Air about our heater repairs in Alpharetta is a clog in your condensate line. This line usually drains away moisture from condensation, but it can get clogged from mildew, mold, or other debris. When this happens, condensation backs up until it overflows and causes a leak.

Air Conditioning Leaks

In many homes, the air conditioner drain lines are connected to or near the furnace. Therefore, it is common for people to assume the furnace is the problem when the issue is really with the air conditioner. There are all sorts of air conditioner problems, like broken drain lines or iced-up coils, that can cause leaks, and some of these may not become apparent until you shut the AC off and start running your heater.

A Broken Humidifier

If you have a whole-house humidifier connected to your furnace, it may be the source of the problem. There are a variety of humidifier problems, including improper connections and leaking pipes or tanks, that can make water run down through your furnace.
