The short answer
Indoor dripping is often a blocked drain line, a dirty filter causing ice that later melts, or a poorly angled drain hose. Wipe standing water for safety, then book a technician if it continues.
Common causes
- Clogged condensate drain or dirty drain pan
- Filter so dirty that the coil ices up, then melts onto the floor
- Drain hose kinked, disconnected, or sloping the wrong way
- Unit not installed level
What you can safely check
These are low-risk checks only. Do not open live electrical panels, handle refrigerant, or dismantle fuel systems. If anything feels unsafe, stop and book a verified professional.
- Turn the AC off and dry the floor to prevent slips
- Check that the indoor filter is not heavily clogged
- Look under the indoor unit for a disconnected or kinked drain hose — do not force fittings
- If you see ice on the unit, leave it off to thaw fully before trying again
When to call a professional
- Water near electrical sockets or the power plug
- Repeated leaking after a recent "service"
- Ceiling stains suggesting a long-running leak above
How Tușe and iRanti help
Open the Tuse app and describe what is happening in your own words — for example, “AC leaking water”. iRanti reads the description, suggests the likely service category and a price band, and routes you toward a verified ac repair professional. It is a preliminary assessment, not a definitive remote diagnosis: the artisan still inspects on site before any repair.
Starting price for AC repair
AC repair on Tuse starts from ₦12,000. That is starting guidance, not a guaranteed final quote. Scope, parts, and complexity can change the total — you see the price in the app before you confirm, and any on-site change needs your approval first.

FAQs
Why is water coming from my AC?
Usually a blocked drain, iced coil from poor airflow, or drain pipe issues. A technician clears the drain and checks for related faults.
Is AC water dangerous?
Condensate is normally just water, but pooled water near electrics is a safety risk — switch off and keep the area dry.
