Water under the heat pump?

Water may be seen around the heat pump. This is normal condensation produced as a byproduct of this type of system.

• The amount of condensation depends on the amount of humidity in the air. Quantities of 8 to 10 gallons (30 to 38 liters) per hour are common. Low humidity may result in no condensation.
• Keep the drain holes at the base of the unit free of grass and weeds. This will allow condensation to drain from the heat pump. If the heat pump is located under trees, leaves may fall and accumulate in the bottom of the unit. Accumulated debris should be removed by a qualified technician.
