Which way should the air flow through the A coil? All centrals I've seen the air is pushed through the A coil from the bottom.
My SIL said his AC is leaking water on the floor. So I looked at it. At first, I thought he had a choked drain. After cleaning drain, water is still getting on the floor.
Upon closer look I noticed the blower was installed under the A coil, which is normal. However instead of blowing the air into the A coil, the blower was pulling air through the coil and pulling condensate off the A coil. The blower was wet and covered with black mold. The capacitor on blower was rusty. Blower is a 3 speed. It was on medium. I put it on low. The floor is staying dry.
The house is a story. Putting fan on low may not provide enough cooling for upstairs.
The blower needs to be removed and sanitized along with some of the duct work.
Window AC's pull air through evaporator. Under certain conditions the fan will pull condensate off evaporator, spraying on inside of unit, and black mold.
Have you ever seen a central installed this way? I can't see any good cheap solution can you?
