    Air Handler Water Buildup
    My air handler is building up water daily and I have to empty it out daily in order for my air conditioner to work. Why would this happen? I have never had a problem like this before. If I do not clean out the air handler daily then my air conditoner shuts down. Please help!

    Your air handler must have a condensate water drain. This drain is probily pluged up. If you clean it out your problem will go away. Good Luck a61l

    You have a restricted condensate drain. Locate the drain on the outside of the house and suck it out with a shop vac. If your system has a drain safety switch it will kill 24v going to the A/C when the drain pan or line is backing up.
