    Any rain in the pan should not get into the home because the pan is pitched. The heat from the compressor will cause the water to evaporate just like the condensate from the A/C unit

    Many window units have a drain. I just installed a GE and it had a small slit drain. The units should be pitched so water will drain over the condenser edge without a separate drain.
