Domestic a/c condensation

We Have a 2007 Lexington. We are noticing a lot of condensation from the roof air conditioner. Is this normal or could there be a clogged drain? If so, location of drain? We are currently in Jacksonville, Fl and it is very humid, but other units around us don't appear to have a lot of condensation coming from their a/c.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Andi

Is the condensation just coming from the A/C and running down the exterior of your unit? Or is it leaking into the interior of your unit?

Seeing condensation on the exterior is normal provided it is draining down via the proper drain conduits.

If it is leaking into the interior of your unit, take the interior cover off and check for condensation in that cavity. We had the same problem and it was due to the factory not properly installing insulation in the cavity.

Hope this helps.



It could be a clogged drain

Thanks B47, it is only draining on the outside and via conduits. We checked our filter and all is well, no interior draining...thank goodness. We are currently in the middle of Tropical Storm Debbie and sitting at Mayport Naval Station, Jacksonville. ....we need our air!!!
Thanks again

Well given that - it appears that your A/C is doing just what it is supposed to do and that is removing humidity from the ambient air.
