a/c unit in house not leaking water.what gives? (AC, heat)

[SamNC]

2 years ago, my AC unit in the house leaked water (?), about 1/2 gallon per day, and i caught it in a bucket. it was tough to tell where it came from.

The unit now doesnt leak anything...any ideas why it doesnt?

It is a combination a/c gas heat unit (I guess its a combo), central air. installed in 1994

It should be plumbed for the condensation to go into a main drain line. Earlier that line may have been clogged & backing up or over flowing.

It sounds like it's working as designed.

There should be a 3/4" plastic pipe connected to the a/c unit (inside the house) draining out somewhere. Some drain into plumbing pipes, and some drain to the outside and run onto the ground. If you go outside and look around the outside a/c unit, you may see the end of the plastic pipe. Water should drain out of that during operation.
Is the inside unit in the attic? or a closet?

If it's in the attic, there should be a metal pan under the unit, and it may have a drain pipe of it's own.

If the unit is in a closet, then you will probably see the white plastic pipe running out of the unit.

The a/c units will drain water out of them (it's called condensate) when it is humid. Is the unit cooling the house down?

When it was leaking into a bucket, did you have it repaired? Or did it just stop leaking by itself?

Need more information to ehlp.
