Dumb Furnace Questions
1 the blue / white side debate has been going on for 20 years. you ask one service man he will say blue , then the next one will say white because it you are going to through it away and the white seem to catch more dust. the last time i checked 10 years ago blue was the side of choice. now don't worry about which side but get a clean filter on it. 2 yes a dirty filter can cause water on the floor. 3 you need to put clean filter on it and run it for a day or two see if water goes away. run your fan on contenious fan or runs all the time to dry up the water on floor and out of carpet. 24 to 48 hours should do it. 4 if water presist blow or clean out drain line and if this does not work you may have a hole in drain pan of evaperator coil. on the year and model you described , it is rare of holes in drain pans
Answer:
I'm the original poster of the water on the floor question to which Turtle responded. By "clogged coil (mainly A coils)" do you mean a dirty evaporator coil? I changed the filter on Friday. Saturday we ran the air conditioner most of the day, and no water appeared. Today, Sunday, it was in the 90's here and very humid. The water was back. It sounds as though it might be dripping from the plenum above the blower, and where, I guess, the A/C evaporator is. Much as I hate to I'll probably have to call the HVAC folks later this week if no one here has any further suggestions about what to do. First check that the drain isn't clogged. It's been reported here that blowing air through it (backwards, starting from where the drain exits) is often effective at removing clogs.
