Yes, a leaking or neglected air conditioner can indirectly make you sick by fostering an indoor environment where mold, mildew, bacteria, and dust mites thrive. When a drain pan overflows or standing water accumulates in a dirty air handler, toxic mold spores grow rapidly and are pulled into the ductwork, circulating throughout your home. Breathing these allergens causes persistent morning congestion, sinus irritation, coughing, watery eyes, and allergic flare-ups. Verification: Inspect your indoor air handler and drain pan for mold growth and replace filters regularly.
