A leaking air conditioner is rarely an immediate life-threatening emergency, but it requires prompt attention to prevent costly property damage and mechanical failure. A severe water leak can ruin drywall, warp hardwood floors, and foster toxic mold growth if left unaddressed. Similarly, a refrigerant leak stops cooling performance and can destroy your expensive compressor motor if run continuously. While you do not need to call emergency services, you should shut the system off immediately. Verification: Turn off the AC at the thermostat and place towels or a wet-dry vacuum around pooling water.
