My Airconditioner Does Not Drip Water But House Is Cool. Is Something Wrong?
nothing is wrong at all, it just means the water is evaporating before it has a chance to drip, or it could be that you never took the drip plug out which would just allow the water to sit in the bottom of the ac. so it should be ok.

why would you want it to drip water (condensation)?
new AC units DO NOT drip!! you will notice they don’t even have a vent or slot to drip,, the motors etc are sealed in a container and this sits in a small pool of water that is condensed,, the heat from this evaperates the water and maintains its level,, if it is a new AC don’t worry!!!
Check the drainage pipe has a slope and is slanting towards the outlet and also ensure this drainage pipe is not blocked
If you live in a dry climate, you may not be getting much condensate. However, if it’s humid, then you should be removing moisture from the air along with the cooling. In case of the latter–
(1)If this is a window a/c, then the condensate may be evaporating. Many of these units allow the hot end or the freon coils to dip into the condensate, which will cool the coils a bit & evaporate some of the moisture. Also, the outside blower blades will blow across to further increas this evaporation. However, it’s possible that your drain is plugged or the slope of the tray doesn’t direct the liquid to the drain; if this were the case, you’d probably see signs of liquid getting onto your inner walls, etc.
(2)If this is central a/c, you also would have a tray that collects the condensate & directs it to a drain. It too could be clogged.
the dripping water is from moisture removed from the room air. If the room humidity is very low, you won’t see much water.
Look under your bath sinks. If there is a flex hose from the back wall tied into the drain pipes you may have a primary drain. I do this on every home I build. No wet yard or driveway. You can also look at the blower unit (attic or closet) and see if it has a PVC line that runs into a wall. Not the one for the overflow pan, but maybe has an open end sticking up for annual maint. Good Luck!
Sweet finally some intelligent answers!My only argument is that the moisture is also condensation build up off the “A” coil,but yes the More humid the climate the more condensation.And that other guy using my phrase.Good Luck
The climate you live in could affect the amount of condensation you see. Also, if your system is undercharged it will not “sweat” or produce condensation. Check the temp coming out of the registers and the temp the thermostat says the house currently is. It should be 15-20 degrees difference.
