A heat pump leaking water inside is usually condensate from a clogged drain — but it can signal a refrigerant problem. A heat pump “leaking water” is usually condensate — which is normal in cooling and defrost — but water pooling indoors, or an oily residue, can point to a clogged drain or a refrigerant leak that needs a licensed technician. Our Red Seal technicians have kept Metro Vancouver homes warm and dry since 1999 — call (604) 359-1081 for same-day help.
Most heat pump leaks trace back to one of these causes:
Water near the indoor air handler’s electrical connections is a shock and damage risk — shut the system off. A suspected refrigerant leak (sharp drop in heating or cooling, hissing, oily film) should be assessed promptly by a licensed technician.
CANRO clears and tests the condensate drain and pan, checks airflow and the coil, confirms whether you have a condensate or refrigerant issue, and — for refrigerant — leak-tests, repairs, and recharges to spec with licensed handling.
Condensate drain clearing is usually $150–$350; a replacement drain pan $300–$600. Refrigerant leak repair varies with location and access and is quoted after a proper leak test. Every job starts with a clear, upfront price — no surprises.

Some condensate drainage is normal in cooling and during defrost. Water pooling indoors or a steady indoor drip is not normal and should be checked.
Refrigerant leaks usually come with weak heating/cooling, hissing or an oily film — not a puddle of clear water. A licensed tech can confirm with a leak test.
