window air conditioner drips a LOT of water

HelloI live in a fairly old apartment building that only has a singlewindow air conditioner. The air it outputs into my apartment is coldand it does a good job keeping my apartment cool. But it does drip agreat deal of water out of the external vent, and I'd like to know ifthis means that the unit is inefficient, is being run too much, etc.The unit was made by GE and runs off of a 240-volt electric outlet.It's fairly heavy-duty looking, similar to an A/C unit you might seein a hotel or motel. It's a heater as well; that part worked fine toolast winter, but without all the dripping. The A/C units of my neighboring tenants don't seem to drip nearly asmuch. I didn't live here last summer so I can't compare it that way.I generally run it when temperatures get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit,or the humidity is high. Which is common around here, from mid-May through the end of September days with high temperatures and highhumidity will be nearly every day.Thanks to anyone who replies.

Suggest you should maybe learn about proper sig lines...with a cutline, etc. before starting into calling others "usenet idiots".
