  • Another aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner comprising a drain pan for collecting drain water that is dropped from a heat exchanger and a drain pump for discharging the drain water in the drain pan.
  • the drain pump is driven after a predetermined time has elapsed from the starting of the air conditioner. According to this configuration, immediately after the air conditioner is started and when the amount of the drain water in the drain water storing portion is small, the drain pump is not driven. This reduces opportunities of the clogging of the drain piping.
