A system to be used in combination with an air conditioning assembly and designed and structured for the detection of collected condensation at a predetermined level within a collection facility associated therewith and prior to actual over flow and also the detection of any leakage from any of the collection facilities or various plumbing components throughout the air conditioning system such that the detection of either excess collected condensation or leakage serves to shut-down the air conditioning assembly. The subject system may also be structured to restart the air conditioning assembly automatically once a level of collected condensation has receded or any leakage has been alleviated.
