it appears to be "sweating out near the coils

Cool objects condense water vapors. That is mostly a sign that the humidity is high. In fact removing moisture from the air is one way that air-conditioners cool you.
Normally there is a provision for the moisture to be drained away.
Check if that works properly

I'm a little confused by your question. The central air sweating inside your house can mean many things, therefore many different sources of problems. "Sweating out near the coils" sounds like the condensing unit, but that doesn't go with the first part of your question (the condensing unit is outside).

I'm thinking you are talking about your air handler, which is located in the garage or an interior closet. If it is actually inside your home, and it is sweating, there are two things to look for:

If it is in a closet, and the closet is unconditioned, the warm unconditioned air against the cool air handler will sweat. This can be remedied with a louvered door or a small air vent.

Still, I suspect the sweating is a result of lack of air flow across the evaporator coil. Even with a clean filter, there can still be obstructions, such as a dirty or moldy coil, or an improperly-sized return air grille.

Hope this helps,. God bless you!

Yes, the temperature is hot and the humidity is high.
Its normal condensation. If the drain is stopped up you will have water on the floor. Just a little bit of drano will unclog it if theres not a frog in the end of the drain pipe. If the condenser coil and evaporator coil are dirty it wont run efficiently and your light bill will be higher. They should be cleaned at least once a year for normal use (inside unit and outside unit). You can help keep the outside unit clean by hosing it off after cutting grass and keeping leaves away from it. The copper tubing coming from the outside unit to the inside unit should be wrapped in insulation because it will sweat.

Air Handler Sweating

The larger of the two lines will sweat naturally if this is what you are talking about. Get some press tight and wrap this around the out side line that is sweating. PS: freon is a brand name the proper term is refrigerant R-22 which is the type used in home systems

Aussie-Aussie-Aussie, oie, oie oie. The phenomenon you've noticed is the very same one you might experience when a metal pitcher of water is taken outdoors and moisture in the form of water droplets form on the outside of the pitcher. A Leak? not at all just a little thing called "Condensation" and "Dew point". If you're near a Home Center, go to their pipe insulation rack and grab some black foam insulation trade named Armaflex and wrap the exposed metal to insulate it from the heat. Tada you've stopped the "sweating out"

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!
