An air conditioner (A) includes a substantially box-shaped casing (1), a fan (20) arranged in the casing (1), a heat exchanger (30) arranged in the casing (1), a drain pan (40) for storing condensed water from the heat exchanger (30), and a drain pump (50) for discharging the condensed water stored in the drain pan (40) to an exterior of the air conditioner. A passage (60) through which a flexible long body for maintaining the air conditioner (A) is inserted from the exterior to the vicinity of a bottom part of the drain pan (40) is further provided. The passage (60) only includes one, two or more of a straight part, an obtuse bent part and a curved part.
