Why Your Air Conditioner is Iced Up and How to Fix It

Your air conditioner works hard to keep indoor temperatures pleasant. But from time to time things don’t work like they’re supposed to and ice collects in or around your cooling unit. This might harm delicate components or even stop your AC system from running.

If you’ve discovered ice on your air conditioner, it’s a good idea to call our cooling Experts at 817-380-5647. Our AC specialists are the best in the business when it comes to air conditioning repair in Fort Worth.

While there are multiple reasons ice could appear in or around your air conditioner, the most frequent culprit is a lack of preventive maintenance. Taking a few steps to keep your air conditioner running normally will go a long way in combating the formation of ice.

Some of these important tasks include the following:

Putting in a New the Air Filter

If your air filter is dirty or clogged, air struggles to move over the evaporator coil, which is a crucial step in the cooling process. This affects refrigerant inside the coil and collects extra moisture, which turns to ice. We recommend looking at your filter every month and replacing it when you can’t see light through it.

Cleaning the Coil

Even if you change your air filter regularly, a dirty coil might also ice over. Calverley Service Experts technicians will thoroughly clean the evaporator coil as part of our comprehensive maintenance process. We suggest requesting air conditioning maintenance annually to keep your coil clean and to lower the chance of breakdowns.

Inspecting Refrigerant Levels

Without the right supply of refrigerant, the evaporator coil can’t hold as much heat and can ice up. As a result, your home will be hotter and stuffy. The most frequent source of insufficient refrigerant is a leak. Our Experts are well-versed in patching up these leaks and getting your air conditioner at the required refrigerant level.

Maintaining Electrical Wiring

Bad wiring will interrupt the blower motor. Without constant airflow, the temperature may drop, and ice will form. Certified HVAC technicians like everyone at Calverley Service Experts will check all electrical components during routine maintenance to make certain nothing is wrong. Bad wiring will be replaced as necessary.

Calverley Service Experts designs thorough maintenance membership packages to boost your air conditioner’s effectiveness. With routine service visits, the risk for severe problems is greatly reduced.

Ice on Your Air Conditioner Can Also Indicate There’s a Bigger Situation

Sometimes ice on your air conditioner is evidence of a larger problem. No air conditioner runs forever. And if you have an older one that needs R-22 refrigerant, you’ll be out of luck if you need more refrigerant, since it’s no longer being made.
