Your air conditioner works constantly to keep indoor temperatures comfy. But occasionally things don’t work correctly and ice builds up in or around your cooling unit. This may harm delicate components or even stop your air conditioner from running.
If you’ve discovered ice on your air conditioner, it’s a smart idea to reach out to our cooling Experts at 866-397-3787. Our repair techs are the best around when it comes to air conditioning repair in Canada.
While there are different reasons ice can form in or around your air conditioning, the most frequent culprit is a lack of preventive servicing. Taking simple steps to keep your air conditioner in good condition will go a long way in stopping the formation of ice.
Some of these helpful tasks include the following:
If your air filter is dirty or clogged, air won’t move over the evaporator coil, which is a key step in the cooling process. This affects refrigerant inside the coil and results in extra moisture, which turns to ice. We suggest inspecting your filter every month and replacing it when you can’t see light through it.
Even if you change your air filter on a regular basis, a dirty coil could also ice over. Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing experts will regularly clean the evaporator coil as part of our exhaustive maintenance process. We suggest requesting air conditioning maintenance annually to keep your coil clean and to reduce the chance of breakdowns.
Without adequate refrigerant, the evaporator coil can’t take in as much heat and might ice up. As a result, your home will be hotter and less comfortable. The most frequent source of inadequate refrigerant is a leak. Our Experts are well-trained in locating these leaks and getting your air conditioner at the required refrigerant level.
Damaged wiring will affect the blower motor. Without constant airflow, the temperature can drop, and ice will form. Professional HVAC technicians like those at Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing will review all electrical components during routine maintenance to make sure nothing is damaged. Bad wiring will be exchanged as necessary.
Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing provides comprehensive maintenance membership packages to boost your air conditioner’s performance. With routine service visits, the likelihood for severe problems is greatly reduced.
There’s a chance ice on your air conditioner is pointing to a larger problem. No air conditioner lives forever. And if you have an older one that uses R-22 refrigerant, you’ll be out of luck if you need more refrigerant, since it’s no longer being manufactured.
