Why Theres Ice on Your Air Conditioner and How to Repair It

Your air conditioner works tirelessly to keep indoor temperatures pleasant. But occasionally things don’t work like they’re supposed to and ice forms in or around your cooling equipment. This may damage key components or even stop your system from running.

If you’ve found ice on your air conditioner, it’s a wise idea to get in touch with our cooling Experts at 321-428-7635. Our AC specialists are the best around when it comes to air conditioning repair in Melbourne.

While there are multiple reasons ice may form in or around your cooling system, the most common culprit is a lack of preventive servicing. Taking a few steps to keep your air conditioner in good condition will go a long way in combating the formation of ice.

Some of these routine 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 key step in the cooling process. This affects refrigerant inside the coil and creates extra moisture, which turns to ice. We suggest reviewing 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 consistently, a dirty coil can also ice over. Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning experts will regularly clean the evaporator coil as part of our exhaustive maintenance process. We suggest arranging air conditioning maintenance every year to keep your coil clean and to lower the chance of breakdowns.

Examining Refrigerant Levels

Without adequate refrigerant, the evaporator coil can’t transfer as much heat and could ice up. As a result, your home will be hotter and stuffy. The most likely source of insufficient refrigerant is a leak. Our Experts are well-trained in patching up these leaks and getting your air conditioner at the correct refrigerant level.

Maintaining Electrical Wiring

Faulty wiring will disrupt the blower motor. Without constant airflow, the temperature may drop, and ice will form. Qualified HVAC technicians like those at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning will evaluate all electrical components during routine maintenance to make certain nothing is wrong. Bad wiring will be replaced as necessary.

Ice on Your Air Conditioner Can Also Indicate There’s a More Pressing Issue

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