Frozen AC Unit Repair

A frozen AC unit is a common issue that can significantly impact your home’s comfort, reducing cooling efficiency and potentially causing long-term damage to your HVAC system if left unaddressed. Ice buildup on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines can occur due to several factors, including restricted airflow, low refrigerant levels, or even thermostat malfunctions. If not resolved promptly, a frozen AC can lead to costly repairs and even a complete system breakdown, making it crucial to address the problem as soon as possible.

• Identifying and fixing airflow restrictions caused by dirty filters, blocked vents, or blower motor issues.
