What To Do About a Frozen AC

It’s confusing, we know. You could cook an egg on the sidewalk outside but your air conditioning unit looks like Elsa’s ice castle.

No matter the weather, an air conditioning unit freezing over is actually a common problem and there are really only two causes: a clogged filter or a refrigerant leak. 

Let’s take a closer look at the reasons for a frozen unit – and the solutions. 

Cool Coil Causes 

There are two major reasons that your AC unit is cold to the touch. And the way to fix them are just as different. You might be able to take care of it at home, but if you have any concerns or issues, call one of our expert technicians in the Phoenix area to come take a look; you can book an appointment by calling 623-853-1482.

  1. A Clogged Filter 

If it’s been a while since you’ve changed your AC filters, that’s the first thing to check. Turn off your unit but keep the fan running for at least an hour to defrost the coil. Look up your AC unit online and follow the instructions to change the filter. 

  1. A Refrigerant Leak 

Now if your filter is squeaky clean, you are looking at a bigger problem than no cool air. You’ll need to contact a professional to fix your issue – if you catch it in time you can avoid having to replace the entire system! Your expert technician will find the leak and make the necessary repairs.  

Cool air is important. So is finding the right repairman. If you’re in the Greater Phoenix area, contact A Quality HVAC or give us a call at 623-853-1482 to discuss your options.

Customer Testimonials

“Manny came to repair my air conditioner. It took several procedures and he finally replaced my new motor. It seems to be doing the trick. He also put in a new thermostat . Mine was 21 years old so it was time. He was pleasant and easy to work with; answered all my questions, and there were a lot, until I understood. I would recommend this company and this tech unconditionally!!!” - Midge Abel
“Jason was pleasant, professional, and helpful. He clearly talked about my options and answered all my questions. I’d gladly do business with him again.” - Katrine Cady
“Our upstairs AC stopped working yesterday and I chose this business because of their 5 star reviews. They did not disappoint. Rachel was amazing. She is not only friendly but she is very professional. She was ready to send someone out within an hour! John came out and was very knowledgeable, professional and above all, honest. You don’t see that very often anymore. I will definitely come to them for my future AC/Heater needs.” - Heidi Hedina
