Many people are surprised to find out that A/C units can freeze any time of the year, even summertime! However, an ice-covered unit (whatever the season) should be a warning sign that something is wrong.
Here’s why:
- Your refrigerant levels may be low.
- There may be insufficient airflow to the evaporating coils.
- The outdoor temperature has dropped. Most A/C units don’t work well in temperature below 60°F.
It could also be a combination of these reasons why your A/C has frozen solid. Don’t wait too long to call a local HVAC technician. Shut your A/C off, let it thaw, and then make the call.
