There's 2 reasons for a/c units to freeze up.lack of freon,lack of air flow.the lack of freon doesnt always mean the level is low,it means its low for the application.if the temp of the air your trying to cool is low,it uses more freon to bring the temp down even more.......your unit can freeze even with the proper charge if the unit is running more than it should if you have a bad stat ot a stuck contactor the unit will freeze just as it would if the freon level is low.........make sure your outside unit is shutting off when the tstat says it should
The information above is inaccurate, though yes low freon charge can cause it to freeze, but not the way described above. First off always make sure the size of the unit is appropriate for the size of the room. This is measured in BTU's or British Thermal Units. If the unit is too small it will run excessively and cool poorly, if it is too big it could be more costly to run than necessary. The biggest causes I have encountered are poor airflow and dirty evaporator core and/or condensation drainage passages. Make sure to keep the filter clean and keep the fins clean and straight. Use compressed air to clean out the evaporator and drainage passages, and use a water hose to clean the case and condenser. Make sure moisture can drain easily off of the evaporator, if it sits there too long the freon will turn it into an ice block pretty quickly. If you have done this and are still having problems you should contact your local licensed professional as these freons are hazardous chemicals and can only be handled by certified professionals.
the indoor unit will freeze when there is low air flow due to a dirty filter,dirty coil, fan not spinning, or the a/c unit could be low on refrigerant charge.
its low on freon have it charged
The cause of you AC freezing up is not enough air flow over the coils. Iam not sure if you are tlaking about a window air conditioning unit or an outdoor unit. If it is a window unit your filter is plugged or there is something blocking the intake, this could be inside or outside. If it is an outdoor unit then your compressor fan may not be working, the unit may be sized too large or once again your filter needs changing or something is blocking the intake.
Turn off the unit and let them unfreeze then turn the unit back on and see if the pipes freeze up again if so you need to contact an AC repair there's something wrong with the unit. If its constanly running this is one cause of it freezing up. Turn up the thermostat so it doesn't run as much this should help
My air unit was freezing up i took a brush very carefully and cleaned the A coil and washed it out it fixed my problem.
Call a ac repair man if the central air is freezing up. It more then likely is the coils are clogged which they have special chemicals to clean or it needs more Freon.
It could be either a leaking heater core or the a/c system is freezing up..........
Up to 2 forced air units to one compressor unit.
It is freezing.
Clean the unit once a month that it runs. This is important as the air filter will be dirty and not allow the cooler air to flow through. However, if it has a lot of grime, then you need to clean it with the concoction listed above. Check the ownerโs manual for the type of filter so you can replace it when it is time.
Low on refrigerant or not enough air getting across the coil.
