Your air conditioner works day and night to keep indoor temperatures comfortable. But occasionally things don’t work like they’re supposed to and ice builds up in or around your cooling equipment. This may harm expensive components or even stop your AC system from running.
If you’ve stumbled upon ice on your air conditioner, it’s a good idea to get in touch with our cooling Experts at 843-619-3781. Our repair techs are the best name in service when it comes to air conditioning repair in Hilton Head Island.
While there are multiple reasons ice may appear in or around your cooling system, the most frequent culprit is a lack of preventive service. Taking small steps to keep your air conditioner in working shape will go a long way in halting the formation of ice.
Some of these helpful tasks include the following:
Putting in a New the Air Filter
If your air filter is dirty or clogged, air won’t move over the evaporator coil, which is a vital step in the cooling process. This affects refrigerant inside the coil and results in extra moisture, which turns to ice. We advise looking at your filter every month and replacing it when you can’t see light through it.
Cleaning the Coil
Even if you switch your air filter regularly, a dirty coil can also ice over. Epperson Service Experts experts will thoroughly clean the evaporator coil as part of our detailed maintenance process. We suggest scheduling air conditioning maintenance once a year to keep your coil clean and to reduce the chance of breakdowns.
Checking Refrigerant Levels
Without the right supply of refrigerant, the evaporator coil can’t take in as much heat and may ice up. As a result, your home will be hotter and unpleasant. The most likely source of reduced refrigerant is a leak. Our Experts are experienced in patching up these leaks and getting your air conditioner at the required refrigerant level.
Maintaining Electrical Wiring
Faulty wiring will disrupt the blower motor. Without consistent airflow, the temperature could drop, and ice will form. Certified HVAC technicians like everyone at Epperson Service Experts will examine all electrical components during routine maintenance to ensure nothing is damaged. Bad wiring will be exchanged as necessary.
