The weather is turning very warm in north central Texas, which means your air conditioning system needs to be working at peak efficiency to keep you, your loved ones and/or employees safe, cool and comfortable.
However, if your AC begins to freeze and cannot operate well enough to keep you comfortable, then it’s time to contact James Lane Air Conditioning & Plumbing Co.
There are two main reasons why an air conditioner will freeze up; blocked or low air flow, or a refrigerant leak.
Blocked or restricted air flow within your home or business results from the causes a lack of air to move through the air conditioning system, thereby causing the condensate on the coil to freeze.
Low airflow another causes air conditioner freeze ups because the evaporator coil requires a specific volume of warm air flowing over it at all times. Without this warm air flow, coil condensation turns to frost and, eventually to solid ice. This reduces airflow even further while also worsening the icing issue.
Refrigerant (or other coolant) leaks require a permanent fix, not a temporary one such as a topping off of this crucial liquid. The low level of refrigerant will cause the vaporous substance to drop the evaporator coil temperature too low. The resulting condensation freezes in layers and causes a major icing event.
Regardless of the cause of a major freezing event that affects your ultimate comfort, your decision to have regular maintenance performed by James Lane Air Conditioning & Plumbing Co. will be a relatively small investment that provides a considerable return.
