Ac Not Cooling Lake Lindsey Common Causes of Frozen Ac Coils

Not having cold air coming out of your air conditioner can be one of the most frustrating things that people will have with their system. It is working but it is not working as well as it should be, indicating that there is some type of problem that needs to be corrected, however the problem is not always apparent. When a home ac is not cooling, Lake Lindsey residents should know that there are many causes for this, but it is pretty common to find out that some ac coils may have frozen over with only a bit of examination. Here are some of the more common reasons why the coils in an air conditioning system might freeze over.

Blocked Lines and Filters

In order for Ac coils to work properly without freezing over, they need to have good access to warmer air. If someone does not take the time to clean the lines and filters of their system, it can cause coils to freeze and their ac not cooling. Lake Lindsey residents should always take the time to make sure their air filters are replaced at regular times to not have restricted airflow. Additionally, Condensate lines could be another area that if restricted, could cause Ac coils to freeze over because the water that is collected here can freeze.

Mechanical Failures Causing Frozen Coils

Even if someone makes sure to replace all necessary parts of an Ac that could cause air flow problems, it is still possible that a mechanical failure can cause frozen coils, and therefore have someone’s Ac not cooling. Lake Lindsey residents should know that two common types of mechanical malfunctions that can cause this issue are broken refrigerant lines, and broken fans. Even if vents and filters are cleaned regularly, broken fans can still cause circulation problems which would prevent air from reaching ac coils, and cause them to freeze over. When refrigerant leaks occur, the lack of pressure can cause the material to absorb much more heat than is required, which can cause ac coils to freeze over.
