Why Theres Ice on Your Air Conditioner and What to Do About It
Your air conditioner works around the clock to keep indoor temperatures comfortable. But from time to time things don’t work right and ice forms in or around your cooling equipment. This may damage delicate components or even stop your air conditioner from running.
If you’ve located ice on your air conditioner, it’s a good idea to contact our cooling Experts at 226-773-3357. Our repair techs are the best around when it comes to air conditioning repair in Windsor.
While there are different reasons ice could form in or around your air conditioning, the most likely culprit is a lack of preventive servicing. 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 useful tasks include the following:
Changing the Air Filter
If your air filter is dirty or clogged, air won’t move over the evaporator coil, which is a key step in the cooling process. This affects refrigerant inside the coil and produces extra moisture, which turns to ice. We suggest checking your filter each 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 might also ice over. Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts experts will regularly 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 minimize the chance of breakdowns.
Examining Refrigerant Levels
Without the required amount of refrigerant, the evaporator coil can’t absorb as much heat and might ice up. As a result, your home will be hotter and unpleasant. The most frequent cause of insufficient refrigerant is a leak. Our Experts are experienced in resolving these leaks and getting your air conditioner at the correct refrigerant level.
Servicing Electrical Wiring
Damaged wiring will affect the blower motor. Without steady airflow, the temperature may drop, and ice will form. Professional HVAC technicians like everyone at Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts will inspect all electrical components during routine maintenance to ensure nothing is damaged. Bad wiring will be redone as necessary.

Ice on Your Air Conditioner May Also Mean There’s a Larger Problem
Sometimes ice on your air conditioner is a result of a larger problem. No air conditioner lives forever. And if you have an older one that requires R-22 refrigerant, you’ll be out of luck if you need more refrigerant, since it’s no longer being distributed.
