3 Ways an AC System Can Freeze Over

Low Refrigerant Levels

Refrigerant is a crucial ingredient in any AC system. When your refrigerant is running low, your unit will have less pressure internally. With lower pressure, Freon™ will need to expand even more to lower temperatures in your home. As a result, moisture in the air will freeze as it exits your system. 

Mechanical Issues

When your refrigerant lines are damaged, filters are clogged, or your coils are out of balance, the overall pressure in your system will be reduced. As with low refrigerant levels, these mechanical issues can make your unit start to freeze over. 

Air Flow Problems

Your AC system is tasked with absorbing hot air and creating cold air to replace it. If airflow is blocked or not completing an even exchange, then heat absorption and reduction won’t occur. Instead, your system will simply continue to produce more and more cold air. The temperature of your unit will lower continuously until it freezes over.
