Your HVAC system needs good airflow circulating through the system to keep coils warm and functioning as they should. If your AC coils keep freezing at your home in Melbourne Beach, FL, something is most likely amiss with your equipment. Freezing coils can occur as a result of many factors including the following.
Broken Fans
Fans play a critical role in pushing air through your AC system. Even if the filters are clean, if the fan has motor issues, there will be a problem with air circulation. Air restriction can lead to frozen coils.
Dirty Air Filters
As mentioned, your cooling system needs air movement to operate the right way. Dirty fan filters can block free airflow in and out of the equipment. Inappropriate air circulation around AC coils can make the coils too cold, leading to frozen AC coils.
Refrigerant Leaks
Refrigerant usually runs through the AC coils to change pressure, temperature, and absorb heat. When it leaks, the pressure reduces, which makes it draw excess heat than it should. Refrigerant leaks are not only illegal but cause refrigerant lines and coils to freeze.
Blocked Condensate Lines
Condensate lines are responsible for absorbing excess humidity from the air in your home. The moisture condenses into a liquid and moves through drain pipes into a drain.
If the liquid is stuck in one area due to blocked pipes, freezing can happen. It becomes even worse if the clogging happens close to the evaporator coil. Freezing of water and coils across drain pipes can reduce your system’s efficiency.
