Here's the thing: a frozen AC unit isn't a sign your system is dying-it's a diagnostic signal telling you exactly what to fix.
We see this a lot throughout the summer. And the good news? It's almost always preventable and fixable. The three main culprits are low refrigerant (a slow leak), restricted airflow (clogged filter or blocked vents), or outdoor temps dipping too low for your unit to operate safely.
If your AC freezes up, here's what to do right now:
✓ Turn off the system immediately
✓ Let it thaw naturally (don't force it)
✓ Check your air filter and replace if dirty
✓ Make sure vents and outdoor unit aren't blocked
If it thaws and stays fixed? Schedule a routine maintenance tune-up with us to prevent it happening again. If it refreezes or won't thaw? That's when you call our 24/7 emergency line-we'll diagnose the real issue and get you running again.
