Why is my air conditioner freezing up?

Ice on the indoor coil almost always means restricted airflow — usually a dirty filter — or low refrigerant. Turn the system to fan-only to thaw it, replace the filter, and if it freezes again, call for diagnosis. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor.

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?

Consider replacement when the system is 12–15+ years old, uses phased-out refrigerant, needs frequent repairs, or can't keep up on hot days. A contractor can compare the repair scope against replacement during the same visit — call and ask for an honest assessment of both options.

What should I check before calling for AC repair?

Confirm the thermostat is set to cool with fresh batteries, replace a dirty air filter, check that the outdoor unit has clear space around it, and verify breakers haven't tripped. If those check out and it still won't cool properly, it's time to call.

Is a refrigerant leak dangerous?

Refrigerant leaks reduce cooling and can damage the compressor if the system keeps running low. While brief exposure in a ventilated home is rarely an emergency, leaks should be found and repaired by a licensed contractor — topping off without fixing the leak is a temporary patch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to common questions about connecting with independent local contractors.

The most common causes are a failed run capacitor, dirty condenser coils, low refrigerant from a leak, or a tripped outdoor breaker. A contractor can usually identify which one with a single diagnostic visit — check your thermostat setting and air filter first, since a clogged filter alone can cripple cooling.
