When the coils are activated, the refrigerant will need warm air to blow across them. ... Or if the refrigerant pressure is wrong inside the coils, then your system's coils can become too cold and can quickly freeze up. And that can leave you with a frozen AC.
At what temperature will an AC unit freeze?
Air conditioners are designed to function in a specific temperature range. If you are running your air conditioner when the outside air is below 62 degrees, then the pressure inside of your system will drop and this can cause your air conditioner to freeze up.
How do I keep my air conditioner from freezing up?
- Have the refrigerant level checked.
- Change the filter monthly.
- Keep the supply vents open.
- Have the fan speed increased.
- Have the thermostat checked out.
- Inspect the condensate drain weekly.
- Make sure any window units you have are angled correctly.
