My Air Conditioner unit has frozen up (or not stopped working / hot air coming out of the vent)

What to do : 

the first and most important thing after realising the frost build up on the air conditioner unit is to turn the entire system off. If your system keeps running under the same condition, chances of more frost accumulation are high. 

If your air conditioning unit is not working or not cooling at all you should contact an HVAC professional for a diagnostics report.  You can contact us today for a free diagnostics report and in person consultation.

Reasons of frost build up (air conditioner frozen up) : 

• Low refrigerant 
• improper/rushed installation 
• Dirty/improper air filtration → poor airflow (low air supply compared to the amount of cooling capacity)
• Damaged fan 

Next step :

After shutting your system down and ensuring adequate filter conditions and proper airflow, you can let your system run again while supervising after all the frost has melted down, if the issue reoccurs, you need to get the unit checked by an HVAC professional.  You can contact us today for a free diagnostics report and in person consultation.
