Did you know that ice on your central air conditioner can happen as a result of a dirty filter? A dirty filter will restrict air flow, which can cause ice to form on your evaporator coils. Ice can also form because of low refrigerant or a problem with your drain line. If you notice ice building up on your air conditioning system, call a professional to take a look. They will make sure to get rid of the ice and fix the underlying problem.

Warning Signs That Signal AC Repair is Needed

So what are these early warning signs? Well, there are quite a few different things you can watch for:

• No Cool Air
  This could be a sign that your system is need of serious repair. For instance, lack of cool air could mean that your system’s compressor has failed. It could also mean that you’re your system’s Freon levels are too low. When that time comes, you might have to replace the AC unit.
  
  
• Poor Air Flow
  If you are noticing weak or little air flow through your AC vents, the unit’s compressor may be failing. In case your areas or rooms in your home are getting cold air while others are not, then the trouble might be with your duct work and it’s a sign that your AC system needs urgent repair.  Over time, debris can get stuck in your air conditioning vents. Not only this obstructs airflow, but it also presents a health risk to you and your family.
