When you turn on your air conditioning system to enjoy cool air for another hot and humid Georgia summer, that air feels crisp and icy as it first hits you. So if you notice ice starting to form on the evaporator coil of the air conditioner, you may think it’s natural. The AC is work hard and doing a good job. 

Except … it’s not!

The truth is that you should never see ice forming on any part of your air conditioner. An AC doesn’t use ice to cool the air, nor should its cooling process create ice. If you do see ice, something’s wrong with the air conditioner, and you’ll want it addressed as soon as possible.

Got a Dead AC Compressor Before the Start of Summer? Here Are Your Options

Monday, April 15th, 2024

One of the best reasons to always schedule air conditioning maintenance in spring is because it will catch problems before the hot weather begins, giving you time to correct them. One of the biggest problems a technician may discover during an AC inspection is that the compressor has failed. If you didn’t know about this ahead of time, you would have turned your cooling system on during the first hot day and gotten … room-temperature air. No cooling at all! 

The compressor is one of the most important parts of an AC: it’s where most of the energy used to cool a house goes. The compressor is also an expensive component. It’s costly enough that when it fails, the conventional wisdom is that the whole air conditioning system needs to be replaced. Is this always the case?
