Frozen Evaporator Coils – A Common March HVAC Issue in Missouri
As Missouri transitions from winter to spring, fluctuating temperatures can cause a variety of HVAC issues, one of the most common being frozen evaporator coils. This problem can lead to system inefficiency, higher energy bills, and potential damage to your unit.
What Causes Frozen Evaporator Coils?
Evaporator coils freeze due to restricted airflow or refrigerant issues. Here are some common causes:
- Dirty air filters restricting airflow
- Blocked or closed vents reducing circulation
- Low refrigerant levels causing temperature imbalances
- Faulty fan motors leading to poor airflow
How to Prevent Frozen Evaporator Coils
- Change air filters every 1-3 months
