JacksonMech: Qualified HVAC Services Serving North Augusta 29841

This is a very common issue during our hot South Carolina summers. Often, the culprit is dirty evaporator coils inside your air handler. Over time, dust and debris build up on these coils, acting like insulation that prevents them from absorbing heat from your home's air. This drastically reduces cooling efficiency. A professional inspection and coil cleaning from JacksonMech can typically restore your system's performance and improve energy efficiency.

We recommend a professional tune-up twice a year—once in the spring for your cooling system and once in the fall for your heating system. The intense summer heat and high humidity in North Augusta put extra strain on AC components. Regular maintenance, including checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, and ensuring electrical connections are tight, helps prevent breakdowns during peak season and keeps your system running efficiently to manage your energy bills.

Yes, absolutely. Dirty evaporator coils are a primary cause of ice formation on your AC unit. When the coils are clogged, they can't properly absorb heat. This causes the temperature of the coils to drop below freezing, which then condenses and freezes moisture from the air. If you see ice, turn the system off to let it thaw and call JacksonMech. We'll clean the coils, check for proper airflow, and ensure refrigerant levels are correct to prevent future freezing and potential damage to your compressor.
