This common local issue is often caused by restricted airflow or low refrigerant levels. Restricted airflow can stem from a clogged air filter, blocked return vents, or a failing blower motor. Low refrigerant, or a leak, prevents the coil from absorbing heat properly, causing it to drop below freezing. As your local expert, I perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a lasting repair to prevent future freeze-ups and protect your system.

Your existing system is a great starting point! First, I recommend regularly changing standard filters or upgrading to a high-efficiency pleated filter to capture more dust, pollen, and pet dander. For more significant improvements, we can discuss installing a whole-house air purifier or UV light system that works with your ductwork to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. A professional duct cleaning can also remove accumulated debris that circulates through your home.

The single most impactful thing you can do is change your air filter every 1-3 months. A clean filter maintains proper airflow, which is critical to preventing evaporator coil freeze-ups in the summer and ensuring efficient heating in the winter. It also protects your system's internal components from dust buildup and is the first line of defense for your indoor air quality. I'm happy to recommend the right filter type and schedule a seasonal tune-up to keep everything running smoothly.
