When you have an air conditioner, you want it to work as efficiently as possible. But sometimes stuff happens that can cause your AC to stop working properly. For example, when pipes freeze in the wintertime and wind up restricting airflow through your house or apartment building, it can lead to some pretty serious problems. Luckily there are several things you can do if this happens so that your unit doesn\u2019t become completely useless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common cause of frozen AC pipes is a malfunctioning or poorly maintained AC system. If your air conditioner is on but not producing enough cold air to keep the house comfortable, you may have a frozen AC pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other potential causes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common reason your AC pipe froze is that it\u2019s exposed to cold air. If the surrounding temperature is below freezing, water will freeze in an open line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second most common reason for a frozen AC line is that some other object has frozen on top of it and blocked airflow through the pipe. This can happen when someone places their hands or feet over a tube while sleeping or if there is ice buildup overnight on any object sitting near your unit (like a window ledge). In this case, all you need to do is remove those obstructions so that air can flow freely through your system again!<\/p>\n\n\n
