If you have an older system, you will need to make sure and not have your system at a low temp as it will begin to work to hard and may stop all together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons a\/c units freeze up is because of\nbacked up air flow. The cold air cannot go anywhere and therefore freezes,\nsometimes into big blocks, on the unit and stops the cooling inside the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you prevent this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main ways to prevent an a\/c from freezing over or not\ncooling in general are below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Have the refrigerant\nlevel checked.<\/li><li>Change the filter\nmonthly.<\/li><li><strong>Keep<\/strong>&nbsp;the supply vents open.<\/li><li>Have the fan speed\nincreased.<\/li><li>Have the thermostat\nchecked out.<\/li><li>Inspect the condensate\ndrain weekly.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now,\nif you are a tenant with BarronsPM, you will already have number 2 covered\nunder the filter program we require for all tenants.
