- Dripping or pooling water appears after shutdown
- Filter changes have not stopped repeat icing
How It Works
Confirm whether the coil is frozen and assess severity
Check filter, vents, blower operation, and airflow restrictions
Inspect coil condition and drainage around the air handler
Evaluate refrigerant-related symptoms once the system can be tested
Address root cause to help prevent repeat freeze-ups
What Affects Pricing
- Whether the coil must thaw before full diagnosis
- Cause of the freeze-up such as airflow or refrigerant issues
- Condition of the blower, coil, and drain components
- Accessibility of the indoor unit and evaporator section
- Need for additional repairs beyond thawing and inspection
Local Insight — Charleston Area
High humidity in Charleston and surrounding areas can make a frozen coil especially disruptive because the system is also trying to remove moisture from the air. Homes in Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, and West Ashley may see longer AC run times during humid stretches, which can make airflow or refrigerant problems show up faster. In coastal service areas, heavy cooling demand combined with outdoor wear can contribute to conditions that trigger repeat icing.
Homeowner Tip
If you notice ice on the line or indoor unit, turn the thermostat from cool to off and switch the fan to on to help thaw the coil. Also check and replace a dirty filter if needed.
This can reduce additional ice buildup and may shorten the time needed before the system can be properly evaluated. It also helps prevent more strain on the compressor while the coil is frozen.
⚠ Do not chip at the ice or restart the AC repeatedly while the coil is still frozen.
