In the 1970s, The Carpenters wowed us with a beautiful song about 'Rainy Days and Mondays'. We love rain...it brings beautiful flowers,  but, it can also cause problems and the postponment of air conditioning service...and here's why... No one likes to be uncomfortable; we're in agreement with that. During air conditioning season our phones ring 'off the hook' with dozens of calls pouring in every day...long-time customers and new prospective clients requesting service for their ailing air conditioners. And, we want to help...but Mother Nature sometimes has other thoughts in mind. Safety first...there is no doubt about that. Your expert local air conditioning service company  wants to take care of your needs; however, working on electrical equipment in the rain can not only jeopardize the safety of the HVAC technician, but can cause damage down the road to your system. Let's face it, water and voltage just don't mix well together! How can you survive during hot weather and a storm when you cannot get immediate service for your ac unit?

Turn your system off at the thermostat. It makes no sense to have an cooling system, that is not functioning properly, run only to further cause problems with the system. If your system is low on refrigerant, it will 'freeze up' causing damage to the componenents and a delay when your air conditioning tech arrives.voltas window ac units Open windows that will create cross-ventilation so that you have air circulating through your home. 5 ton air conditioner 13 seerIf you have ceiling fans, use them.ac outside unit buzzing Dress lightly, layer your clothing for increased comfort.Be sure your AC contractor knows that  you'll be available as soon as the weather clears...and that he/she should keep your service call active so that you don't lose your place for service.

Your outside air conditioning refrigerant line is covered in ice—which seems crazy in Arizona heat. Chances are, the indoor unit’s evaporator coil is frozen solid and cold liquid refrigerant is flowing to the outside unit through the refrigerant line (which is why it’s covered in ice). This is an evaporator coil. DO THIS RIGHT NOW: Turn off your AC and turn the fan setting to “On.” This will unfreeze the evaporator coil and prevent any damage to the compressor (a very expensive part you don’t want to replace). Now, let’s delve into what can cause an evaporator coil to freeze up and what you can do to ensure this never happens again. What causes the evaporator coil to freeze up

An evaporator coil, a group of copper tubes, freezes when the refrigerant flowing through the tubes gets too cold, causing the moisture in the surrounding air to freeze. So what causes the refrigerant to get too cold? Usually, it’s one of two things: Low airflow over the evaporator coil Low amounts of refrigerant What can cause these two problems? Let’s divide the possible causes into things you can solve right away and things you’ll need a technician to solve. Problems you can fix Clogged/dirty air filter—A dirty filter reduces airflow over the evaporator coil, causing it to freeze. Check the filter at least once a month. Closed supply vents—Don’t close supply vents (the vents that blow air out)—even in unused rooms. Closing vents reduces airflow over the evaporator coil. Blocked return vents—Ensure that furniture or curtains aren’t blocking the return vents (the grates where air gets sucked in).  Like closing supply vents, this reduces airflow over the evaporator coil.
