Frozen AC Unit Repair in Garland, TX
A frozen AC unit happens when ice builds up on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines, usually because airflow is restricted or refrigerant levels are off. The unit stops cooling, water drains onto floors when the ice melts, and running the system in that condition causes compressor damage. Thawing the ice is the first step, but that's not the repair — finding what caused the freeze is. We identify whether restricted airflow, low charge, or a failing blower is responsible.

When to Call
When You Need Frozen AC Unit Repair
- You can see ice on the copper lines coming out of your air handler

- Water is dripping from the ceiling or pooling around the indoor unit
- The system keeps freezing up overnight when Garland summer humidity is highest
How It Works
Our Process for Frozen AC Unit Repair
- 1
Safe Shutdown and Thaw
We shut the compressor off and run the fan only to melt ice safely without flooding the drain pan or damaging the coil.
- 2
Root Cause Diagnosis
Once thawed, we check static pressure, filter condition, refrigerant charge, and blower motor speed to find what triggered the freeze.
- 3
Repair
We fix the identified cause — whether that's adding refrigerant, clearing a blocked drain, replacing a weak blower capacitor, or another fix.
- 4
System Restart and Monitoring
We restart the system and watch temperatures, pressures, and airflow for at least 15 minutes to confirm it won't freeze again.
Garland Context
Why this matters in Garland
Garland's summer humidity means frozen coils produce a lot of water fast when they thaw. Homes with older drain lines or pan floats that don't work are at real risk of ceiling or floor water damage from a freeze event.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
If a refrigerant leak caused the freeze, repair cost depends on where the leak is located and how much access is required. Some coil leaks require replacement rather than repair, which changes the scope significantly.
