When air conditioners freeze up in Maryland’s humid summers, comfort disappears quickly. One of the most common causes is restricted airflow due to dirty filters or blocked ducts. Without proper airflow, evaporator coils get too cold, and ice builds up. Low refrigerant levels are another culprit, often caused by leaks that require professional repair. Running the AC constantly during extreme heat can also push the system beyond its limits, leading to freezing. Improper thermostat settings or failing blower motors contribute to the problem as well. When coils freeze, the system loses efficiency, airflow drops, and eventually the AC stops working altogether. Maryland homeowners can prevent freeze-ups by regularly changing filters, scheduling annual maintenance, and ensuring vents stay clear. Professional technicians can check refrigerant, inspect coils, and clean components to restore smooth operation. Staying proactive avoids breakdowns and reduces costly repairs. For Maryland families, preventing AC freeze-ups keeps cooling consistent during the hottest, stickiest days of summer.
