This is a common symptom that your filter is plugged or your system is low on refrigerant. We recommend that you turn the system off, let it thaw, replace your furnace filter and turn it back on. If it freezes up again, then your system is low on refrigerant, and you will need to call a professional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you have any questions or if you require service, give us a call, we are always standing by to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your central air conditioner isn\u2019t working, don\u2019t p.
