WHAT DO I DO WHEN MY HEAT PUMP COIL IS FREEZING?

If your condo heat pump coil is freezing, it is likely that there is an issue with the airflow or refrigerant levels in the system. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Turn off the heat pump: If you notice that the coil is freezing, turn off the heat pump to prevent further damage to the system.

  2. Check for ice buildup: If there is ice buildup on the coil, you can try defrosting the system by turning off the heat pump until the ice melts. 

  3. Check the air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause the coil to freeze. Check the air filter and replace it if it is dirty or clogged.

  4. Check the fan: Make sure that the fan is running properly and check if there is reduced airflow.

  5. Call a professional: If you are unable to troubleshoot the issue or if the coil continues to freeze, it is recommended to call a qualified HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

Note: It is important to address a freezing heat pump coil promptly to prevent damage to the system and ensure safe and efficient operation.
