AC unit freezing up — Limassol, Limassol
Ice forming on your air conditioner's evaporator coil or refrigerant lines signals restricted airflow or a refrigerant issue. Running a frozen unit can damage the compressor — the most expensive component. An HVAC technician can safely thaw the system, find the cause (dirty filter, low refrigerant, or a failing blower), and prevent repeat freeze-ups.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Air conditioning runs effectively year-round in Limassol, not just in summer, so AC failures are disruptive in any season and outright emergencies for short-term rental hosts in July–August (32–38°C). Salt-air corrosion along the dense coastal strip accelerates outdoor condenser degradation. F-Gas certified technicians (EU regulation) are required for refrigerant handling.
