Central Air unit line is iced inside and outside of the house. What may have caused this and what are the possible solutions? Any help would be appreciated - it is the 8th day of 90+ degrees in a row!

is caused by lack of airflow (load) across the coil, or low charge. first be sure the filter is clean, check blower wheel for buildup, and if at all possible, the evapcoil. if all is clear, refrigerant charge/leak detection is in order. if it is frozen now, turn the fan to ON and systen to OFF this will help thaw the coil out quicker.

Thank you for your quick response. The refrigerant lines were iced and the evaporator coil was also iced. I thawed them out and turned the unit back on. It seemed to respondto that. Plus I made sure the blower was operating. In your e-mail you said it might need a refridgerant check. If you have anymore more suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Again! P.S. By chance were you a Marine. HOOORA!
