  • Heat Pump Compressor ICY

    Why does the compressor of my heat pump ices up? There is a thick layer of ice around the compressor and the lines feeding in and out of the compressor.

    Can I do anything to prevent the ice build up? Does the system have a problem?

    Thank you

    Its is common your HP should ice up, However only on the coils! Then it should go into defrost mode to defrost the ice from the coil!

    I have an extensive back ground in the HVAC field, I currently work for a local Distributor of HVAC equipment!

    It sounds to me that you are low on refrigerant and you should have a reputable service company come out and have a look at your unit. It is possible that you could have a dirty or clogged coil on the inside unit, This could be an air flow problem also!

    When picking a Company to work on your equipment always ask for references! Don't automatically go with the lowest price,In the end you will pay more!
