Everytime i turn on my air conditioner, the air that comes out is icy. I guess the air must be really cold so it turned icy. What should I do? Can You tell me the problem?

Hi there,

Not sure what your problem is? are you concerned that the A/C is too cold? (that would be a first) if so, have the pressures checked as you may have a faulty T/X (thermal expansion) valve.

It's not that im concerned the air conditioner is too cold. It doesn't seem normal that the air comes out icy looking even though there's no ice to it it just seems weird. I asked some technicians, they said it's something about the frion?

Hi there,

If you have some mist coming from the vents, this is moisture on the heater core gassing off with the A/C i would be checking for a small coolant leak at the heater or a problem with the A/C drain tubes or condensation forming on the core. Start here.
