Unfortunately, fixing or repairing your HVAC system is not cheap. I recently observed ice accumulation on my indoor unit. It was an obvious indication that my air conditioner was having problems. So, I immediately called an AC technician to fix it, and he said I simply need to get my AC coil defrosted. When I asked how long does it take for AC coils to defrost, he replied it takes a maximum of 24 hours.
