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.

How Long Does It Take to Defrost AC Coils?

Complete defrosting of AC coils can take 1 to 24 hours. However, the following aspects determine the precise timing.

  • The unit's size, 

  • Outside temperature and 

  • The amount of ice accumulation.

Significant ice buildup could take the entire day, whereas moderate freezing might only take an hour or two.

How to Unfreeze Your AC Unit Fast?

  1. Switch the thermostat to OFF from COOL.

  2. Switch the fan ON.

  3. Inspect your AC filter and change it if necessary. If the AC filter is clean, before turning on the air conditioner, contact a professional AC Technician.

This is all he informed me on how long to defrost AC coil.
