FREEZE STAT REQUIRED FOR AIR CONDITIONING
A freeze stat MUST be installed for systems that have air conditioning to
minimize the chance of the hot water coil freezing during a call for
cooling. The freeze stat typically opens at 38˚F, closes at 60˚F, and is
wired to interrupt the A/C compressor operation.
Mount the freeze stat on the suction line of the cooling coil and wrap with
cork tape covering both the stat and the suction line.
If the freeze stat is not securely fastened and insulated to the suction line
the compressor may not shut off if the evaporator coil freezes up.
