A/C problem: The line that leads to my unit has ice on it....?
Last night my son decide to mess with the thermostat, but he turned it on heat and 80 degrees. I notice this because of the smell of heat and the house was getting warm. Then he did it again apparently when I went to sleep only he did the opposite he turned it down to 50 degrees on cool. Needless to say, the house started get warm, but I couldn't figure out why so I check the vent I didn't feel any cool air, but I could hear the A/C going. I went to check my lines to make sure they were not blocked because I had that problem before. This when I found the ice on the line that lead to A/C unit outside to the line inside. What damage can this cause?

Try turning the A/C off for awhile until the ice is no longer present. Usually this doesn't cause any permanent damage.

go to your thermostat and turn it on off and only run the fan so the ice can melt...... there's a chance that you coil froze up but the only damage could be mold from the ice melting but you should be ok.

Good chance that liquid was making it way to your pump.
If you see ice on this line ,your indoor coil is froze up.
To clear,just run your blower ALL BY ITSELF for 40 minutes to melt the ice.
Then run as normal.

Your evap. coil could be dirty. If there is no air going across the coil, the suction line will freeze. Call an A/C tech.
