We have dogs and a dog sitter so we leave the thermostat set at a reasonable temp. There was little to no air coming out of the vents. The outside unit was running and the inside blower was on. I noticed the line on the outside was frozen up. I turned it off for the night and went out this morning and it had all melted. I turned the unit back on and a little bit of air is coming from the vents. I think it may be a bit more than last night and it is cold air. Does this sound like a low freon issue or something with the blower? Does it usually happen overnight because we have never had an issue before. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Dag302</b> <br /><small>Member # 4682</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,5,7,14,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I just noticed there is water dripping from the blower area in the furnace.
