Best Answer

A filter with high resistance to air flow, as in high efficency types, may cause the coil to freeze. This is dependant on the system air flow. A more restrictive filter will reduce the airflow and MAY cause the airflow to be insufficent and cause the coil to freeze. Note: coil freeze ups will cause compressor damage. An expensive repair.

A knowlegeable service technician can check your system air flow and determin if a high efficency type will be an issue or not.

What is wrong with unit if it freeze?

There could be a couple of issues. The main one is that the system is probably low on freon. This happens if there is a leak in the system somewhere. The other is that you are not getting enough air across the coil inside the unit. If the blower seems to be running fine and the filter is clean it is low on freon.
