Is there a reason why you would have ice build up around the pipes for your air conditioner?

Several things can cause this. A clogged filter, bad/dirty blower, dirty fins on outdoor condensing unit or the fan in the outdoor condensing unit not running or not running properly can all cause poor air flow and cause ice on the pipes. Low coolant level can also cause this. So, try the easy things like cleaning it and changing the filter first and see if that helps. If it doesn't, a tech will probably have to come out to recharge the unit and look for a leak.
