What could be causing a system to freeze up?

There are many reason why your system may be freezing up, most will require a service visit.

If the outdoor unit has to be replaced, should the indoor unit also be replaced?

The units should be replaced together for several reasons. The efficiency rating is based on a matched system. You will have a warranty on both systems. In the end you will save money by replacing both units with the increased efficiency you see on a new system.

What do air conditioning and heat pump ratings mean?

Efficiency ratings - SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is a system for rating the efficiency of cooling equipment. The higher the number, the less it will cost you to operate.

HSPF(Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) is a measurement similar to SEER, but it is measuring the efficiency of the heating part of a heat pump.
