Why Should I Care About Evaporator Coils?
Evaporator coils are a small part of your AC unit that plays a major role. Water condensates on the freezing coils, causing it to cool and evaporate into the air. The cool air is then forced out of the system and into your home or office. Troubleshooting malfunctioning evaporator coils is typically a job for our professionals to handle and is easily replaced if necessary.
What Are the Symptoms of a Defective Evaporator Coil?
Evaporator coil issues are fairly easy to diagnose. Timely servicing can make the difference between needing a simple repair or a full replacement. Be on the lookout for leaks, freezes, and odors and know what they mean.
- Leaks: Refrigerant can be harmful, and adding more to your ac unit will not fix the leak. Our professionals will repair or replace the problem, add refrigerant to meet manufacturer specifications, and test that the system is running properly.
- Freezes: The coils tend to run about 32 degrees, making it possible for frost to build up and block cool air production. Cleaning the inner parts of the system usually clears this up.
- Odors: Water that does not evaporate quickly can build up on the fins of your evaporator coils, breeding mold and bacteria that can be blown through your home if left unserviced. Regularly changing air filters can stop this from happening.
The quality of your air hinges on a clean system, and your evaporator coils aren’t the only part that needs to be maintained. Read about our air filter replacement service to keep your family breathing better.
