Benefits of Timely Evaporator Coil Services

It’s not always possible, but catching an issue with your evaporator coil before it turns into a larger issue can have many advantages. Some of the benefits include:

Savings

Detecting an issue with your evaporator coil early can be the difference between repair and replacement. The most cost-effective option is to repair the evaporator coil while it’s still under warranty and before the issue becomes too severe. If the repair cost is estimated to be too expensive, it can be more cost-effective to replace the coil.

Comfort

To ensure your home remains comfortable — without any interruptions — you should replace or repair your AC evaporator coils regularly.

Energy reduction

Keeping the evaporator coil functioning properly can ensure your air conditioner is running efficiently, which can help lower your utility bills and make your AC system more eco-friendly.

Common Problems Associated with Evaporator Coils

There are certain issues that can be associated with evaporator coils. Some of the problems might include:

Refrigerant leaks

If you have a refrigerant leak, you need a trained professional to repair the issue. The AC expert will test the leak after repairing, and charge with the recommended amount of coolant based on manufacturer suggestions.

Unpleasant odors

Bacteria and mold on the fins of the evaporator can cause a foul smell throughout your home when air is circulating. This occurs because when air is cooled, it attracts water vapor and the vapor condenses and drips onto the coil. Usually, evaporation removes the moisture before any harm has been caused. However, if the moisture remains too long, foul-smelling bacteria and mold will form.

Frozen coils

Evaporator coils hover around 32° F, which is the point at which water freezes. Water that remains on the coils for too long will freeze, and the blades will begin to coat with ice. Frost can cause serious performance problems in the air conditioning unit.

Easy Maintenance Steps to Prevent AC Evaporator Coil Issues

To keep your air conditioner coil functioning well, you should perform regular maintenance. Some tasks you can do are:

Keep the coils clean and dry.
Remove debris that comes in contact with the unit.
Have the air conditioning unit serviced at least once a year prior to the summer months.
Check for clogs or leaks in your air ducts.
Change or clean your air filters regularly. Dirty and clogged filters reduce efficiency, increase operating costs, and can spread indoor pollutants around your property.
