Coil Cleaning
Coil cleaning is the process of removing dirt, dust, and debris from the evaporator and condenser coils of your air conditioning system. These coils play a vital role in heat transfer, and keeping them clean ensures efficient operation and optimal air conditioning performance.
​
There are two main types of coils in your AC system:
-
Evaporator coil: Located indoors, this coil absorbs heat and moisture from the air circulating through your home.
-
Condenser coil: Located outdoors, this coil releases the absorbed heat from the evaporator coil into the external environment.
​
Benefits of Coil Cleaning:
-
Improved Efficiency: Clean coils allow for better heat transfer, resulting in your AC system working less to maintain the desired temperature. This translates to lower energy bills.
-
Enhanced Comfort: A clean system ensures proper cooling and dehumidification, leading to a more comfortable indoor environment.
-
Reduced Strain on System: Dirty coils force the AC unit to work harder, which can lead to premature wear and tear. Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of your system.
-
Better Air Quality: Dust and debris buildup on the evaporator coil can restrict airflow and trap allergens, impacting indoor air quality. Cleaning helps remove these contaminants.
​
Signs You Might Need Coil Cleaning:
-
Reduced Cooling Performance: If your AC system struggles to maintain the desired temperature, dirty coils could be the culprit.
-
Increased Energy Bills: A less efficient system due to dirty coils will consume more energy to achieve the same cooling effect.
-
Uneven Airflow: Restricted airflow from clogged coils can lead to uneven cooling in different parts of your home.
-
Visible Dirt Buildup: If you can see dust, grime, or debris on the outdoor condenser coil, it's likely the evaporator coil is dirty as well.
