Why Do HVAC & AC Coils Need To Be Cleaned And Restored?

Essentially, your coil needs to be cleaned or restored for two reasons. First, they are dirty, and second to improve the efficiency of your system. When dirt, grime, biofilm, microbial or bacterial growth build up on your AC coils, you need to get them cleaned. The microbial growth on your coil can lead to damage and an inefficient system.

If you do not regularly maintain your system, it will become highly inefficient. We have seen our coil restoration process result in cleaner air and a system that is up to 30% more efficient. Your HVAC coils need to be restored and maintained in order for your office building, hospital, or school to maintain efficiency and effectiveness.

HVAC Condenser Coil Vs. Evaporator Coil

While the two coils are similar, they operate in the exact opposite way. A condenser coil releases heat into the outdoor air. In contrast, the evaporator coil picks up heat from the indoor air. These two coils work in unison, making large AC units effective for commercial buildings that have a large amount of air that needs to be continually cooled.

Reasons Your HVAC Coil Needs To Be Repaired Or Replaced

There are a lot of ways your HVAC Coil can become damaged. Whether it is a condenser coil or an evaporator coil, both are susceptible to damage that will hinder your AC system’s daily operation.

1. HVAC Coil Leak

A leak in your AC coil is typically caused by corrosion or direct damage that can be caused by hail or poor installation. An AC evaporator coil is made with a lot of copper. The copper will react with particulates in the air or with the large amount of moisture that regularly builds up on the surface of the coil.

If you do not repair a coil leak, the refrigerant which circulates in the coil will start to leak out. The coil will become more and more inefficient, and soon, your entire AC system will not be able to cool the air. An AC Coil leak will occur at your office building, hospital, or school if you do not maintain it.

2. Frozen HVAC Coil

A frozen AC coil will result in the system not producing cool air. The coil becomes coated with ice, and the air is not able to come in contact with the coil to be cooled appropriately. The HVAC coil might take up to 24 hours to thaw if you leave them to thaw out on its own. Typically, AC coils freeze because of a lack of airflow. A lack of airflow is caused by dirt and dust buildup within your HVAC system.
