Common Evaporator Coil Problems
Most household air conditioners are comprised of two units: the condenser, or outdoor unit and the evaporator, or the indoor unit. There are a variety of problems that can affect your evaporator coil, but here are the most common.
- Ice Buildup — Ice or frost on your evaporator coil isn’t normal. When you see this, you need to call in a professional for help.
- Blower Motor Failure — Your AC unit’s blower fan sends cool air through the ducts and blows hot air over the evaporator coil to take out the heat. When this unit fails, your air conditioner won’t cool your home properly.
- Dirty Air Filter — Air brought in by the evaporator is filled with dust, pet hair, and other contaminants for the filter to remove. If the filter is dirty, the airflow becomes reduced, which puts more wear and tear on your system.
How to Maintain Your AC’s Evaporator Coils
Everyone with a central AC system should perform annual maintenance on the system to ensure it’s ready to go when you need it. The evaporator coil is another part that needs regular cleaning and maintenance, and here’s how to do it.
- Turn off the unit
- Get access to the coil
- Use compressed air to blow debris away from the coil
- Or use a brush for stubborn dirt
If you’re not handy or worried about damaging your system, contact an AC evaporator coil cleaning service and get the job done by a trained professional.
