With summer rapidly approaching, there\u2019s no better time to ensure your air conditioner is up for the challenge of continuous cooling in triple digit heat. For your system to work efficiently, it must be able to transfer heat from inside your home to the outside effectively. If your system\u2019s coils are coated with dirt, dust, and other debris, it can hinder the efficiency of this heat transfer process. This is why coil cleaning, as part of regular HVAC system maintenance, is so important. <\/p>\n
Dirty evaporator and condenser coils can seriously impact the efficiency of your air conditioner. In fact, it can increase your energy consumption by up to 30 percent. This means higher monthly utility bills. As well, dirty coils cause a host of other problems, including poor cooling performance, frozen evaporator coils, and compressor overheating. <\/p>\n
First and foremost, you\u2019ll want to check your air filter at least once a month and replace it when it\u2019s dirty. A dirty air filter allows dust and debris to gather on the evaporator instead of the air filter, preventing airflow in the system. To keep condenser coils clean, you\u2019ll also want to keep vegetation away from the condenser unit. <\/p>\n
Because evaporator and condenser coils can be bent easily, it\u2019s a smart idea to leave the cleaning of coils to the experts. This is something that is performed during routine maintenance. Between visits, you can keep your condenser coils clean by removing large debris and rinsing the coils with a hose, after shutting the power off. The evaporator is more difficult to access and should be cleaned by an air conditioning contractor. <\/p>\n
Along with coil cleaning, regular maintenance also includes identifying and addressing issues that have the potential of turning into major problems. With twice-yearly maintenance, you will not only extend the life of your HVAC system, you\u2019ll also keep your utility costs in check.<\/p>\n
