Evaporator coils are an integral part of the heat exchange portion of your HVAC unit. Performing periodic maintenance on these coils introduces several benefits all of which translate into saving you money.
-
- Better efficiency. Clean coils allow for optimal heat exchange, letting your system run at peak performance. When the coils become coated with dirt and debris, their ability to perform rapidly degrades. This results in a system that works harder to cool the same amount of air costing you more money.
-
- Longer system life. Filthy coils force your HVAC unit to work harder to perform the same job. The dirtier the coils, the more your system must strain to keep running. This stress causes premature wear on the entire system, not just the parts around the coils. The longer your system is forced to fight, the more damage is done and the sooner you have a serious breakdown or even will end up replacing the system.
-
- Healthier air. You may not realize it, but clean coils mean cleaner air. Filters work fine, but dirt on your coils introduces dust and debris into the system where filters are not designed to catch and remove it. This means that these contaminants get blown back into your building, reducing the overall air quality.
-
- Prevent major issues. While cleaning the coils will keep your system running along at optimal efficiency, the cleaning serves a secondary purpose. During routine maintenance, trained technicians get to inspect the system for potential problems, often catching them early when it is less expensive to address them.
