Why the coil matters

Inside the air handler, a cooling system pushes air across the evaporator coil, a block of thin metal fins and tubing. Dust that settles on the fins narrows the gaps the air has to get through.

A dirty coil can make an air conditioner work harder for the same result. The EPA notes that some research suggests cleaning components such as cooling coils and fans may improve the efficiency of a system and help it last longer.

Coil cleaning is part of routine care before the hot months, and it is also a service in its own right for a system whose coil has never been looked at.

  • Dust visible on the coil fins
  • Air from the vents that seems weaker than before
  • A system that runs long to reach the set temperature
  • A coil that has never been cleaned

What you get with Evaporator coil cleaning

  • Fins cleared of dust

    The dust that builds up on the coil is removed so the gaps between the fins are open again.

  • Homes and commercial systems

    Residential units and the coils of commercial HVAC systems in offices, retail stores and restaurants.

  • Before the hot months

    A coil looked at before the California summer is a coil that is not a surprise in July.

  • Part of a full clean

    The coil can be cleaned alone or with the blower, the air handler and the ducts in one visit.

Signs a coil needs a look

These can have other causes too, which is why the coil is worth seeing for yourself.

  • Cooling that feels weaker than it used to
  • Less air coming out of the vents
  • A system that runs for a long time without reaching the set temperature
  • Dust you can see on the coil fins
  • Summer is close and the coil has not been looked at

What a coil visit covers

The parts around the coil that belong to the same cleaning.

  1. The evaporator coil and its fins

  2. The air handler around the coil

  3. The blower components beside it

  4. The ventilation ducts, when you want them included

What coil cleaning will not do

Cleaning removes dust and debris. It does not recharge a system, repair a leak or replace a failed part, and a system that is not cooling can have a cause other than dirt. If we see something that needs a repair, we will say so.

Evaporator coil cleaning questions

What does an evaporator coil do?

It is the part of an air conditioner where the air is cooled. Air passes across its fins, so dust on the fins gets in the way of the air.

When is a good time to clean the coil?

Before the hot months is the usual time, so the system goes into summer with an open coil. A coil that has never been cleaned can be done at any time.

Do you clean commercial coils?

Yes. We clean the evaporator coils of commercial HVAC systems for offices, retail stores, restaurants and other businesses, as well as the coils of homes in West Hills and nearby.

Can the coil be cleaned with the ducts?

Yes. The coil, the blower, the air handler and the ducts can be cleaned together in one visit, or each on its own, depending on what you ask us to cover.
