Cleaning a/c evaporator coil can save you money!
An air conditioners condenser coils work hand in hand with the compressor. The compressor literally squeezes the refrigerant into a hot, pressurized liquid. The hot liquid then travels into the condenser and circulates within its many coils. The heat from the liquid escapes through the condenser’s fins. When the continuously cooling fluid reaches the end of the condenser’s coils, it is considerably cooler but still a pressurized liquid. The working fluid then flows through a valve with a small diameter opening and leaves the condenser as a mist. The liquid evaporates into a gas as it leaves the condenser and enters the evaporator. As the liquid evaporates, it draws heat out of the air around the coils and cools it. The air conditioner’s fan circulates this cooled air through the ducts of the home or business resulting in a cooler, more comfortable environment for it’s occupants..
“A dirty or uncleaned compressor coil costs you money every month!”
Dirty a/c coils badly in need of cleaning.
“A 10 year old air handler that finally needed to be cleaned by a chemical designed to clean this type of coil.
It’s kind of like the way “oven off ” works cleaning your oven.
We let the chemical clean the coil and rinse it off with a hose.
This is a during and after picture of this coil being cleaned.”
This recently cleaned evaporator coil will allow the the rest of the equipment to do it’s job efficiently!

This is usually not something that needs to be cleaned every year. Depending upon the type of filter being used, conditions of environment the system is working in , dirt, dust, location of filter in home ie ceiling or lower wall and temperature thermostat is set at. The lower the temperature the more hours of operation the faster the filter and evaporator coil gets dirty. What is important is to have it checked with some regularity! While we recommend servicing air conditioning equipment twice a year we realize most people are going to push it a little farther to save a few dollars, however, a dirty evaporator coil can impact your electric bill to the extent that you end up paying more on your electric bill than you would have for the servicing …
