Evaporator Coil is one of the major components that make up your air conditioning and heating system. The other component is the Condenser.Dirty Evaporator Coil does not mean that your Coil is dirty. It means that it is clogged. When this happens, the air flow through your system is restricted or hindered. This could stop your system from pumping the needed air throughout the area to cool down.
There are a number of reasons you should have your Evaporator Coil cleaned regularly. The most important is comfort. When your Evaporator Coil gets ‘dirty’ or clogged, your air conditioning unit labors to pump the needed cold air throughout the area to cool down.
Not having the right amount of cold air going through the house can cause parts of your home to become hot or uncomfortable to stay in.
Another reason for cleaning your dirty Evaporator Coil is that it could cost you money. As your air conditioning units work, dirt accumulates and if not properly cleaned could cause your system to work continuously thus raising your monthly electricity bill.
Sensors in your air conditioning system alert your A/C unit that the rooms are cool or have reached the set temperature. When this happens, your system turns off. If your system is unable to adequately cool down because your Evaporator Coil is dirty, your unit is forced to operate continuously.
Regular maintenance of an air conditioner eliminates mold and mildew. Mold and mildew thrive in wet, dark environments. When an air conditioner is in use, condensation often forms on the unit's evaporator coils. This moisture from condensation creates the ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow. You can clean off your air conditioner to make the air safer in your coold areas by eliminating sources of allergens, such as mold and mildew spores, and help your air conditioner work better in the process
