Homeowners should put Condenser Coil Cleaning on their to-do list.
Just like any other component of your HVAC system, it’s very important to keep condenser coils clean and well-maintained in order to ensure proper function and efficiency. Improper cleaning of condenser coils can have negative consequences that may damage your system. The best way to ensure your condenser coils are cleaned properly and thoroughly is to schedule your service with Fix It!®.
About Condenser Coil Cleaning
Condenser coils have a very important job. It’s up to them to release heat outside in order to cool your home. Dirt and other debris that builds up in the coils over time can act as an air flow deterrent, as an insulation blanket, or both. This loss of heat transfer results in a cooling loss, which leads to higher energy bills.
The Fix It!® condenser coil cleaning process includes:
- Assessment of condenser contaminant level
- Identifying proper location-specific condenser coil cleaning methods
- Scheduling appropriate maintenance frequency
- High-volume, low-pressure water cleaning with state of the art equipment
- Before and after pictures are provided so you can see the difference
Why are Clean Coils Important?
Dirty coils can cut the life expectancy of your HVAC equipment by making your units work harder than normal to do their job. When HVAC units are forced to work harder than necessary they: increase the cost of your utility bills, effect output air quality, and impact the comfort level of your facility’s occupants.
The U.S. Department of Energy claims that compressor energy consumption can increase by as much as 30% due to dirty compressor coils. How does this happen? Over time, foreign particles can build up on the condensing unit coils and evaporator coils of your HVAC units. These foreign particles act as coil insulators which inhibit the free flow of air through the coils and decrease the rate of heat transfer between the coil and the air. The more efficient your HVAC system is (higher the SEER rating), the more likely it will benefit from regular cleaning to maintain peak efficiency.
When you turn to Fix It!®, you can rest assured that we will clean your condenser coils the right way!
