A common misconception is that AC systems "make" cold air. In reality, the system works by absorbing heat and expelling it outside. And the part of your AC that allows that heat transfer is the evaporator coil. It's the beating heart of your AC unit. Without it, the whole system is nonfunctional.
For the evaporator coil to function efficiently, refrigerant needs to flow freely throughout its pipes. A neglected evaporator coil can reduce your AC's operating efficiency by 30% or more and make a big dent in your utility bill. What's more, it can lead to an evaporator coil leak, which can be a costly repair.
Evaporator coils are dirt magnets as a result of their design and functioning. They collect dirt quickly, and even with a good filter, they'll get clogged up with dirt rather easily. The dirt effectively insulates the coils and prevents heat exchange, severely compromising your AC's performance.
How can you tell if an evaporator coil is bad?
The air coming out of your AC is warm. One of the most common causes of your AC not cooling is a shot evaporator coil.
Any signs of refrigerant leaks around the AC unit.
Your AC system doesn't turn on at all. The evaporator coil doesn't always cause this, but it's a common symptom.
You can hear hissing or banging from the AC or any other unusual noises.
Your AC system has fits and false starts and turns off frequently without cooling your home.

DIY or Hire professionals for Coil Cleaning?
Whether it's a bad evaporator coil or any other air conditioning system issue, you should be careful about DIY repairs. Some components in an AC unit are highly pressurized, and others need to be calibrated within a tight tolerance to function correctly.
Evaporator coils eventually degrade both from the outside and from within as the metal pipes wear down from exposure. So even if your problem isn't tied to a leak, it may mean that a leak is imminent. One of our professionals will help you figure out the best ways to prevent future malfunctions.
In the worst-case scenario, your evaporator coil will need to be replaced entirely. Replacing a coil can be tricky and can lead to significant damage to your unit if it's not done properly. When in doubt, leave it to the pros at Above & Beyond Air Conditioning & Heating.
