Reliable AC Installation Service in New Jersey & Pennsylvania

Air conditioners keep us cool in the summer but require regular maintenance. One of the best things you can do for your air conditioner is to have an AC evaporator coil cleaning performed. Preferably, the cleaning occurs at the start of the season in spring. You can also have them cleaned in the fall, after the end of summer. 

You can trust that the skilled technicians with Hutchinson have years of experience dealing with AC evaporator coils. If they find that one is damaged, they can get you a replacement part. This will help lengthen the lifespan and quality of your air conditioner. The last thing you want is for your air conditioner to stop working. 

AC Coil Cleaning

Over time, dust will accumulate on the AC coils of your HVAC system. The environment near your home will also play a part in this. If you live in a dusty area, you may need more frequent cleaning. Thankfully, removing regular dust buildup isn’t difficult and only requires a soft brush.

If the dust is thick or mixed with other contaminants and grime, don’t worry. AC evaporator coil cleaning can also take care of that. Having regular maintenance done on the coils can even prolong the time before you need an AC evaporator coil replacement. 

Evaporator & Condenser Coil Cleaning

When dust builds up on the evaporator and condenser coils, it can cause airflow to be blocked or constricted. This will force the HVAC system to work harder and will increase your energy bills. In the worst-case scenario, you can even deal with overheating and other damaging problems. 

Keeping the evaporator and condenser coils clean is an easy way to save money. But, the task itself can be time-consuming without the right equipment. Luckily, our Hutchinson technicians have everything they need to perform a proper cleaning. We use a combination of manual and air-powered equipment to remove dust, debris, and even mold. 

Common Evaporator Coil Problems

Evaporator coils are essential components of an AC system. If they stop working, you can experience a variety of consequences. Your AC may only blow warm air, emit a foul odor, or not work at all. Here are some signs that you may need AC repairs. 

1. Frozen Evaporator Coils

This is one of the most common problems for an AC to have. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you need an AC evaporator coil replacement. Often freezing evaporator coils are caused by blockages, refrigerant leaks, or even the ambient temperature being too low. 

The technicians at Hutchinson have seen this problem a ton in their careers. They will be able to diagnose the issue and get you the necessary repairs without a problem. It may be that a refrigeration line needs replacing or a clog removed. 

2. Refrigerant Leaks

The refrigerant used in air conditioners is volatile and boils at a very low temperature. This means it is great for cooling air, but if there’s a leak, it will disappear rapidly. These leaks can be anywhere. Even a tiny pinhole in the line will cause the refrigerant to run low. 

The technicians at Hutchinson can find and repair any refrigerant leaks. They are also able to refill your refrigerant so your AC will work the way it is supposed to. Refrigerant leaks can cause the evaporator coils to freeze up or the AC to blow warm air. If you’re experiencing these problems, you need cooling services. 

3. Buildup on the Coils

Over time more contaminants can accumulate on coils. Bacteria, mold, and even organic materials like animal hair can gather. This is one of the reasons why may notice a foul odor emanating from the AC. 

AC evaporator coil cleaning by Hutchinson can get to the bottom of the problem and take care of it. Depending on your situation, you should have it done every three to four months to make sure your air conditioner continues operating at peak efficiency. 

4. Clogged Air Filter

The role of an AC evaporator coil means that there will be air blowing across it. Pulling in and cooling the air can draw a large amount of dust and other particles into the air filter. Over time this will fill up and clog the filter, after which the evaporator coils won’t be able to function. 

Without air being able to move freely across the evaporator coils, your AC will start having problems. This can manifest as a complete failure but often starts off as frozen coils or warm air being emitted from the air conditioner.
