AC Coil Cleaning Shreveport
Are you noticing that it takes your HVAC System longer to heat in the winter or to cool down in the summer? Do you have pets that shed lots of hair or have a high dust environment? This might mean that your HVAC System needs AC Coil Cleaning Shreveport.
Why is AC Coil Cleaning Shreveport needed?
Inside of your HVAC system, hair, pet dander, dirt and dust collect. This creates an environment where bacteria, dust mites, mold and allergens grow and thrive. There may be fungus, pollen and pest feces that collects there, as well. Since all of this is hidden from view, except during HVAC Service, having a dirty system isn’t usually on anyone’s mind.
Dirt, in fact, is a primary cause cause for premature failure. Cleaning your condenser coils, evaporator coils and heater is an important part of regular HVAC Maintenance. Air Care’s experts are available to take a look at your system and make sure that it performs reliably!
You should have your HVAC System cleaned regularly because:
- Dirt restricts your HVAC system’s cooling and heating — During winters, dirt-clogged heat exchangers can’t heat the air very efficiently. In summers, the dirt-clogged condensing coils can’t cool the air. These conditions increase the system’s run time, demanding it to use more energy and fuel to heat and cool your house.
- Dirt restricts air flow — If the motor or blower fan cannot turn due to the dirt or air filter gets clogged with dust, then your HVAC system can’t effectively circulate any of the cooled or warmed air throughout the house. It is still going to run for a longer course and use up more energy.
- The HVAC takes more time to cool/warm the air — This may be an indicator that costs your dearly. The longer the HVAC system runs the more wear and tear it suffers (apart from increasing your energy bills, of course). From AC compressors to motor bearings, hydro pumps and burners, long running times can reduce the overall life span of an HVAC system and its parts. You may wear out your HVAC system sooner.
- Dust appears quicker on surfaces — No matter how diligently you dust and clean your house, dirty air ducts will continue to spread dust particles in the air. These can include fine particulate contaminants and dangerous allergens that quickly flow from one room to another and cover your smart phones, table surfaces and kids’ toys.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning Shreveport
Issues Caused by a Dirty Evaporator Coil
Since the Evaporator is where the cooling takes place, it is one of the most important parts of the system. An evaporator that is covered in dirt and crud has a tougher time doing it’s job. The dirt forms a barrier layer, causing the cooling to be less efficient. Lower efficiency means: 1. Higher Energy Consumption and 2. More Wear and Tear. A dirty system has to work longer and harder at cooling the air.
Another issue that can be caused by a dirty Evaporator Coil is ice forming on the coils. Some might think, “Ice…so it’s cold, of course it gets ice”. However ice forming on the coils is a sign of restricted airflow across the coils, interfering with the cooling of the air.
The dirt from evaporator coil can also drop and collect and clog the condensate drain. This results in water leaking from the air handler.
Evaporator Coils can either be cleaned in-place, or pulled and removed for cleaning. Our technicians will discuss the status of your Evaporator Coil and the best route to take to get it cleaned. Changing your air filter regularly is the best way to keep your Evaporator Coil as clean as possible.
Condenser Coil Cleaning Shreveport
Issues Caused by a Dirty Condenser Coil
As we said with the Evaporator Coil, a condenser that is covered in dirt and crud has a tougher time doing it’s job. The dirt forms a barrier layer, causing the heat dissipation to be less efficient. Lower efficiency means: 1. Higher Energy Consumption and 2. More Wear and Tear. A dirty system has to work longer and harder at cooling the air, on both the condenser and evaporator.
Condenser Coils are generally easier to clean. Our technicians will discuss the status of your system, and advise you on proper maintenance.
