Is your AC as cool as you?
It’s not cool when your air conditioning system breaks down and you can be assured it will be on the weekend on the hottest day of the summer 😊 .
One thing our technicians consistently see at Alpine Heating & Cooling are clogged AC coils that lead to AC units not cooling like it used to it. In most cases this can be cured and/or prevented with a simple AC cleaning. This will save money over the lifetime of your AC unit by avoiding those costly emergency AC repairs!
Air conditioning coils, what are they ?
AC units have two types of coils: evaporator and condenser coils. If either coil is dirty or clogged it will dramatically decrease the efficiency and effectiveness of your AC unit.
Below is a brief description of what roles the evaporator and the condenser coils play in keeping your home cool.
CONDENSER COIL (located in the outdoor unit) releases the excess heat from your home to the outside. The condenser coil is very susceptible to build up from weather, dirt, leaves, etc…
EVAPORATOR COIL - absorbs heat and humidity from your home and is part of the air handler unit (indoor air conditioning unit).
Can dirty coils hurt your air conditioning system’s reliability?
When your air conditioning coils are covered with debris, it creates a barrier between the air that’s blown over the coils and the refrigerant inside the coils that absorbs and releases heat. This barrier causes heat transfer to become less effective. This will cause your unit run longer and with more pressure.
How often should I have my AC unit cleaned and what is the cost ?
We at Alpine Heating & Cooling recommend air conditioner cleaning at minimum annually. If you live in a wooded area or another area that produces dust or additional debris we recommend twice a year.
