Signs of Evaporator Coil Issues
There are many ways you can possibly tell if your evaporator coil has an issue. A few of these symptoms are:
- Higher Energy Costs – When the evaporator coil doesn’t allow for efficient cooling, your system has to work harder to get to the desired temperature. This leads to larger energy usage and higher bills.
- Warm Air Coming From Vents – The evaporator coil helps to cool air, so if the air coming from your vents feels warmer than it should then the evaporator coil could be the issue.
- Rattling/Odd Sounds – AC systems always make a little noise, but if you hear strange sounds then it could be a sign of an issue.
The Evaporator Coil’s Role
Before we get into the replacement process, we’ll quickly explain what an evaporator coil does. The evaporator coil is part of the indoor unit of your AC system, and its job is to turn liquid refrigerant into a gas in order to create cool air. Once the evaporator coil creates cool air, fans allow it to flow through your home. People sometimes confuse evaporator coils with condenser coils, which are housed in the outdoor unit.
Repair vs. Replace
Many people are faced with a tough dilemma when their evaporator coil has an issue. Sometimes an evaporator coil can be repaired, but often they must be replaced. If a repair is possible, our technicians can discuss the pros and cons with you to determine the right choice for your needs. Further, sometimes people choose to replace the entire system rather than just the coil if the unit itself is older. In any case, we can discuss the pros and cons with you and help you make an informed decision based on your needs.
