Signs You Need Evaporator Coil Service

Even though your ac unit may not seem to need repairs, there are some other signs to look out for when it comes to your evaporator coil, such as:

Refrigerant Leaks – If you notice that your AC system is leaking refrigerant, simply adding more refrigerant won’t solve the problem. In this situation, you need a trained technician to come out and repair the leak before testing and recharging the system.

Unpleasant Odors – When air is cooled, it attracts water vapor that can condense and drip onto the coil. In most situations, the moisture evaporates before any harm can be caused, but bacteria and mold can build up when there is an issue. This can then spread a foul smell throughout your home.

Frozen Coils – Your system’s evaporator coils are naturally cold—even at freezing. That means if the water stays on the coil for long enough, it will freeze. If this ice persists, it will block all of the airflow, which means no more cool air into your home or business.
