AC coil cleaning probably isn’t on at the top of your mind and most likely will not be a job you love to do. Dirty coils impact how efficient your unit is. Not only that, too much build up can cause your air conditioner to break down. With the summer quickly approaching, you want to ensure nothing breaks down. So if you want cold AC and lower electric bills this summer, read on.

Why proper cleaning is so important

Maintaining clean coils allows for an easier cooling process, meaning your AC system will run more efficiently. Less buildup of dirt will make sure your machine doesn’t have to work as hard, and this will save you money on your AC and electric bill. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your AC system as well. Lack of good care and maintenance may result in repairs and a shorter unit lifespan. Preventative measures will save you money in the long run.

How often do I need to schedule AC coil cleaning?

In most cases AC coil cleaning needs to be completed once per year. This helps ensure your machine runs efficiently. If you live in an abnormally windy or dusty area your AC may need to be checked more often. Heavy use of your AC may also result in more frequent check-us. Older AC systems tend to collect more dust and dirt in shorter time periods than newer machines. Checking up on your system when it seems to run less efficiently is always a great idea. This can prevent larger issues in the future.

How to clean your AC coils

Cleaning your AC coils requires some delicateness. AC coils are fragile and shouldn’t be treated harshly or with the wrong materials. They may bend or break as a result of too much pressure while cleaning. Replacing AC coils can be expensive.

Simply hosing down your AC unit should remove the buildup of dirt. Because coils can damage easily, please consider an expert when stubborn dirt doesn’t move when handling it with water.

Forgetting to remove dirt buildup can be costly, therefore scheduling regular maintenance appointments will ensure your AC lives longer and remains working smoothly.

AC Not Producing Cold Air

It may seem simple, but you likely need service if you HVAC is not producing cold air as it normally does. Often times homeowners assume since it is very hot outside the AC may not blow as cold. This is not the case. If your system is performing properly, it should cool to the temperature you set regardless of how warm it is outside. This is an early indication you may need air conditioning service.

New Noises or Banging

If your ac unit is making new noises we recommend you get someone out ASAP to identify the issue. There are several reasons why this may occur and it is important to get it checked before it becomes a costly repair. Before you call, make sure the area where your unit is is clear of debris. Many times people use the area around their ac unit as a storage closet and noises can because by shifting items. We recommend you keep this area clear at all times to prevent this occurrence and ensure there is proper airflow to your system.

Schedule Maintenance

If you haven’t had any issues come up, great! It is important to have your system looked at once ever 6-8 months a minimum. Just like scheduled maintenance on your car, your HVAC unit needs the same type of care. If we are regularly servicing a unit is much more likely you will receive peak performance and not have issues with the system until it has reached the end of its useful life.

Make sure to follow some simple steps and look for warning signs before it’s too late!

Change Your Filters

We all know it and have heard it: You have to change you air conditioning filters on a regular basis. As we respond to calls it is clear sometimes filters have not been changed in months, years, or possibly ever. This is the single most important task you as a home owner can do to ensure your system (and air quality in your home) stays healthy. As filters begin to break down, they allow dust and other debris into the system. Like anything else, a HVAC system must be maintained. Think of it like changing your oil in your car every 3000 miles. If you don’t do this on time your car loses performance and eventually breaks down with a major repair.

Clean the Drain Line

Keeping your drain line clean is also very important. Although most people know to do this, we still see the issue frequently on calls. Every month it is important to pour a cup of bleach (or vinegar) down the drain line. This prevents mold, mildew and algae from forming in the pipe. If they do form, then the pipes risked getting clogged. When your draining pipe is clogged and the water backs up, the AC unit will not function until it is reset to prevent damage. Keeping the drain line clean is an easy way to prevent a service call and a costly nitrogen blast to clear the lines.

HVAC Repairman

What is an HVAC repairman anyway? That’s the focus of this article because we want to educate the Space Coast on the differences between a true HVAC professional and an untrained handyman. We know it’s unpleasant and costly when your HVAC unit breaks down, but trusting the right professional for the job the first time will save you money in the long run!

What is HVAC

HVAC confuses a lot of people because it covers so many functions. HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Basically, your HVAC system controls the temperature and airflow in your home or business. There are several different manufacturers, types, components and solutions for both residential and commercial use. On the Space Coast, one of the most important functions of your HVAC system is to keep you cool inside! You can learn more about HVAC, specifically the AC portion here.

Professional vs Handyman

We know it is tempting to contact a handyman to try and fix your AC when it stops because you want to save a little money. The truth is though that an untrained professional may very likely cost you more in the long run. Without the proper training to work on an HVAC unit improper parts or techniques may be used that will do more harm than good.
