What money you think you might be saving by trying to complete a coil cleaning service yourself will be easily be doubled when you need to call for AC repair service. While you may think it is an easy job of wiping or blowing away dust, the fact is the buildup on the coils may be more difficult. Moisture or any small oil contaminants may have built up on the coils. Clearing this grime off will take a tough cleaning solution and special cleaning equipment. Any muscle you put in to clean the coils could easy damage their fragile structure. And, any tough grease-cutting formula you use may hurt the coils functionality. |

Here are some of the issues associated with coil buildup: Permanent compressor and coil damage – the unit’s manufacturer is assuming you are performing regular maintenance and dirty or not properly cleaned coils may affect warranties Reduced air flow and decreased efficiency – reduction of cooling efficiency by around 30% Reduced air quality – air flowing over the coils can pick up the clogging contaminants Increased energy consumption – as the motor and other parts need to work harder to overcome the decreased air flow |
