There is no reason to wait until you turn on your air conditioner to discover you have a problem. You may be surprised to learn that an air conditioner does not produce chilly air. An AC system uses a refrigerant to collect heat from the air within your home and then transport that heat to the outside.
This refrigerant circulating procedure removes heat from your home until the inside temperature reaches the temperature you set on your thermostat.
Here you can find out more about why it pays to have Tempe AC maintenance throughout the year.
What Is The Purpose Of An Evaporator Coil?
The evaporator coil in your air conditioning system, which aids in the removal of heat from the air within your home, is a vital part of this process. As a result, when water vapor from your home’s warm air comes into touch with the cold evaporator coil, it transforms into water (liquid form) and collects in the condensate pan.
The water is subsequently drained outside your home through the condensate pan. As a result, your evaporator coil plays a crucial role in reducing humidity in your home. Remember that copper evaporator coils are used because of their excellent heat conductivity.
Evaporator coils, however, leak after years of use, and the most common reason is corrosion of the copper tubing in the coil.
Evaporator coils must be kept clean to function properly as there are a variety of issues, including:
Heat absorption and cooling capacity are reduced.
- Increased usage of energy
- Temperatures and pressures rise
- The accumulation of ice
As a result, keeping your AC evaporator coil clean with Tempe AC maintenance is critical.
What Makes Evaporator Coils Leak?
Leaky Seals
Make sure the evaporator’s seal is intact. The evaporator can leak if the seal is compromised. If this is the case, the seal must be replaced as soon as possible.
Corrosion
Corrosion happens when residual organic chemicals, water, and oxygen cause microscopic holes to form in the evaporator coil after years of operation.
What Can You Do To Prevent An Evaporator Leak?
Rescue One Air recommends changing your air filters regularly, such as once a month, depending on use and the weather.
As a result, your evaporator coils will be less likely to be damaged by debris or the clogging of filters.
