How often should evaporator coils be cleaned?

Evaporator coils should be cleaned every one to two years, with a yearly inspection. Homes with pets, heavy dust, or long run times often need cleaning every year.

What happens if you never clean your evaporator coil?

Cooling gets weak, run times stretch out, and energy bills climb. Ice can form on the coil, water can leak from the drain pan, and the compressor takes on strain it was not built for.

Can a dirty evaporator coil stop my AC from cooling?

Yes. A coated coil cannot absorb heat from your air. The system keeps running, but the house never reaches the temperature you set.

Why is there ice on my indoor AC unit?

Ice usually means airflow across the coil has dropped too far. A dirty coil or a clogged filter is the common cause. Shut the system off and let it thaw before running it again.

How do I keep my evaporator coil clean between visits?

Change your air filter on schedule. Keep the vents open and the area around the indoor unit clear. That handles most of the dirt before it ever reaches the coil.
