Evaporator Coil Cleaning in Tavares, FL

The evaporator coil inside your air handler is where your air actually gets cooled and dried. In a Florida home it is wet for most of the year, so dust, pet hair and biological growth stick to it and build up. A dirty coil cools less, dehumidifies less, and makes the whole system run longer.

Lucas Air Conditioning and Heating inspects and cleans evaporator coils for homes and businesses across Tavares and Lake County.

• Weak airflow from the vents even with a clean filter
• The house feels clammy or humid at the set temperature
• The system runs longer than it used to
• Ice forming on the coil or the refrigerant lines
• A musty smell when the AC starts

We open the air handler, inspect the coil and drain pan, and clean the coil with a coil cleaner that is safe for the fins and the drain. We also check the blower, the filter fit, and the condensate drain, because a dirty coil usually comes with a dirty pan and a slow drain. Afterward we confirm airflow and temperature split so you can see the difference.

Inspecting the evaporator coil is part of every AC tune-up we do. Changing filters on schedule is the best way to keep the coil clean between visits. If a coil is too dirty or corroded to clean, or is leaking refrigerant, we explain the options, including leak repair or replacement.
