With 348 days of sunshine each year, life in the Coachella Valley would be miserable without a reliable air conditioning system. When it comes to cooling, no piece of AC equipment is more important than the evaporator. It's responsible for extracting all that unbearable heat from the air. The evaporator's components must remain clean to operate properly. Palm Desert Air Conditioning and Heating Co. offers the evaporator services you need to ensure your cooling comfort.
How the Evaporator Works
As refrigerant cycles through your AC system, it converts from a liquid to a gas and back again. It reaches the evaporator as cool liquid and changes into a gas as it moves through the cooling coils. As the refrigerant evaporates, it draws heat out of the surrounding air. Connected to the evaporator is a fan that blows air across the metal fins that cover the coils. It's an elegant system that works well as long as all the parts operate as intended.
Signs You Need Evaporator Cleaning
Regular HVAC maintenance helps keep every component in your AC system operating efficiently. In the extreme heat of summer in Coachella Valley, your evaporator needs extra attention. Without proper care, problems can occur that can cause damage to the entire system.
- When dirt collects on the coils, it impedes the evaporation process. The refrigerant inside can become so cold that the coils freeze up. Ice on your cooling coils is a sure sign that you need evaporator cleaning.
- Refrigerant leaks elsewhere in the system also impact the evaporator. When the volume of refrigerant drops, the coils can't sufficiently cool the air. Contact our service technicians for an accurate diagnosis.
- Reduced airflow also impairs the performance of the evaporator's cooling coils. Left unaddressed, this can damage the compressor. Evaporator cleaning or a fan coil replacement may remedy the problem.
