At BMB & Sons, we clean evaporator coils to restore your air conditioner’s cooling capacity and protect the equipment from avoidable damage.
Your evaporator coil is where cooling actually happens. Warm air passes over it, refrigerant inside absorbs the heat, and cooled air returns through your ducts. Because the coil sits directly in the path of your return ducts and stays cold and wet during operation, dust, pet dander, and fibers stick to it rather than passing through.
That buildup blocks heat transfer and restricts airflow, so your system runs longer, costs more to operate, and can freeze up entirely. The damp debris also becomes a place where mold and bacteria grow, which is often the source of the musty smell when the AC first turns on.
Our technicians open the air handler cabinet and clean the coil carefully, choosing the right method for its condition, and we check the condensate drain line and pan while we’re there. Regular filter changes slow buildup but won’t prevent it, so most South Jersey homes benefit from a coil inspection during annual maintenance.
If you notice any of the signs below, contact BMB & Sons today. We’ll inspect your coil, explain what we find, and get your system cooling properly again.
