Clean Air Conditioning Coils Keep You Cool All Year Round

Clean Your Coils! Save money and keep comfortable year-round!

Now is the time to think about getting your air conditioning system in shape so you can keep your comfort...and keep your utility bills comfortable, too. It’s a breeze to do when you call on one of the Tampa Air Conditioning professionals at Castellano AC Services for help.

Keeping Cool

You should have your heating, air conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) system checked twice a year for safety and comfort.  For summer’s heat and winter’s chill, one thing is a must: a clean outdoor coil.  To provide cooling in the summer, air conditioners work by moving the hot air in your home to the outside. A refrigerant in the system picks up the heat at the evaporator coil inside the house and takes it to the compressor and condenser outside.  There, the hot air is released and the refrigerant turns back into a liquid and returns through the coil for another batch of heat. Fins in the condenser can become clogged with dust and dirt, which act as insulation and slow the process. The condenser has to work harder, so it uses more electricity.  Eventually, the strain becomes too much and the system fails.  To provide heating in the winter, air conditioning heat pumps work in reverse operation. However, whether for cooling or heating, improper maintenance of the outdoor coil can lead to problems.

A Better Idea from your Tampa HVAC Experts

To maintain year-round comfort, have Castellano AC Services service your system regularly.  It’s your best bet for energy efficiency, safety, and comfort. One of our trained technicians will perform a number of inspections, checks, and tests of the indoor and outdoor components of your HVAC system and clean the condenser with a brush, vacuum, pressure washer, soap, water, steam, or non-acidic cleaner as recommended by the manufacturer.  The HVAC technician will also inspect the outdoor coil fins (straightening them as needed) and he or she will clean and lubricate the condenser fan and motor if necessary. Additionally, the technician will advise of restricted outdoor air flow due to vegetation or other obstructions.
