🚨 Plugged Evaporator Coil? Here’s What You Need to Know 🚨

 

A plugged evaporator coil can cause serious HVAC issues — from poor cooling performance to complete system failure.

 

🔧 What Causes a Plugged Coil?

A plugged coil typically results from:

 

• Dirty air filters that allow dust and debris to bypass and settle on the coil.
• Lack of routine maintenance, leading to grime, mold, or biological buildup.
• Improperly sealed ductwork, which pulls in contaminants from attics or crawl spaces.
• Pet hair, tobacco smoke, or excessive indoor pollutants.

 

 

🌬️ Symptoms You Might Notice:

 

• Weak airflow from vents
• Ice buildup on the coil or refrigerant lines
• Higher energy bills
• Uneven cooling or warm spots in your home

 

 

🛠️ What To Do:

If you suspect your evaporator coil is plugged:

 

1. Turn off the system to prevent further damage.
2. Check or replace your air filter.
3. Call a certified HVAC technician for a thorough coil cleaning and inspection.

 

 

💡 Prevent It Next Time:

 

• Change filters regularly (every 1–3 months).
• Schedule biannual HVAC maintenance.
• Keep vents and return air grilles clean and unblocked.

 

 

A clean coil = efficient cooling + longer system life. Don’t let a small issue turn into a costly repair!
