Evaporator & Condenser Coil Cleaningin Kendall, FL
Deep cleaning of indoor and outdoor coils to restore airflow, cooling capacity and efficiency.
Evaporator & Condenser Coil Cleaning for Kendall buildings
Homes in West Kendall sit close to the Everglades, where humidity and afternoon storms are heavier than on the coast. Clogged condensate drains, lightning-damaged capacitors and control boards are the calls we see most out here. A surge protector and a float switch are inexpensive protection on any system in the area.
Heat leaves your house through two coils. The indoor evaporator coil absorbs it and the outdoor condenser coil releases it. A layer of dust, lint or grass clippings on either one acts as insulation, so the system runs longer, cools less and puts more strain on the compressor.
Outdoor coils near the coast also collect salt, which corrodes the aluminium fins if it is not rinsed away.
When coils need cleaning
- Weak cooling even though the system runs constantly
- Ice forming on the indoor coil
- Visible dirt or matted debris on the outdoor unit
- A musty smell from the vents
- The system ran without a filter, or after renovation work
How we clean coils
- We shut off power and remove the panels to reach the coil.
- We apply a coil-safe cleaner and rinse from the inside out.
- For badly fouled indoor coils, we remove the coil and clean it outside the air handler.
- We reassemble and measure the improvement in temperature drop and pressures.
Evaporator & Condenser Coil Cleaning in Kendall: questions
Can I hose down the outdoor unit myself?
A gentle rinse with a garden hose from the top down is fine with the power off. Do not use a pressure washer, which flattens the fins and blocks airflow.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
