What is the Condenser Coil?

The condenser coil is part of your air conditioning system, located on the outdoor condensing unit. It collects heat from indoors and releases it outside. The refrigerant coils absorb heat and moisture and if heat cannot escape it can lead to issues with your air conditioner.

Effects of a Dirty Condenser Coil

Condenser coils are highly prone to dirt and debris buildup. If not regularly maintained dirty condenser coils can cause many issues. Dirty condenser coils make your system work harder, increasing your energy bill, but also lowering the lifespan of your system. If the condenser coils are dirty, then the compressor works harder which adds excessive heat to the system and results in a loss of cooling capacity. It can also lead to other components failing in the system. Furthermore, dirty condenser coils can create a breeding ground for mold and other bacteria for mold and bacteria decreasing indoor air quality.

Benefits of Cleaning Condenser Coils

Dirty condenser coils work harder than necessary to deliver air, which increases your energy usage leading to higher bills. Dirty condenser coils cannot release heat efficiently. With routine cleaning, you can help ensure your system is running smoothly, therefore reducing your energy consumption and saving you money on electricity bills.
