What This Service Includes
Dirty coils are one of the leading causes of poor cooling performance and high energy bills in Phoenix. We thoroughly clean both outdoor condenser coils and indoor evaporator coils to restore efficiency.
- Visual inspection of outdoor condenser unit
- Remove debris, leaves, and grass clippings from unit
- Professional coil cleaning solution application
- High-pressure rinse of condenser coils
- Straighten bent coil fins where accessible
- Clean evaporator coil (indoor unit)
- Check condensate drain for blockages
- Verify proper airflow after cleaning
- Test system performance improvement
Why Coil Cleaning Matters
In Phoenix's dusty, desert environment, A/C coils get dirty fast. Dirt buildup acts like insulation, preventing proper heat transfer and forcing your system to work harder. The results include:
- Reduced cooling capacity: dirty coils can reduce cooling by 20-30%
- Higher energy bills: system works longer to achieve desired temperature
- Shorter equipment life: extra strain wears out components faster
- Frozen evaporator coils: restricted airflow causes ice buildup
- Compressor failure: overheating from poor heat transfer can kill the compressor
When Coils Need Cleaning
Most Phoenix homes need coil cleaning annually, some twice per year if you have:
- Landscaping close to the outdoor unit
- Trees that shed leaves or cotton
- Pets that shed fur
- High dust exposure from construction or desert winds
- Indoor smokers or excessive cooking
Our Cleaning Process
We use professional-grade coil cleaners that break down dirt and organic buildup without damaging delicate aluminum fins. After chemical application, we carefully rinse from inside-out to push debris away from the coil rather than deeper into it. For the indoor coil, we access through the air handler and ensure proper drainage afterward.
Pricing
- Standard 2 coil cleaning: $249 (condenser + evaporator)
- Condenser (outdoor coil) only: $129
- Evaporator (indoor coil) only: $149
- Add both coils to an annual tune-up: $319 (save $79)
- Severely neglected coils: may require additional time/materials
Ideal Add-On Service
Coil cleaning pairs perfectly with our seasonal tune-up service. Combining both services gives you comprehensive maintenance at a discounted rate and ensures your system is operating at peak efficiency.
Expected Results
After cleaning, most customers notice improved cooling within the first cycle. You should see better airflow, faster temperature drop, and lower thermostat settings needed to maintain comfort. Energy bills often decrease 10-20% after proper coil cleaning.
