When a system quits blowing cool air, the cause is not always a part you can swap at the outdoor unit. In September, a Van Buren homeowner called because the system had stopped sending cool air. Our technician did a full system check and safety check.
What Our Technician Found
Inside the indoor unit, the evaporator coil (the indoor coil that cools the air) was packed with dirt. That coil is where the system pulls heat out of your home’s air. When it is clogged with dirt and debris, air cannot get through, cooling drops off, and the coil can even start to freeze.
This visit was to find the problem. We took photos of the coil and went over them with the homeowner so they could choose the next step, usually a professional coil cleaning or more indoor repairs, depending on how hard the coil is to reach and how bad it is.
What We Completed
- Did a full system check and safety check.
- Looked over the indoor system after it quit blowing cool air.
- Found a very dirty indoor coil and took photos of it.
- Went over what we found and the options with the homeowner.
The Result
The homeowner now knows the real cause: the indoor coil is too dirty to do its job. A repair or a deep cleaning is the next decision. Learn more about our AC repair service.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Filters are not the whole story. A coil can still get dirty when filters are changed, especially over years of dust.
- Dirty coils cut cooling. The system may run all the time and the house can still feel warm.
- Photos make the decision easier. Seeing the coil helps you understand why cleaning or more work is needed.
