How Can I Protect My AC Coils From Corrosion?

The air conditioner’s coil is the part of your system where the refrigerant absorbs heat and produces cold air. Mechanical damage and corrosion are the main causes of failure for AC coils. Here are the three top benefits of having your coils coated with a protective coating in Semmes, AL.

1. Extend the Lifespan

Coating your air conditioner’s coils can improve the lifespan of your HVAC system. Coils are of different metals that react to environmental conditions such as wind, rain and corrosive salt air. Coating the coils will protect them from damage from harsh weather and costly HVAC system replacement.

Corrosion reduces the cooling capacity of your system, and this causes it to work harder to cool your home. This increases the wear and tear of your system and may lead to frequent breakdowns. Coating your AC coils reduces the cost of maintenance and ensures that your system lasts longer.

2. Maintain Efficiency

Coating your AC coils will improve the efficiency of your HVAC system. High-quality coatings prevent airborne particles from building up in the coils and blocking the airflow, which may reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system. Coating material prevents this build-up and increases the efficiency of your system, which lowers your monthly energy bills.

Coating your coils with UV-inhibiting coating protects them from the sun. The sun UV rays degrade the coils when exposed for long periods. This may reduce their efficiency and or even the breakdown of the entire system.

3. Increase Comfort

Corrosion of your AC coils leads to reduced heat disbursement, resulting in increased compressor temperature and lower cooling capacity. Higher temperatures in your home reduce your comfort levels. Preventative coating offers an extra layer of protection against corrosive elements reducing frequent downtimes.
