Summer is when homeowners really ramp up AC use. Before increasing usage, however, we suggest cleaning the air ducts and furnace. This also includes cleaning of the evaporator coil, also known as the A-coil. Find out why A-coil cleaning is integral for caring for your HVAC.

The A-Coil Explained

The A-coil is a triangular tube located above the furnace. Air moves past this part before escaping through the vents and into the living space. The air flows across the coil when either the AC or furnace is switched on.

Due to the constant movement of air, the coil surface is prone to contamination. It can collect dust, pet dander, insect remains, and allergens invisible to the naked eye.

Why A-Coil Cleaning Is Necessary in King County

Homeowners can conduct a visual examination of the coil if it’s not encased. If you see dust and grime, then there is a high likelihood the air filter is just as in dire need of cleaning. When a filter is clogged, larger debris is able to make its way in and cling to the coil. If the coil is visibly dirty, then you need to arrange professional servicing.

A-coil cleaning is not a task for the homeowner. The procedure requires commercial tools, such as a high-pressure air wand or non-rinsing coil cleaner.

A Dirty A-Coil Induces Mold Growth

Mold growth in the ducts is also a major concern during the hotter months. A dirty A-coil/evaporator coil causes mold spores to proliferate. The coil is also susceptible to condensation. Moisture combined with dust mites further encourages the harmful spread of fungi growth, including dangerous black mold.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
