Neglected HVAC: Consequences Revealed
These are photos of poorly maintained systems, all of which are in the seven year time frame.
When coils get dirty, the air-flow is restricted and heat transfer can be greatly reduced, causing poor system performance. When these conditions occur, system failure is inevitable.
AC Condenser coils
Unmaintained condenser coils affect heat transfer, causing the compressor to work harder to transfer heat and possibly burn out. An annual preventive maintenance service agreement will eliminate these problems with your heating and air conditioning system.
Evaporator Coils
A dirty evaporator coil can significantly affect air-flow and heat transfer within the system, usually leading to performance issues that ultimately cause the entire system to freeze up. When the evaporator coil is not clean, it obstructs the necessary airflow, which can prevent efficient heat exchange and disrupt the normal operation of the air conditioning unit.
