The heart of indoor cooling in Orlando, Florida

Evaporator Coil Replacement

The evaporator coil sits inside your indoor air handler. As warm household air passes over it, cold refrigerant inside the coil absorbs the heat and pulls moisture out of the air. When the coil fails, cooling and humidity control both suffer.

Evaporator coil replacement for Orlando homes

Evaporator coil replacement from Orlando Cool Air Solutions starts by confirming the coil is truly the problem, then explaining what replacing it involves and how it fits with the rest of your system.

Signs of a failing evaporator coil

Refrigerant leaks
A confirmed leak in the coil itself, often from corrosion over time.
Weak cooling
The system runs but the air from the vents is not as cool as it should be.
Ice on the coil
Frozen coils that keep coming back even after airflow problems are addressed.
Rising humidity indoors
A sticky feeling inside even when the temperature looks right.
Hissing near the air handler
A faint hiss can point to refrigerant escaping.

What coil replacement involves

Replacing an evaporator coil means recovering the refrigerant, removing the old coil from the air handler or plenum, installing a compatible new coil and reconnecting the refrigerant lines. The system is then evacuated, charged correctly and tested.

Because the coil must match the outdoor unit, the age and type of your system matter. On older equipment, a coil failure is a good moment to compare a coil replacement with replacing the whole system, and you will get that comparison clearly.

Coils in a humid climate

In Orlando, an indoor coil works hard removing moisture almost every day of the year. Keeping filters clean and drain lines clear helps the coil stay free of buildup that can make the whole system work harder.
