What Causes an Evaporator Coil to Fail

Seated inside the air handler, the evaporator coil is where refrigerant draws heat out of the air — the component that actually makes your home cold. Over the years, coils develop pinhole leaks due to corrosion (volatile organic compounds in household air accelerate this), crack under vibration, or become so loaded with dirt and biological buildup that cleaning can no longer help. A leaking coil steadily loses refrigerant, which degrades cooling output, causes ice buildup, and can ultimately destroy the compressor.

Why Recharging Alone Is Not the Answer

If your AC requires a refrigerant recharge every cooling season, an evaporator coil leak is almost certainly to blame. Topping off refrigerant without fixing the leak is money down the drain — the problem only worsens over time. Replacing the coil is the lasting solution. We install high-quality coils matched precisely to your system's specs, ensuring correct airflow, proper drainage, and an accurate refrigerant charge.

Labor-Intensive but Done Right

Because the coil is enclosed within the air handler, replacement demands careful disassembly and reinstallation. Our Western North Carolina technicians perform this repair routinely and complete it efficiently. Once the new coil is in place, we pressure-test every connection, pull a deep vacuum on the lines, charge refrigerant to manufacturer specs, and confirm full cooling performance before leaving.
