These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dirt on the AC coil<\/strong>: A visual check of the evaporator coil may show dirt, dust, and debris on it. The evaporator coil is located within your AC unit. Use your owner&#8217;s manual to identify and access it correctly. It is best to have an HVAC professional clean your evaporator coil. This will help save time and avoid the risk of damaging your AC from improperly accessing or cleaning the coil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less efficient cooling<\/strong>: Apart from a clogged filter, a dirty evaporator coil is among the factors affecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/factors-affecting-ac-efficiency\/\">AC efficiency<\/a>. If you notice that your AC is taking longer than usual to cool your home to the desired temperature, a dirty evaporator coil may be causing it. A dirty air conditioner can also cause your home to cool less and not reach the temperature you set on the thermostat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High energy bills<\/strong>: A dirty AC coil can restrict airflow and heat exchange, making your AC unit work harder to maintain the desired temperature. This will be evident in higher energy bills than what you are accustomed to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frost on coils and AC<\/strong>: It is quite common to find ice on a dirty air conditioner. Condensation forms on the dirt on your evaporator coil and freezes while the AC is running. The problem can exacerbate when the air is humid. The frost leads to insufficient airflow and creates an even greater build-up of ice on your air conditioner.
