Coil Cleaning in Los Gatos, CA

What a dirty coil actually costs you

A loaded evaporator coil does not announce itself. Airflow drops first. Then the fins run colder, ice forms, and liquid refrigerant heads back toward the compressor. Compressors fail quietly and expensively. Before that, the condensate pan floods. On an attic air handler over finished ceilings, that is drywall damage, not just an HVAC repair. Waiting is the expensive choice.

Coils foul from below the filter, not above it. Los Gatos homes are full of undersized filter racks on heat-only-era returns, so air slips around the media instead of through it. Fine wildfire ash gets pulled into returns, along with remodel drywall dust that stays in the system for years. Rodent nesting in attic and crawlspace duct adds fur and debris, which is routine on wooded and hillside parcels.

Real cleaning means pulling the access panel and seeing the upstream face of the coil, not spraying the side you can reach. Fin combing, a rinse that drains properly, blower wheel cleaned, condensate pan and trap flushed. Badly crushed or inaccessible coils sometimes have to come out and be handled off-site.

Condenser coils outdoors load differently. Gravel drives and dust off mountain roads pack into the lower third. Landscaping debris does too.

What Happens After You Call Us

1
Call and tell us how many furnaces or zones you run and roughly when the house was built. We book a two hour window and text you when the van leaves.

We walk the attic runs, count supply and return registers, and check the condition of your flex. Then you get a written quote before a single vent cover comes off.

We clean, run the system to verify airflow at each register, vacuum up any drop, and put the furniture back. You pay the quoted number, nothing added.
