How Is Coil Cleaning Done?
Coil cleaning is the process of removing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from the surface of HVAC coils. It’s an essential part of any mechanical system’s maintenance program.
The process typically involves the use of specialized cleaning solutions, sprayers, and brushes to break down and remove buildup. For evaporator coils, high-pressure steam is especially effective. We use a powerful Industrial-grade steam equipment. This method allows for deep cleaning in place (in situ) without needing to dismantle the system.
Steam cleaning not only significantly improves the efficiency of A/C units—reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs, but it also eliminates bacteria, mold, and other harmful contaminants.
Why Use High-Pressure Steam for AC Coil Cleaning?
High-pressure steam cleaning is one of the most effective, eco-friendly, and efficient methods using in the Industry for maintaining HVAC systems. Here's why it's becoming the preferred choice:
Deep, Acid-Free Cleaning
Steam penetrates deep into the coil surfaces and fins, removing grease, grime, biofilm, and debris without the need for harsh Acids. This makes it safer for indoor environments and better for the planet.
Kills Mold, Bacteria & Viruses
The high temperatures (over 200°F/93°C) of steam sanitize as they clean, effectively killing:
-
Mold spores
-
Bacteria
-
Viruses
-
Dust mites and allergens
Ideal for hospitals, schools, restaurants, and homes concerned with air quality.
Restores System Efficiency
Clogged or dirty coils reduce heat exchange, causing systems to work harder. Steam cleaning:
-
Restores airflow
-
Improves cooling/heating efficiency
-
Reduces compressor load
This could cut energy costs by up to 40%, depending on how dirty the coils were.
Extends Equipment Life
Regular steam cleaning reduces wear and tear on components, helping:
-
Prevent breakdowns
-
Lower maintenance costs
-
Prolong the lifespan of compressors and fans
Safe for Sensitive Coils
Unlike high-pressure water or aggressive chemicals, dry or low-moisture steam avoids bending fins or damaging sensitive coil surfaces.
Fast Dry Time & No Water Waste
Steam cleaning uses minimal water and dries quickly—reducing downtime and eliminating the risk of water damage in indoor systems.
