What we did
An inspection of the evaporator coil at this Harrodsburg home showed that it needed a thorough cleaning. The evaporator coil is the part of the system that pulls heat and moisture out of the indoor air, so keeping it clean is important to how well the system cools.
We completed a level 3 clean on the coil. While doing that work, we discovered a crack in the drain pan. The drain pan catches the condensation that comes off the coil, and a crack gives that water a way to escape where it should not. We sealed the crack promptly with Flex Seal so the pan could keep doing its job.
Kentucky summers bring plenty of humidity, which means an evaporator coil produces a steady stream of condensation during the cooling season. A dirty coil makes the system work harder, and a cracked pan can turn that condensation into a leak. Taking care of both during the same visit helps the HVAC system perform the way it should. If it has been a while since your coil was inspected, our team can check it and let you know whether a cleaning or other maintenance makes sense for your home in Harrodsburg or the surrounding area.
