What Does an Evaporator Coil do in my AC System?
An evaporator coil plays an important role within an air conditioning system. It acts as a heat exchanger by subtracting the hot air within a home and transferring it to the exterior condenser unit which cools the air inside a home. Running through the evaporator coil are coolants such as Freon or Puron. As these coolants move through the evaporator coil (typically made of copper), they evaporate, drawing hot air into the coil and transferring it outside.
Common Issues with Evaporator Coils
Dust and dirt build-up. As natural household dirt, dust and debris collects on the evaporator coil, it creates a buffer between warm air and the coolant within the coils. You may notice your AC system is not producing cool air anymore. If you smoke inside your home, tobacco smoke can increase the debris build-up on the evaporator coil.
Blocked drain causes leaking. On hot days, the evaporator coils carry condensation droplets. Normally these water droplets collect into the pan and drain way. A clogged drain can cause the pan to overflow and leak water.
Frozen coils. While it might seem odd that your evaporator coils can freeze even when it’s not cold outside, the coolant has a different freezing point than water. Frozen coils don’t produce cooler air — instead the frozen state prevents the coils from properly transferring heat to the outside of your home.
Benefits of Maintaining the Evaporator Coil
With regular maintenance and repair, a smooth-running evaporator coil helps:
Provide cooler air
Require less energy to produce the same level of cool air
Prevent water leaks which can damage floors, ceilings or walls
Reduce the need for costly repairs later on
Let a Professional Help You
While you may be tempted to try to repair the evaporator coil yourself, a skilled technician can help provide quick and professional service saving you time and potential problems. The evaporator coils are quite delicate and can be easily damaged by using the wrong types of equipment or cleaning solutions.
Jason S. installed a thermostat in my home today. He was very courteous and professional. Jason started by putting on booties over his work boots to protect our carpet. After introducing himself he quickly began and finished the installation. Jason was prepared with several types of thermostats to ensure the proper one was available to do the job. He was very knowledgeable on how to program the thermostat and was able to explain to me how it works in an understandable manner. It was a pleasure to have Jason in my home to service my heating and cooling system. Once again Right Now Heating and Air Conditioning sent out a stellar technician to provide great service! I can always count on that being the case with Right Now.Thank you Jason S.!read more

Jason is very pleasant and knowledgeable to work he. When the first filter he brought us did not work out, he went back to the shop and brought us another filter that would work until the correct ones were ordered and arrived. He also installed an ultraviolet light. We think he did a great job for us!read more

This was the second time we've used Right Now and it's been exceptionally good each time. Aire was courteous and efficient. He arrived on time and tuned up our AC, heater, and water heater in the time scheduled. He honored the offer we were using without question and didn't try to up sell us on unnecessary stuff. Overall, he was great and represented his company well. We'll likely keep using Right Now for our AC and heater tune ups and repairs as long as we're in the area.read more

We had a technician from Right Now Heating and Air Conditioning, Javier Hernandez, come out to service our system. The work done was thoroughly. He explained clearly what he was doing and the condition of our system. When done, he gave our system a clean bill of mechanical health, all for around $50. The company seems honest in their work and they stand by it. I trust the company and would recommend them to anyone.read more

I'm a very visual person when it comes to understanding things that are explained to me and he gladly showed me everything he was doing when he checked out our furnace and explained what it meant for us. Also our two little dogs kept bugging him and he was so sweet to them! I highly recommend Right Now and Jim M!read more

I decided to try out right now heating and air conditioning special offer to service my furnace and water heater for $49. I expected someone to try to sell me on a new furnace I expected to not receive a very good job of cleaning. I was totally wrong and completely amazed at the service I received from Dallas Whitfield. It was late in the day and you'd expect even less service but Dallas gave me totally the opposite. He was polite professional very knowledgeable in what type of work he was performing and very thorough. I could not have asked for anyone better. I felt so comfortable and assured that my furnace and water heater are good to go for another year! I asked him on two different occasions if I could somehow send in a message of how happy I was with his service. The second time I asked he did give me the card to go into reviewbuzz. Because of Dallas when it does come time for a new air conditioner or furnace or water heater I will be calling Right Now!!!read more

We woke up on Thursday with no heat. We called someone who could come out to check the furnace and he said it was toast! I immediately called all the local furnace companies to come and give us a bid. That night we went to Home Depot to purchase other items we needed. Mata had a table set up for heating and cooling information. She contacted her people at Right Now to come out and give us a bid the next morning. My husband was so impressed with the professionalism and their knowledge that he hired Right Now on the spot. They started that afternoon, with booties on as to not damage our wood floors. I had lots of questions and they were so kind to answer all of them. We were so thrilled with their workmanship, how they went over every detail with us and how they cleaned up after themselves. I have recommended them to other friends who will be needing furnace work in the future.Great Experience!read more

Jim arrived on time. His appearance was clean and neat and he presented himself professionally. He went to work checking out our heating and cooling unit. He made many electrical readings which he carefully recorded for his, and our, future reference. Jim tightened connections and cleaned out the unit. He inspected our filters and found them in good condition. We reviewed the findings with Jim following work completion. I'm familiar with equipment and understood that our heating unit was near the end of it's useful life. Nearly 21 years makes it time for a replacement. We had a good experience with Right Now Heating and Air and their trained tech Jim. I highly recommend them.read more

I woke up to an inoperable heater. The tech (Dillon) showed up and immediately analyzed my heater. He explained exactly what he was doing and made every attempt to repair my heater using existing parts. It turned out to need a new part. Dillon made a few calls and found the part. He had the Part delivered to his shop and brought it back later. He installed the new part and it worked like a charm.I was completely impressed with Dillon’s attention to detail and knowledge. I will contact Right Now Heating and Air Conditioning for all of my heat and a/c needs in the future.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!read more

Great job! Price was right. The house is definitely warmer. My husband was home and said that the workers were hard working and stayed on the job from 10-6. They installed both a new water heater and furnace in the same day. The job was more complicated and took a bit more work then anticipated, yet the crew was positive and friendly throughout. At one point one of the men had to help my husband empty my hall closet to get to the water shut-off; over and above service. Thank you!read more

We also went through Home Depot. We thought we wanted to switch from an all electric furnace/cooling system to gas. The young man who came out to go through everything, plus answer our concerns and wishes, went through the process, proving to us that an electric heat/cooling pump was the way to go -- it would/HAS saved us a lot each month. Our bills have been HALF what they were last year, and our house is sooooooo much warmer. I didn't mention that last year to keep the power bill as low as possible, we set our thermostat at 63 degrees, but the techs assured us that 70 degrees still wouldn't cost as much as what we had. He wasn't kidding! Everyone we spoke with from the office staff who did the scheduling, to the sales person and on to the service professionals were FABULOUS to work with. There was no goofing off, it was all business and steady work til everything was completed, cleaned up and put back together. It was hard to imagine that from the time we were shopping in Home Depot, til Tuesday, we had a whole new wonderful system that exceeds our expectations in every way.Rod and Edie Cain, Fruitland, IDread more

He was very friendly, and even put pink booties on when in our house. They have been doing our servicing for about 8 years now. Think PINK!read more

Right Now Heating & Air Conditioning was very helpful in helping me take care of one of my biggest concerns in making updates to my home. I already knew my furnace needed to be replaced, but I had no idea when it was installed or how bad it was. Manny D. was the professional who helped me. He explained his and the company's hiring process, credentials, insurance. He educated me about other products the company has such as water heaters, a furnace filter home delivery service that would be of value to me in the future, and many more. He showed me the condition of my furnace. He is a funny guy and he is great with children. In short, he is very competent, reliable, and he really cares about people and his job. The company offers great value for customers and Manny D. is a rare find. If the company's products hadn't been affordable, I probably would have had to save for a few years or refinance my home to afford a new furnace. I was able to get a new furnace right away and lift a huge burden from my shoulders.read more

I'm giving a 5 star, as a reflection on the last 2 technicians, rather than the company in general. Our install was awful. Mistakes were made and the customer service was deplorable. The person that came to fix the mistakes made during install was great. We are four months out from our install and our furnace is out .The technician that came out this time was awesome! Very polite and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problem very efficiently. A faulty sensor on a four month old unit. Between the faulty installation, rude installer, and the furnace going out within four months, I wouldn't recommend Right Now, despite the great technicians that have come put the last couple of times. I would recommend asking for Thomas as a technician, if you decide to go with this company.read more

I have used Right Now for several years. At first to tune up the furnace then I had them install a new furnace and air conditioner the fall of 2017. The installers were very good and worked a long day getting everything installed and running. I do not think that the company explained the process enough and I had to have them come out and move the air conditioner for a better fit. They were happy to do it and I am very satisfied with the product. I had to request an owners manual and they sent me one. I had to call to get the size of furnace filter as it was no where on my unit or paper work. They came out and changed it for me. So a little improvement on communication and follow through on product identification is all I would ask.read more

Everyone involved was clean and professional, and no cussing. Our old furnace was dead. We had a weekend call and by Monday, noon, we had heat again. We are amazed how quiet the new furnace is. Great job everyone. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because after they left I went to the garage to check out the furnace. I was surprised to fine a number of metal clippings from fabrication. Also, there were short screws from the furnace on the floor. I run around barefoot and stepping on a screw hurts, and lets not forget, getting a flat tire on the car since we park in the garage.read more

During a Kitchen Renovation, I had Right now Heating and Air move a gas line for my stove to a different part of my kitchen. This was a 2 day project and I had to reschedule the 2nd day due to illness. Right Now H&A worked with me as I had to reschedule 2 more times and I am grateful for that. The First tech was Great and proficient(his name escapes me). A day later, I had an issue with my Water Heater not starting after the old gas line was removed and they sent out someone the same afternoon. The technician, Isa, was GREAT!. He explained the possible cause of the water heater not starting. Isa was professional, efficient, and a delight as a technician. As an afterthought, I thought both technicians did an AWESOME job. Isa definitely went above and beyond his job duties and I would have reviewed him earlier, but I was too busy finishing my home renovation....Thank You Right Now H&A...you have very skilled, friendly, and professional technicians!read more

I had my AC and furnace checked out today just as a precautionary measure. Dillon was my service rep. He was courteous, neat and clean when he entered my home. He seemed to have a good knowledge of AC and Heating systems. After looking over both systems, he warned me about a couple of things that are not urgent at this time but might need attention in the near future. He explained things so I could almost understand what he was talking about. (AC and Heating talk isn't my strong suit) but he did explain what he did and how things work generally in my AC and Furnace Systems. Price of $69 for the service call seemed reasonable to me and I knew that number before he came today. I would recommend Right Now to you for your AC and Heating needs. I will use them in the future.read more

I am disappointed with Right Now Heating and Air (they taped up the end of the condensation drain hose and only used one hose clamp (leaked everywhere) and there was a leak in my refrigerant line both when the unit was 4 months old. This isn't the first issue we have had with them about this unit so far.) but I was very satisfied with Mike Wheeler when he came to fix everything. He was very professional, friendly and a pleasure to talk with. He was called out to my house because of the flooding caused by the condensation pump.

He was able to get the issue resolved and unit charged and cooling better than it has ever worked.

Dillon Rupprecht was the man for the job. I don't want to go through the whole story of what had gone wrong since the install of my new furnace, multiple trips out by the service tech, and hot sweaty nights with no A/C, but I have to try and paint a frustrating picture for you to be able to relate to the experience. Dillon was very patient, thorough, and very well versed in his expertise. He explained things in an easy, and understandable way for me. He was able to figure out the problem, fix the problem, and do so with great customer service while dealing with a few headaches from the installation. He is a beacon for your company. ----- I have to also include Ali in on this, even though his assessment and diagnosis was ultimately wrong. He was trying to do everything he thought he knew to be right, and was trying to take care of me, his customer. He was out to my house a couple times since the install, changing out the piece that was failing. I would recommend him to come to my house any time, even for dinner, he was that good of a person. Hopefully I won't have to see either of them any time soon for the same reason I met them now, but they are good people in my book.read more

After some discussion he called the company and came back with a more acceptable price and he proceeded to complete the work right there. He explained what he was doing why he was doing it then completed the project to our satisfaction.

Levi was very efficient and got the A/C unit going in no time. (This branch is in Caldwell.) However when he gave us the bill, he said the capacitor went out. We use capacitors in our refrigerators. They are very cheap. We even called Johnston's in Boise to see how much they charge and we checked on our end and they run $10.00. Wow, talk about being overcharged. They wanted to charge us $375.00 for just the capacitor. Levi said that our capacitor was becoming more obsolete, so the price goes up. Again, WRONG! Johnstone's in Boise has lots of them and so does our supplier. I don't know what's going on, but I smell a conspiracy going on. Thank God we were here for my parents and we paid the bill under protest. Unfortunately my parents are a lot like other people, in that they are retired on fixed incomes. They would not have been able to pay them, leaving them fighting this heat with no relief. That's horrible, I don't think "Right Now Heating & Air Conditioning" has "NO" conscious. Wake up people, don't use this company!!! Also got other stories from other people that used to work for them that quit because they couldn't live with themselves for being asked to deceive their customer into thinking they needed more things done than they did to raising the bill. I could go on and on but you get the just of it. This is from a very unhappy customer.....will not ever call them again.read more
