What Is the Evaporator Coil?
The evaporator coil sits inside your indoor air handler. It absorbs heat from the warm air in your home as refrigerant flows through it — cooling the air circulated back into your living space. When it fails, your system cannot cool effectively.
Signs Your Evaporator Coil Needs Replacement
- Ice or frost forming on the indoor air handler or refrigerant lines
- Water puddles near your air handler from thawing ice
- Reduced cooling capacity despite system running normally
- Refrigerant leak confirmed by technician diagnosis
- Warm air blowing despite the system running
- Hissing or bubbling sounds from the air handler
- Significantly higher electricity bills
