Why Dirty Coils Are a Problem For Your Home
Your air conditioning system has one job: remove heat from your home and exhaust it outside. Two of the most critical components of its ability to do this are the evaporator coil and the condensing coil. Here at Goettl, we offer air conditioning maintentance for all different types of systems and we wanted to share a little bit about why keeping those coils clean is so important.
Common AC Repair: Dirty Coils
In order to understand why dirty coils are such a problem for your AC, you need to know a little bit about how they work.
Central air conditioners typically are comprised of two separate units: an indoor evaporator unit and the outdoor condensing unit. A fan in the indoor unit pulls in warm air from your home and passes it over the very cold evaporator coils which are filled with a refrigerant that absorbs the heat out of the air. The newly-cooled air then continues on into your home. The refrigerant is circulated outside carrying the heat from your home which gets exhausted at the condensing coils.
If either set of coils, the evaporator coils or the condensing coils, get dirty it can cause big problems for your home’s efficiency and comfort.
Here are a couple of problems that can arise from dirty coils:
- Not enough cooling – If the evaporator coils get covered in dirty or dust it can keep them from successfully absorbing enough heat from your home’s air. This means that the air moving into your home won’t be cool enough and your home won’t be comfortable.
- Inefficiency – Also, if the evaporator coils are dirty it will make your air conditioner have to work harder to cool your home which reduces its efficiency.
- Constant running – If your air conditioning system won’t stop running it could be because the outdoor condensing coils are dirty. This happens because the system isn’t able to exhaust any of the heat that it is absorbing out of your home. This is a huge problem because this will cause your system to experience more wear and tear which could lead to more repairs. It will also likely reduce the comfort of your home because you won’t be able to get rid of any heat from your home.

What Our Customers Say About Us
After note. Cameron came back by a day later to check on readings he wasn't able to get on first appointment. I have high confidence in his work. I'm very likely to work with them again
Brayan and Marcos did an awesome job on the new ac installation. Installed with no issues and has been on ever since. Perfect time with summer coming up. Walked through and job was very clean and organized. Great work ethic. Great guys.
Good Customer Service is terribly undervalued. GREAT customer service is almost unheard of nowadays. That above all, when paired with truly quality work will always ensure not only a return customer, but also brand loyalty.
Update - our air conditioner went out today (10/26/23) and JEHAD showed up to repair the issue but the issue was bigger than expected. Tomorrow we will have a brand new system! Goettl is an EPIC firm that treats customers right. Thank you again JEHAD for going above and beyond.
Goettl is the epitome of what excellent customer service is! Our Drain King, DAREAN, addressed all of our questions and concerns and not only unclogged our drain but went above and beyond to show us our drains leading to the street were free and clear of any other issues. Thank you Darean and thank you Goettl for a great experience!
Update: great experience with Edgar Loredo who kept it real with us and was very transparent. I appreciate his honesty and recommendations. Will be requesting him as our technician in the future if we choose to use Goettl

We had an blockage in our sewer line.
Tyler Leija was dispatched the same day, and found the blockage using a camera tool.
He cleared the blockage temporarily.
The actual fix would require digging up and replacing the bad area of pipe.
Paulo "Adrian" Dado and his crew came out the next day with backhoe, dug up the area, and replaced the section of pipe.
The next day, after inspection, Adrian and his crew filled in the hole and then cleaned up the area.
This is a brief description. There was A LOT of work involved.
Very professional work.
Our tech Jorge that came out the day before helped quickly assess the situation and get us set up for a new system and water heater. Jorge was very friendly, would highly recommend!
Frank did an excellent job at explaining every thing in terms that were understandable to both myself and my wife. This greatly assisted in making the right decision to look at all options on either repair or update/purchase for the future and in the long term, saving money.
Will definitely call and use
Goettle again and I will ask if Darrean could help again.
Couldn’t be happier. Came all the options
