"Paul Bennett is the best in the business. He is professional, personable and not just out to make money and sell you a system when the one you have is repairable. Hard to find the honesty and integrity this man conveys to his customers! He responds quickly and understands the needs of his customer. I had a 19 year old Bryant unit that clearly most services would insist they could Only replace. Paul quoted me the new system but gave me the option to repair it. With the budget I was on I was so grateful. I saved $8,000 and the system was repaired and up and running like brand new! I’ve moved to Nevada since and boy do I wish I could have brought Paul here! I highly recommend this man! Thanks again Paul!"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An evaporator coil is the chilled indoor coil that pulls heat out of your home’s air. As warm air passes over it, the refrigerant inside absorbs the heat and sends it outdoors, leaving cooler air behind. When the coil wears out or leaks, you’ll notice weaker cooling, higher bills, or even small puddles of refrigerant around the unit.

You’ll know an evaporator coil is on its last legs when airflow turns weak, the air feels lukewarm, or your energy bill suddenly spikes. Short cycling, hissing sounds, and visible refrigerant leaks are other red flags. Acting quickly keeps the repair bill smaller and prevents a full system breakdown, so call an HVAC pro as soon as you spot these issues.

With routine filter changes and a yearly tune-up, most evaporator coils last 10 to 20 years. Heavy summer use, skipped maintenance, or corrosive indoor air can shave years off that span, while a lightly used, well-kept system can reach the upper end. Staying on top of simple upkeep is the best way to protect the coil’s lifespan.
