Corrosion is one of the leading causes of AC cooling coil leaks. The coil’s material, usually copper or aluminum, can react with chemicals in the air. These reactions, especially involving formic acid or acetic acid, eat away at the metal, creating small pinholes over time. Common sources of these chemicals include household cleaning agents, adhesives, and paints.

So we shouldn’t cook with vinegar or clean with bleach in our house? After all, unlike the water in the drain lines the air in your house will be collected and pushed directly through the coils. If it is strong enough to harm fabrics and burn your skin and eyes then just imagine what it must be doing to the soft aluminum and copper of the coils.
