You can do it yourself. Get a cheap submersible pump,Amazon for $45. 4 gallons of vinegar, a bucket, and 2 rubber hoses about 3 feet each. You run the vinegar through for an hour then 5 minutes of water and your done.

:confused: Are you talking "tankless hotwater heater"? Thread is about EVAPORATOR COILS on an A/C :)

Change your HVAC provider
 

That service should be included in your maintenance service. Change your HVAC provider, a lot of big companies have purchased the old family owned ones and they pay bonuses to the technicians that upsell unnecessary services, my unit was installed by a company, I purchased the home in 2018 unit was 2 years old, called the company since their labels were all in the inside unit for maintenance, once here they tried to sell me a condenser for $275.00, I asked “if the condenser is bad wouldn’t the unit quit working” after a long silence the tech said well is about to go bad. I threw them out of my house called a smaller company he look at it cleaned the inside condensate line and he is doing my work
:boom::boom::boom::bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

you may wanna consider changing the folks that service your A/C

just saying

Agree 100% item that they should change out before it fails and causes damage..Problem is 15 30 bucks now preventive, few 100 when it fails

Do you remember where it’s located at HD?

Thanks

You are paying for unneeded service. Once a year service is more than necessary. I know a certain company pushes the twice a year with an overpriced 10 year maintenance contract and tell you it is needed for warranty. Their replacement ac is also about 25% higher than anyone else.

:ho: Link was in post #2

Share the name of the company that gave you a $300 price as a PUBLIC SERVICE

We’re absentee owners and joined Sun Kools Kool club.

We’re here in the spring and fall. They’re local and for the past 3 years have provided excellent service.

Kool club gets you preferential appointment times a discount on parts and labor, two very thorough tune ups one in spring and they clean the coils as needed.

You get a new unit filter which the correct one is $30.00 at Home Depot but in reality is a half inch small allowing dirt to get buy it causing dirty coil premature on indoor unit.

The correct filter for our unit is $50.00 and one per year is included.

You earn kool bucks which can be used for service and repairs. The guy was here Wednesday and spent a hour checking every operational item cleaned both coils and pressure cleaned the drain line with a machine.

Kool club is $199.00 per year and includes emergency service should your unit fail unexpectedly.

Sun kool they are on US 301 N in Oxford.

If you use good filters and replace them regularly, the evaporator coil should rarely, if ever, need to be cleaned. I have never needed to clean an evaporator coil. But, I have seen HVAC units where the unit was operated for a long time without a filter at all, and the coil will accumulate dust, hair, and dirt. Then, it definitely needs to be cleaned. But, I don't think most maintenance "tune-ups" will include cleaning the evaporator coil. They may inspect it, but not clean it. If you think your HVAC company is cleaning the coil every year, I would ask to see the chemical he used.

We use Munn’s as well. 14 years and going strong.

$300 is very reasonable if they are going to pump out the refrigerant aka freon , remove they evaporator coil, chemically clean the coil, flush with water, reinstall the evaporator coil, solder the refrigeration lines and then add your freon back. this is only necessary if the evap. coil has imbedded dirt which is quite common if the unit was run for several months without a filter or even if run with a filter during floor installation or replacement or if the system is very old and has been subjected to neglect. A coil cleaned"in place" should be under $30 plus service call.

Glad to see Chuck Farrell's number listed. We have ours serviced every year. $65.00 for great service. I order the filters from Amazon.
