Evaporator Coil Leaks
We have been experiencing a higher than usual evaporator coil leakage rate in systems being installed in new homes here in Florida. The culprit seems to be formicary corrosion identified by the many pin hole leaks in the fin tubing of the coils. Nearly 80% of the York and Coleman systems installed in the past 2 years by my company has had the coil replaced and in some cases have been replaced multiple times. Has anyone else in the south experienced simular problems????Curious to how wide spread this really is???

Re: Evaporator Coil Leaks
I don't know if it is a regional issue. Have had the same problems you just described up north in Chicago, Just change out another one yesterday that had only seen one heat season.

Re: Evaporator Coil Leaks
After 5 years of being told we were the only one having the problem, we gave the distributor and the manufactor so much trouble, they fired us. After 30 years of representing their brand, they fired us!
I guess they solved the problem. |
