Replacement coils to keep your heat flowing in the winter months
With winter approaching, replacement coils are probably on your list for your properties. Your HVAC coils have to keep the heat flowing throughout your buildings. Your tenants, employees, and customers can't be left sitting in the cold, causing you to shut down your building until heat is restored. If frozen pipes burst and cause water damage, your costs are even higher.
Frigid air brought into an HVAC system from outdoors can freeze cooling and heating coils that are filled with water or steam. While some building managers may consider shutting down fresh air intakes to protect coils in the winter, it’s a bad idea. Aside from limiting the amount of fresh air inside the building for people to breath, the building exhaust system still needs to remove air from the building. The exhaust systems will pull air from wherever it can, including doors and windows, creating drafts and cold spots.
When buying replacement coils, consider materials and design to prevent freezing in winter months. Steam distributing coils with their tube-in-tube design are a better option than standard steam coils for environments where the fresh air temperature drops below freezing. Using a mixture of glycol and water can reduce the risk of frozen coils since it lowers the freezing point of the solution.
Let Emergent Coils be the first place you shop for replacement coils. Even if your HVAC coils haven’t failed completely, leaking or underperforming coils hurt the performance of your heating system and increase heating costs. A cold spot on a coil, corrosion, pitting, or a failed steam trap can cause condensate to back up and freeze inside a coil.
