aluminum evaporator coil is better to copper coil
Writer:Admin Time:
Aluminum coils inc for the evaporator unit are less expensive to produce. This allows for a more affordable air conditioner or heat pump. Aluminum is also easy to recycle, and many systems that include aluminum coil brake produce it with recycled material. Aluminum is less effective at heat transfer compared to copper.
Copper coils are easier to maintain and repair, but increase the cost of an air conditioner or heat pump system. Some units are vandalized due to the copper fittings within the system.
So because aluminum is not effected by formicary corrosion, aluminum is the better coil material? yes,Aluminum is a very reliable material. However, this does not mean an all aluminum coil stock lowes will not fail ‘at some point’ due to refrigerant leaks.
