Central air ? on evap coils and fins!?

Question

Could anyone tel me if you can replace just the evap coils and fins or do you need to rep[lace the entire unit? Also if possible could I get a rough estimate for the cost of parts.

I know they are connected, but can I replace just them or do I need to replace the entire unit? Also what kind of cost am I looking at in either case?

I forgot to mention that it is a York unit if that helps any.

Answer 1

The removal and replacement of an evaporator coil will cost you about $750 for a 3-4 ton unit. Some prices will be higher or lower.

When an evap coil is replaced, it is generally due to loading from dirt and fungi. Make sure that if the rest of your cabinet is contaminated with mold (especially the blower wheel) that you consider a clean-up, or if more practical, replacement of the air handler.

If the coil was leaking, there is a possibility of moisture in the refrigerant lines. Make certain that the lines are carefully evacuated, and that a drier is installed. Otherwise, moisture left in the lines could destroy your new equipment.
