Coil cleaners are specialised cleaning agents specifically formulated to effectively eliminate dirt, grease, and other contaminants that accumulate on the coils of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, as highlighted by HVAC Shop. These essential products are crucial for maintaining the efficiency of HVAC systems and can significantly enhance indoor air quality by targeting and removing harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses, according to Air Conditioning One.

Designed to dissolve and dislodge stubborn buildups, coil cleaners penetrate the coils and fins of air conditioning and refrigeration units, ensuring thorough cleaning. When the coils are kept clean, air circulation is optimised, which enables the system to operate more efficiently in both cooling and heating modes.

A meticulously cleaned system not only improves comfort levels but also reduces energy consumption. This enhanced efficiency can result in a noticeable decrease in energy bills, as the system requires less energy to achieve and maintain the desired temperature. Furthermore, many coil cleaners serve a dual purpose by acting as disinfectants. They effectively sanitise the coils, thereby improving indoor air quality and contributing to a healthier living environment by minimising the presence of indoor pathogens.
