Pasadena Commercial Refrigeration Coil Cleaning

What Our Commercial Refrigeration Coil Cleaning Includes

Dirty coils force compressors and fans to work harder, driving up energy costs and shortening equipment life. Our Pasadena team restores coil performance on AC PRO and other commercial systems through a structured, engineering‑grade process:

• System evaluation: amps, superheat/subcool, delta‑T, and visual coil assessment
• Dry debris removal: gentle vacuuming and fin‑straightening where required
• Chemically appropriate wash: EPA‑registered cleaners matched to coil metallurgy (including microchannel)
• Low‑pressure rinse with runoff control to protect landscaping and roofing
• Evaporator sanitization options to reduce biofilm and odor
• Post‑clean performance check and documented before/after readings

This process restores heat transfer, reduces head pressure, stabilizes case or space temperatures, and helps prevent icing and short cycling.

Systems and Industries We Serve in Pasadena

• Rooftop units and split systems, including many AC PRO configurations
• Walk‑in coolers and freezers, reach‑ins, prep lines
• Server rooms and specialized comfort cooling
• Supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, cafes
• Medical, labs, R&D, and light industrial
• Office, retail, education, and hospitality

Whether you manage a single store on Colorado Blvd or a multi‑site portfolio across Los Angeles County, our team scales from one‑off restorations to scheduled coil maintenance.

Benefits You Can Measure

• Energy savings: reduced compressor load from clean heat‑exchange surfaces
• Capacity recovery: improved temperature pull‑down and product integrity
• Fewer breakdowns: less strain on motors, contactors, and compressors
• Healthier air: cleaner evaporators reduce odors and microbial growth
• Longer equipment life: components operate within design parameters

For Pasadena businesses, coil cleaning often pays back quickly through utility savings and avoided emergency calls—especially before summer peaks.

Our Engineering Heritage

#1 AC Guys is a 4th‑generation family business with 80+ years of engineering experience. We are factory‑trained by Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). That depth shows up in our diagnostics, our care with microchannel and coated coils, and our emphasis on data before and after cleaning.

AC PRO Equipment Expertise

We service many commercial systems built with AC PRO equipment and components common throughout Southern California. From rooftop condenser banks to indoor evaporators, our methods respect coil fin density, coatings, and drainage paths to ensure thorough cleaning without damage.

How Often Should Coils Be Cleaned?

In Pasadena’s mix of pollen, coastal particulates, and urban dust, most commercial condenser coils need cleaning 1–2 times a year; evaporators typically benefit from annual cleaning with filters changed on schedule. Kitchens, markets, and high‑traffic sites often require more frequent service. We can set a plan that fits your load profile, hours, and environment.

Our Step‑by‑Step Process

1) Inspect and baseline readings
2) Protect electricals and surrounding areas
3) Debris removal and fin care
4) Chemically correct foam or non‑foaming cleaner selection
5) Low‑pressure rinse for full coil depth
6) Pan/condensate checks and microbial treatment options
7) Re‑test, document, and recommend next steps

Signs You Need Coil Cleaning Now

• Rising head pressure, longer run times, or frequent defrosts
• Temperature fluctuations in cases or spaces
• Visible dirt, grease, cottonwood, or scale on fins
• Unusual odors or icing at the evaporator
• Higher utility bills with no change in load

Safety and Compliance

We use EPA‑registered coil cleaners and follow manufacturer‑aligned best practices to protect aluminum, copper, and microchannel coils. Runoff is contained and disposed of responsibly, and our teams respect roof integrity, sealing, and drainage to prevent leaks.

Service Area

Based in Los Angeles County, we prioritize Pasadena and serve the surrounding region: LA County at large plus nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Multi‑site operators can consolidate coil maintenance across all locations with one engineering team.
