Default Re: Evaporator Coil Question

This was definitely a poor quality installation. Most of the newer evap coils are plastic. That one is pretty rusty. Any leakage from the coil will go into the electric elements and controls. From there it will go into the ductwork below. The filter lying on the coils is not the best place for the filter to be. Best if it was in a filter grill or in the cover. Most MH units have made provision for a filter in the door/cover panel. Since this unit is downflow the top of the coil will be dirtiest.
