Plan Now, Save Later: What Facility Teams Need to Know Before Heating Season

Plan Now, Save Later: What Facility Teams Need to Know Before Heating Season

by | Aug 15, 2025 | Coils

Cooling Season Is Ending — Is Your Coil Replacement Plan in Place?

Avoid downtime and delays by planning your coil replacements now.

As summer winds down, most people look forward to cooler weather. But for facility managers, engineers, and maintenance pros, this is not the time to slow down. It’s the perfect opportunity to get ahead of potential issues and prepare for what’s next.

One smart move? Planning ahead for your coil replacements before heating season.

Whether you manage a hospital, school, or commercial facility, transitioning from cooling season to heating season is a crucial time to evaluate system performance, schedule necessary upgrades, and avoid unexpected outages. And if a coil is past its prime, waiting until it fails could mean higher costs, longer delays, and a lot of stress you don’t need.

Why Planning Matters for Coils

Most replacement coils are custom-made, but that doesn’t mean they should take forever to get. At Cooney, we specialize in fast-turnaround coils that meet or beat typical OEM lead times. Fall is the ideal time to act: downtime is easier to schedule, and it’s the perfect window to get ahead before heating season kicks in.

Our team will come on site to measure your coil and ensure a true drop-in fit — no surprises, no rework. Need more than a straight replacement? We’ll work with you to enhance performance or durability with options like Freeze Block™ protection, corrosion-resistant coatings, or material upgrades. It’s not just about replacing what’s broken: it’s a chance to improve your system before winter puts it to the test.

Signs It’s Time to Replace a Coil

Not sure if your coil needs replacing? Start with a quick inspection or walk-through with your maintenance team. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Reduced cooling performance or comfort complaints

  • Leaks, rust, or visible corrosion

  • Fouling, slime, or scale buildup

  • Increased system pressure drop

  • Frequent cleanings or maintenance calls

 Pro tip: Consider keeping a coil inspection checklist or documenting annual wear to stay ahead of trouble.

What Happens When You Wait for a Coil to Fail

Waiting until a coil fails is a gamble that rarely pays off. Picture this: it’s the first cold snap in October, and your coil gives out, right as your team is switching over to heating.

Now you’re scrambling for a rush replacement, calling after-hours contractors, and explaining to leadership why patients are cold or classrooms are uncomfortable. Lead times are longer, labor is tight, and costs start piling up fast.

It’s not just about the equipment; it’s the ripple effect on your operations.

Let’s Get Ahead of the Season — Together

The best time to plan for coil replacements? Before they fail.

Whether it’s a routine replacement or part of a broader energy upgrade, now’s the time to act. Let us take a look at your system, talk timelines, and map out a plan that works — without the winter crunch.

Stop Replacing Your HVAC Coils with the Same Problems

If you’ve ordered a “like-for-like” coil replacement recently, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong. It’s fast, familiar, and easy to hand off. But here’s the truth: replacing a failed coil with the exact same thing often means repeating the same issues.

At Cooney Coil & Energy, we see this all the time. Coils that corrode too quickly, freeze up, or clog in challenging environments simply because they were built for a different application or missed an opportunity for improvement.

Let’s break down what most facilities are missing.

“Same Specs” Doesn’t Always Mean the Best Option

Many OEM coils were designed years ago for bulk manufacturing, not necessarily with your specific environment, system conditions, or durability in mind. So while a like-for-like replacement might perform the same as the original, that doesn’t mean it’s the best solution for your facility today.

At Cooney Coil & Energy, we offer more than just a match, we can help you upgrade. With a wide range of material options, fin configurations, coatings, and circuiting tweaks, we can build a coil that fits your existing footprint while improving performance, durability, and resistance to common issues like freezing, corrosion, and fouling.

Instead, we take a smarter approach. Our replacement coils are:

  • Built to match your existing dimensions

  • Can be engineered for better airflow, energy efficiency, and lifespan

  • Available with material upgrades and protective coatings

  • Guaranteed to fit and function the first time

Upgrades Within the Same Footprint

You don’t need to redesign your entire system to get better results. In fact, many of our customers are surprised by what we can improve without changing the coil size or layout.

Here’s what we can enhance without altering your system design:

  • Better tube and fin materials to resist corrosion or handle pressure

  • Protective coatings to make coils easier to clean and longer lasting

  • Improved circuiting for energy efficiency and lower pressure drops

  • Freeze Block™ technology to prevent future freeze-related failures

Why This Matters

Every facility has something at stake, whether it’s patient comfort, lab control, occupant comfort, or production uptime. A failed coil isn’t just a nuisance; it’s often a crisis.

That’s why we do more than ship you a part. We show up, measure, design smart, and help your team prevent the next failure, not just patch today’s.

Ready to Replace Smarter?

If you’re dealing with a failed coil or just want to prevent the next one, we’re here to help. You don’t need to settle for the same-old replacement when better options are just as accessible.

Cooling Season is Coming: Is Your Facility Ready?

Cooling Season is Coming: Is Your Facility Ready?

by | Mar 5, 2025 | Coils

With the heavy demand on hot water, chilled water, steam, and refrigerant coils, proper maintenance is essential—not just for efficiency but also to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the peak of summer. Getting a jump on maintenance now can help you avoid delays, costly emergency orders, and the headache of replacing a coil when you need cooling the most. Follow our coil maintenance checklist to keep your system running at peak performance.

Understanding Different Types of Cooling Coils

Chilled Water Coilschilled water coils

Chilled water coils cool the air by circulating chilled water through the coil. They can be constructed with different numbers of rows, typically between 3-10, affecting their depth and efficiency.

dx coil

Direct Expansion (DX) Coils

DX coils cool air directly by circulating refrigerant through the coil. Unlike chilled water coils, these require a refrigerant distributor instead of a hydronic feed, making them ideal for refrigeration systems.

Cooling Season Prep

1. Inspect Coils for Damage & Debris

Before turning up the cooling, give your coils a thorough inspection:

  • Look for dirt, corrosion, or bent fins.
  • Use a fin comb to straighten any bent fins. If extremely smashed or bent, you’ll want to order a new coil to avoid performance loss.
  • Check for leaks, especially around connection points.
  • Inspect chilled water coils for freeze damage. freeze damage splitBulged and split areas, especially at the return bends, indicate past freezing issues. These often go unnoticed in winter when the coils aren’t in use. Learn more about why fluid coils freeze and how to prevent it: Read here

Pro Tip: Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

2. Check and Replace Coils

Sometimes, coils become damaged or inefficient over time. Old or failing coils can lead to higher energy bills and decreased cooling performance. Replacing HVAC coils before the cooling season is crucial to stress-free summer cooling.

Cooney Coil & Energy can design and manufacture replacement coils for any HVAC system. Our Form, Fit & Function Guarantee ensures that our replacement coils fit accurately and function seamlessly. Need a quick replacement for a critical area? We offer expedited coil production and shipping options, including 2-day, 5-day, and 10-day services. Call our team for availability at (610) 783-1136.

3. Clean Coils and Drain Pans

Dirty coils can strain your system, leading to higher energy costs and reduced performance. Cleaning your HVAC coils and drain pans before the cooling season is essential for optimal functioning:

  • Remove dust and debris to enhance heat transfer.
  • Flush drain lines with a disinfectant or vinegar-water mixture to prevent clogs and water damage.
  • Ensure proper airflow by keeping coils free of obstructions.

Did You Know? Clean coils can improve energy efficiency by up to 30%!

4. Verify Refrigerant Levels

For facilities using refrigerant coils, ensuring the correct charge is essential. If your system isn’t cooling effectively, check for:

  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Proper pressure levels
  • Correct charge

Reminder: Only licensed professionals should handle refrigerant recharges and leak repairs.

5. Inspect Fans & Airflow

Ensure your system is moving air efficiently by:

  • Checking condenser and evaporator fan motors.
  • Listening for unusual noises.

  • Ensuring no obstructions are blocking airflow.
