What Is HVAC Coil Corrosion?
Coil corrosion occurs when the coils in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system deteriorate due to exposure to various corrosive elements. This issue can affect both outdoor units and indoor evaporator coils, leading to reduced efficiency and higher energy costs.
The primary cause of outdoor coil corrosion is environmental factors, including humidity and airborne pollutants. Indoor coils can also suffer from corrosion, mainly due to airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by household materials. These compounds can react and form corrosive acids on the coils, leading to deterioration over time.
Signs of Coil Corrosion
Early detection of HVAC coil corrosion can help you avoid expensive repairs. Here are some common signs that may indicate your coils are corroded:
- Reduced Cooling Efficiency: If your HVAC system is struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures, it could be a sign of corroded coils.
- Higher Energy Bills: An unexpected increase in energy costs may signal that your system is working harder to compensate for leaking refrigerant due to corrosion.
- Airflow Issues: Difficulty in getting sufficient cool air can point to corrosion affecting coil performance.
- Visible Damage: Inspect your coils for any signs of rust or holes, which can indicate significant corrosion.
How to Prevent Coil Corrosion
Taking preventive measures can help you avoid the costly consequences of coil corrosion. Here’s how you can protect your HVAC system:
- Routine Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance with your HVAC technician, who can clean the coils using solutions that neutralize corrosive buildup.
- Install Whole-House Air Cleaners: Adding an air cleaner to your HVAC system can help eliminate VOCs, improving your indoor air quality while protecting your coils.
- Monthly Cleaning: Rinse your outdoor condenser coil with plain water monthly to wash away debris and contaminants that can lead to corrosion.
- Apply Anti-Corrosive Coatings: Consult your HVAC professional about applying protective coatings to the coils and fins to extend their lifespan.
If you suspect that your HVAC coils are corroded or want personalized solutions to prevent this issue, reach out to the experts at F.H. Furr. We are committed to educating our customers about HVAC systems and energy efficiency.

What the Inflation Reduction Act Means for You: Tax Credits & Rebates in Virginia, DC & Maryland
Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), significant investments were made to reduce the effects of U.S. carbon pollution. The act will benefit homeowners who make energy-efficient upgrades through tax credits and rebates on new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment.
How much can homeowners save?
Tax Credits
With tax season upon us, everyone wants to save money and make the most of their taxes. This year’s IRA includes energy-saving changes and upgrades to homes, such as energy-efficient doors and windows, HVAC systems, heat pump water heaters, and solar panels.
25C Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit
Beginning January 1, 2023, the IRA will offer tax credits for households that make energy-efficient choices. At F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical, we can give you all the information you need about appliance options that qualify you for a tax credit and installation procedures when you’re ready to update.
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit is an expansion of the 25C tax credit that allows homeowners to deduct up to 30% of the cost of specific home improvements, up to $3,200 per year. Look at the chart below to see which energy-efficient appliances, upgrades, and devices qualify for a tax credit.
In addition to the equipment, installation and labor costs are included in the qualifying costs. Tax credits are not upfront savings. When you file your tax return, your tax credit amount is calculated based on these factors.
Certain requirements regarding installing new appliances or upgrading your home must be met to qualify for the tax credit. The F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical team can help you select tax credit-eligible qualified energy equipment that will help you save through tax credits and help save on overall annual utility bills.
Which Homeowners Are Eligible for Tax Credits?
All homeowners are eligible for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit. Tax credits are available for any new qualifying equipment you install or upgrades you make after Jan. 1, 2023.
The annual cap is $1200 per household (excluding heat pumps, which are capped at $2000), and there is a total cap of $3200. Now is the perfect time to improve your home and take advantage of these savings!
Call F.H. Furr Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical at (703) 540-4838 for expert help and guidance on products and installation.
Claiming Your Owed Tax Credits
When you have completed the installation of your qualified energy property with F.H. Furr, you will receive documentation for your new, eligible energy-efficient upgrades.
Use the IRA savings estimation calculator to determine how much money you can save on your taxes through these credits.
Rebates Available Through the IRA
IRAs offer homeowners more than tax credits to help them reduce carbon pollution and inflation. Rebates will be available for upgraded appliances to make these changes even more affordable.
High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA)
Low- and moderate-income households can receive up to $14,000 in rebates per year on new, energy-efficient appliances and 100% coverage for electrification projects with the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act. Take a look at the chart below to see what kinds of rebates will be available:
Depending on your state, you can apply for most rebates for these appliances sometime in the second half of 2023. If you qualify for these rebates, contact F.H. Furr for advice on purchasing and installing any new appliances.
The HOMES Rebate Program
Homeowner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) offers rebates for whole-home energy upgrades that reduce home energy consumption. These upgrades include installing energy-efficient appliances like heat pumps, better insulation, and other weatherization efforts.
As part of the HOMES program, households can receive rebates of up to $4000–$8000 if they decrease their energy usage by at least 35%. The more energy you save, the greater the rebate.
All households qualify for the HOMES rebate. The rebate is doubled for homeowners with low to moderate incomes and may cover up to 80% of project costs.
When will these rebates be available?
By the end of 2023, most of the rebates offered by the Inflation Reduction Act will be available. These rebates depend on your state of residence and Department of Energy guidelines.
Check with F.H. Furr by calling (703) 540-4838 to see if rebates are available when you’re ready to purchase.
A Cleaner Future for Us All
The purpose of the Inflation Reduction Act was to help Americans curb the expenses caused by the overuse of fossil fuels, reduce pollution, and develop cleaner energy resources. Americans can reduce their energy bills, save on taxes, and receive cash back by investing in and installing clean, efficient appliances and electrical upgrades.
The information is a lot to digest. If you have questions about how these types of appliances and upgrades work, the staff at F.H. Furr are happy to answer any questions.
Contact us online or call (703) 540-4838 for more information on taking advantage of the $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act.
