SITE BITE: Correcting Improperly Installed Chilled Water Coils.

Not long ago, I visited a local hospital in Florida to measure six chilled water coils for replacement. As I began inspecting them, I was taken aback to find out that all six coils had been installed incorrectly—they were all left-handed coils, whereas three of them should have been right-handed.

Getting the right type of coil installed correctly is absolutely critical, especially given the high standards required in today's HVAC industry. And this wasn’t just any building—it was a hospital, which makes accuracy even more important. Having the wrong orientation of the coils can significantly impact airflow and reduce the unit's overall efficiency. For this particular six-row coil, the mistake could lead to a potential 15% drop in efficiency over time, resulting in higher energy costs and decreased performance.

Luckily, I caught the issue early during my inspection and ensured that the correct coils were installed. This experience highlights the importance of working with a reliable commercial coil provider who guarantees accurate replacements every single time. It allows you to focus on other aspects of your project without worrying about potential inefficiencies down the line.
