Dirty Condenser Coil – Heat with Nowhere to Go

The outdoor coil’s job is to release heat from your home. When it’s coated in dirt, grass, or pollen, that heat has nowhere to go — forcing your compressor to overwork.
Chatterbox monitors coil efficiency by comparing temperature differential and compressor runtime patterns. A dirty coil makes the compressor stay on longer and the head pressure rise.
Left uncleaned, this issue can add 20–30% to your cooling costs and shorten compressor life.
With early detection, you can clean the coil before energy bills rise or damage occurs.
