Coil

« Back to Glossary Index

A coil in HVAC refers to a heat exchanger device used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. It is responsible for either heating or cooling the air within the system. Coils can be located in an air handling unit, ductwork, or integrated into equipment like condensers and evaporators. There are two main types of coils in HVAC systems: evaporator coils and condenser coils.

An evaporator coil is located indoors and is involved in the cooling process. It allows refrigerant to absorb heat from the indoor air being blown across it, effectively cooling the air.
A condenser coil, on the other hand, is found outdoors and releases the heat absorbed from inside the building into the outside environment.

2025 UPDATE: I needed Jonathan service on Friday, April 3rd. I called his office at 6:40. Jonathan arrived at my home by 2 o’clock that afternoon. Got my unit back up and running in less than an hour. The team at Paradise heating and cooling. Always provide exceptional, customer service and expertise. As long as Jonathan is in business, I will continue to do business with him. "I was so impressed with Mr. Jonathan from Paradise Heating & Air! They were incredibly respectful of my home, even wearing shoe covers. They were punctual and kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Jonathan took the time to explain the issue clearly and simply, without any confusing technical terms. They offered several options and let me decide what was best for me and my budget. I really appreciated that they didn't try to oversell me on something I didn't need. It's clear that Mr. Jonathan is knowledgeable and truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend Mr. Jonathan and Paradise Heating & Air to anyone looking for reliable and honest HVAC service. It's refreshing to find a company you can trust."

Michael Burrus

Ramona Martin

Trustworthy and honest! I'm so thankful for the service I receive from Paradise Heating and Air. I am a repeat customer because I know Jonathan will not try to sell something I do not need. He explains any issues in detail leaving the decision up to me on whether or not to replace a part. Jonathan takes his time to make sure everything is in good working order before he leaves.He truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend keeping your unit(s) serviced twice a year. I am seeing the benefits on being proactive with this. It's totally worth it. I cannot rave enough about the customer service you receive from Paradise Heating and Air. Call them!!!

Great service... Speedy and Fairly priced too!

Extremely nice, on time, helpful and explanatory. Very professional. Thank you

donna von hagel

Jonathon was fantastic! My upstairs unit stopped working, and since there’s no one living up there right now it wasn’t urgent. That being said, he was there within a couple of days. He was very professional and polite. He did a full assessment and gave me a VERY informative run down of the problems and my options. He could have very well told me that my unit was old and had to be replaced. And, that will be the case on day. But he told me what had failed and that he could fix those things. He’s not a fortune teller…so who knows how long this unit will last. All I know is that he had it back and running perfect quickly! And, it was a lot less than buying a new unit. He truly cares about the customer and their needs. I won’t hesitate to call him again!

Melanie Kettle

They scheduled me in a timely manner. The technician (Jonathan)was very professional, explained the system, and answered all my questions.

Sunil Prabhu

Excellent work and reasonably charges.

Donna Butler

On time. Responsive. Seemed confident with expertise. Explained issues well. Serviced and repaired older ac system and did not try to sell me a new one. Kept everyone cool for Mothers Day.

Greg DuPree

These guys were great! They came out same day in this 95 degree weather and had my AC back up and running in no time!

Qing Jin

It was impressive that Jonathan provided the fairly evaluation on our existing attic insulation. He is also very knowledgeable about HAVC and Duct work. We don’t need anything now, but we will contact Paradise Heating and Air in the future. Appreciate for their visiting today!

Anil Chintala

Fast and excellent job by JOHN

Natalia Nagorneac

We were in dire situation last last summer when our AC system went off with no repair really feasible. We took some time to shop around despite of awful heat in the house. Johnatan from Paradise Heating and Air is honest, articulate, skillful professional. He offered the best value and cost, the easiest ways to pay, and great service plan. I would recommend everyone to contact Johnatan and Paradise Heating and Air for the AC service.

Mary Williams

Great experience!

Robby Brumberg

Deanne Guthrie

We appreciate Paradise Heating and Air fixing our heat. The are wonderful and so nice! Update: Paradise Heating and Air is perfect for all our HVAC needs. They are the best there is!!!

Deborah Atchison

Had what I thought was an issue with my furnace at MIDNIGHT and was in a panic trying to decipher what I thought was an error code. Called numerous places advertising 24/7 assistance and no one could/would help. Jonathan Perkinson with Paradise actually called me back, explained it all to me and kept me from shutting it all down on a cold night. So kind and helpful!!! Highly recommended!

Misty Hughes

FIRST RATE. TOOK CARE OF ME ASAP. WILL USE IN FUTURE FOR NEW UNIT

Kathy Robinson

Awesome service. I just signed a maintenance agreement with another company and had my HVAC systems serviced. Two weeks later one of my units wasn’t cooling. I called the company that I had a maintenance agreement with and they couldn’t service my units for two weeks. I called Paradise Heating and they fixed my unit that night. Will never use another company again.

Rachel White

The guys were on time, took their time reviewing the history of our units with me before starting, and took great care examining our systems. I highly recommend Paradise!

Joshua Bergeron

Paradise Heating and Air fixed out upstairs unit by cleaning out the condenser coil and replacing the capacitor. Didn’t no over charge or try to up sell me on anything. Very trustworthy company.

Kim Van Valkenburgh

I am grateful for the service provided by Paradise Heating and Air. I was impressed by the prompt response to my initial email inquiry and the follow-up communication before the appointment. The professionalism and kindness shown to me during my AC repair appointment were greatly appreciated."

Diane Natale

Best in the business. I have used this company several times. They are always responsive and get repairs handled quickly. Jonathan is our tech and he does a great job explaining everything.

HHA A

Paradise heating and air came out to my place within 30 minutes from the time I called put in a water sensor for the airflow in the attic and replaced the Capacitor for upstairs AC unit, Johnathon was very professional and very honest at first he thought I needed freon for one of my units But after it working for a while, he saw that it didn’t need any he could’ve charged me and I would’ve never known but he didn’t he came in and told the freon levels were OK and just needed time to show the correct pressure level. Also their price were very reasonable. Don’t let the service fee scare you, you’re getting an honest company that will come out and tell you exactly what you need and how much it’s going to cost and if you decide to go with them, that service fee will be included with the work they do.

Jason Motley

I would highly recommend Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air. I called multiple places to get quotes on replacing my two older units. What sets Paradise apart is Jonathan took the time to explain my current system, as well as pricing comparable new systems. Not once did he try and sale me the bells and whistles that did not align with what I was replacing like the other businesses. He was not pushy and his prices can't be beat. You can't go wrong with Paradise Heating and Air and they will be my shop for any HVAC needs moving forward. Thank You for being fair and honest.

Suzette Scott

Would highly recommend this company. Jonathan is an honest guy and gave me a fair price to repair what someone else wanted to completely replace (for a lot more money). He also gave me a replacement price that was much less than my other quote.

Karen Stough

from the first phone call Paradise has been professional and very easy to work with. Arrived on time, explained the issue and gave an option of repair or replace. Emailed a quote and we decided to replace. They were the lowest estimate. Would definitely recommend.

James Coco

Jonathan to the rescue! After hours quick response saved us from a miserable night. Jonathan had us fixed in a matter of minutes! Highly recommend!

Tom Marvin

Jonathan and his crew are always on time and always help me to understand what is going on with our AC an heating unit.

Ryan Brewer

I am extremely impressed with Paradise Heating and Air. I was skeptical of filling out an online form for an appointment but was very pleased to get a response in minutes and service to my house within 2 hours of filling out the form. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and fixed our issue promptly. I highly recommend them!
