When it needs attention

Common Signs You Have a
Problem With Your Coil

Air temperature inconsistencies

Failure to reach design temperatures, or inconsistent air conditions across a zone, is often a sign of coil fouling, partial blockage, or internal degradation.

Visible leaking or corrosion on coil faces

Corrosion, water staining, or active leaks on coil headers or tube connections indicate the coil is at or beyond end of life.

Reduced system performance or unexplained energy increase

Gradual fouling of coil surfaces increases thermal resistance and reduces heat transfer efficiency, resulting in higher energy use before any visible sign of failure.

How we solve it

Measure, Supply, Fit.

01

On-Site Survey

Existing coils are surveyed on site, including dimensions, pipework positions, casing clearances, and operating conditions.

  • Dimensions recorded on site
  • Performance requirements assessed
  • Access constraints reviewed
02

Supply

All replacement coils are manufactured to the exact dimensions and performance specification of your AHU. Every coil is built to fit your system.

  • Manufactured to exact site dimensions
  • Duty and performance matched to your system
  • Lead time confirmed at quotation stage
03

Installation & Testing

Replacement coils are fitted, pressure tested, insulated, and returned to service with performance checks completed.

  • Pipework connected and tested
  • Insulation reinstated
  • System performance verified

What we replace

Every Coil Type Covered

Steam Heating
Chilled Water
DX Refrigerant
Heat Recovery
Frost Coil
LTHW / LPHW
Run-Around

Any manufacturer

All makes and models, including obsolete and discontinued units where parts are no longer available from the OEM.

Made to measure

Every coil manufactured to exact specification from site measurements, matched to your system's dimensions and duty.

Emergency turnaround

For AHUs out of service, we prioritise survey, procurement, and installation.

Full installation scope

Removal, fitting, pipework, testing, insulation reinstatement, and verification included.

A common cause of failure

Frost damage from
control failure

The most common cause of coil damage is freezing due to control failure. When frost protection controls fail or are incorrectly set, chilled water and LTHW coils can sustain serious internal damage that is not always visible until the system is returned to service.

In addition to replacing a damaged coil, we can inspect and modify the controls that allowed the freeze to occur, reducing the risk of a repeat failure.

Book a winter health check

Before temperatures drop, we can inspect your coil condition and frost protection controls and advise on any remedial work needed.

Failed frost protection

Frost stats and freeze protection controls that are incorrectly set, faulty, or bypassed are the most frequent cause of coil freeze damage in commercial AHUs.

Split tubes and header damage

Expanding ice causes tube splits and header cracks. The damage often goes undetected until the coil leaks on restart, by which point the AHU section and insulation are also affected.

Controls inspection included

When we replace a freeze-damaged coil, we can also inspect and modify the controls that led to the failure, not just replace the coil itself.

Our Projects

Work We've Delivered

Coil replacements across commercial offices, pharmaceutical production, and automotive facilities.

Full Internal Refurbishment, City Office AHU

Commercial Office · London

Full Internal Refurbishment, City Office AHU

Relevant if: Multiple internal components have reached end of life at the same time, Air volume requirements have changed since the original installation, You need a complete strip-out and recommission rather than piecemeal repair

Frost Coil Replacement, Restricted Plantroom Access

Commercial Office · London

Frost Coil Replacement, Restricted Plantroom Access

Relevant if: Your frost or heating coil has failed and needs replacing, Restricted access means a standard single-piece coil cannot reach the plant room, You need a solution that avoids structural modifications to the building

AHU Coil Replacement, Pharmaceutical Production

Pharmaceutical / Industrial · UK

AHU Coil Replacement, Pharmaceutical Production

Relevant if: Your process environment has strict temperature and humidity tolerances, Coil replacement must match original performance exactly, Works need to be planned around production with minimum downtime

Heating Coil & Pipework Replacement, Commercial Premises

Automotive / Commercial · Farnborough

Heating Coil & Pipework Replacement, Commercial Premises

Relevant if: Your heating coil has failed or is consistently underperforming, Associated pipework also needs replacing at the same time, Works need to be completed to current installation standards

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We work with all makes and models, including obsolete units where the original manufacturer no longer supports the equipment. Provided we can measure the existing coil, we can manufacture a bespoke replacement to exact specification.

For a straightforward single-coil replacement in an accessible unit, typically one to two days on site. Larger or more complex units with multiple coils, poor access, or requiring custom manufacture will take longer. We confirm programme at quotation stage.

Heating coils (LTHW/LPHW and steam), chilled water cooling coils, DX coils, heat recovery coils, frost coils, and run-around coils. If it sits inside an AHU and transfers heat, we can replace it.

We handle emergency coil replacements where the AHU is out of service or environmental control is compromised. Lead time depends on coil type and complexity. Contact us directly to discuss urgency.

Corrosion from aggressive water chemistry or condensate, physical damage from debris ingestion, frost damage from failed freeze protection, and age-related tube erosion are the most common causes. We inspect and advise at survey stage.
