Spine Fin™

Spine Fin™ is the name of our exclusive condenser coils that are engineered for excellence. Excellence is achieved by designing to a higher standard - our revolutionary technology makes for stronger, more efficient cooling coils. A Spine Fin™ coil consists of thousands of tiny fins bonded to continuous aluminum refrigerant tubing. 

The tiny fins create a greater surface area than traditional coils, helping it more efficiently transfer heat from your home. We feature all-aluminum Spine Fin™ Coils in most of our central air conditioners and heat pumps. The novel design enhances airflow and heat transfer while resisting corrosion and leaks. 

These exclusive all-aluminum condenser coils have proven far more reliable than traditional coils with copper and aluminum. Plus, aqueous glue releases fewer VOCs. One continuous piece requires fewer brazed joints, so it offers extreme resistance to corrosion and leaks.

How to clean Spine Fin™ coils

Your best bet is to schedule professional HVAC maintenance. A trained HVAC technician can clean your coils safely and effectively. While they’re there, they will inspect your condenser unit, clean other parts, check the refrigerant levels, and check the indoor air handler or furnace for issues as well.

Dirty coils can decrease system efficiency and increase your cooling costs. You can avoid those pitfalls by properly maintaining your system. Consider finding the best HVAC service in your area and sticking with them via a maintenance agreement. They will then have a record of past system tune-ups and issues to be aware of.
