We Can Make All Copper Coils!
The Benefits of All-Copper Coils in HVAC and Refrigeration Systems
Did you know that copper is one of the most effective antiviral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial metals naturally available? In addition to its well-known thermal conductivity, copper also offers powerful hygienic and durability benefits, making it an excellent material choice for HVAC and refrigeration applications.
One of copper’s most important properties is its ability to naturally eliminate viruses and bacteria on contact. Studies have shown that many harmful microorganisms cannot survive for long periods on copper surfaces. This makes copper an ideal material in environments where cleanliness, air quality, and hygiene are critical concerns, such as commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, wine rooms, and specialty climate-controlled spaces.
All-Copper Coil Construction
At LRC Coil, we are able to manufacture fully all-copper coils, using:
- Copper tubing
- Copper fins
- Copper endplates
This all-copper construction enhances both performance and longevity. Copper’s natural resistance to corrosion helps coils withstand moisture, temperature fluctuations, and long-term exposure to demanding operating conditions. As a result, copper coils often last longer and maintain efficiency better than coils made with mixed or alternative materials.
Antimicrobial Protection and Surface Safety
Beyond performance and durability, copper coils provide an added layer of protection by reducing microbial presence on coil surfaces. Because viruses and bacteria cannot survive on copper for extended periods, copper coils help limit microbial buildup within HVAC systems. This can contribute to improved air quality and cleaner system operation over time.
In recent years, increased awareness around airborne and surface-based pathogens—such as COVID-19—has highlighted the importance of material selection in HVAC design. Copper’s antimicrobial properties make it a valuable option for systems where hygiene and safety are a priority, helping reduce the persistence of harmful microorganisms on system components.
Long-Term Performance and Reliability
Copper is also highly regarded for its excellent heat transfer capabilities, allowing coils to operate efficiently while maintaining precise temperature control. Combined with its corrosion resistance and antimicrobial benefits, copper offers a well-rounded solution for HVAC and refrigeration systems that demand reliability, efficiency, and cleanliness.
A Smarter Choice for Specialized Applications
Whether used in commercial HVAC systems, specialty refrigeration, or climate-controlled environments, all-copper coils provide long-term value through durability, efficiency, and enhanced surface hygiene. Choosing copper is not only an investment in performance, but also in system longevity and cleaner operation.
