Wholesale HVAC Coils for Contractors and Property Owners
Most people shopping for a coil are not browsing. A technician diagnosed a leak, or a system is being replaced, and the job is stalled until the right part is in hand.
The complication is that an evaporator coil is not a standalone purchase. It is half of a matched pair.
The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute makes this explicit. For split systems, AHRI certifies the performance of the system rather than the individual units. A certified match lists the indoor and outdoor combination together and carries its own Certified Reference Number.
So capacity alone will not tell you whether a coil is correct. The condenser it runs against, the cabinet it sits on, and the metering device all matter.
As an evaporator coil supplier and wholesale HVAC coil supplier Philadelphia contractors rely on, our job is to get you the right unit the first time. Our 120+ 5 star reviews make us more than credible to do so.
Shop Evaporator Coils by Size
Two numbers decide which coil fits. Tonnage has to match the condenser and the calculated load. Cabinet letter has to match the width of the furnace or air handler underneath it.
Our AC coils for sale Philadelphia buyers come in for are organized below by capacity. Browse the full coil catalog or jump to your size.
1.5 Ton Evaporator Coils
The smallest residential capacity we carry, common in condos, additions, and upper floor zones.
2 Ton Evaporator Coils
Goodman across three cabinet widths, plus a York option. A frequent size for smaller rowhomes and zoned second floors.
2.5 Ton Evaporator Coils
The deepest part of the catalog. Multiple cabinet widths and two coil heights, so you can match an existing cabinet without changing the plenum.
3 Ton Evaporator Coils
The most common size in the Philadelphia market, covering much of the single family rowhome and twin housing in the city and surrounding townships.
3.5 Ton Evaporator Coils
C and D cabinets for wider furnaces and air handlers. A common step up when a 3 ton system no longer keeps up with an addition or finished basement.
4 Ton Evaporator Coils
Larger single family homes and light commercial spaces, where airflow and duct sizing matter as much as the coil.
5 Ton Evaporator Coils
The top of the residential range, in C and D cabinets, for large homes, open floor plans, and small commercial jobs.
Brands We Stock
Goodman Evaporator Coils
The Goodman CAPTA cased line runs from 1.5 through 5 ton and spans cabinet letters A through D.
That cabinet range is the practical advantage. When you replace a coil on an existing furnace, cabinet width is not negotiable. Having one capacity in several widths lets you match what is already there instead of modifying the plenum or swapping the furnace.
A Goodman HVAC coil is also widely cross referenced against other manufacturers’ condensers, which makes the line a common choice on mixed equipment jobs.
York Evaporator Coils
We carry York cased coils in the XAFA, XAHB, and XAHD series. These cover the 2, 3, and 4 ton capacities.
York is the natural match when the outdoor unit is already York or a related Johnson Controls brand. Keeping the pair within one manufacturer simplifies the AHRI lookup and usually the warranty conversation too.
If you need a coil for a brand we do not carry, call anyway. A Goodman or York cased coil is often an approved match for another manufacturer’s condenser, and we can help you verify it.
Choosing Coil Tonnage
Tonnage is a capacity rating. One ton equals 12,000 BTU per hour of cooling, so a 3 ton coil is rated to move 36,000 BTU per hour.
The coil has to match the condenser it runs against, not a square footage estimate. Proper capacity comes from a load calculation. Rules of thumb routinely produce oversized systems that short cycle and dehumidify poorly.
Cabinet letter is a separate decision from tonnage. The letter denotes the width of the enclosure, running from A as the narrowest through D as the widest. A coil can be perfectly correct on capacity and still fail to seat because the cabinet is the wrong width.
Coil height varies within a single tonnage as well. The 2.5 ton Goodman range includes both 3022 and 3026 units, which differ in height at identical capacity. That matters when clearance above the furnace is tight.
For a replacement evaporator coil, the simplest path is to match what is already installed. Bring both model numbers to the counter and we will confirm the HVAC replacement coil that fits.
Why People Buy Coils from E&L
We hold coil inventory here in Northeast Philadelphia, so counter orders do not wait on freight from a regional distribution center. That is the difference between finishing a job today and rescheduling it.
Pickup is available during counter hours, and delivery can be arranged by phone. Call before you drive out and we will confirm logistics.
Our staff can cross reference a condenser model against cabinet width and capacity rather than just reading a shelf tag. Tell us what is installed and what failed, and we will point you to the right coil.
Pricing is the same for the trade and the public. Every AC coil for sale here carries no account requirement and no minimum order, so a homeowner replacing one coil is treated like a contractor buying for a route.
We deliver across the entire country and we offer same day pickup,
Coil Only vs Complete HVAC System
Replacing the coil alone makes sense when the rest of the system has life left. If the condenser is recent, the refrigerant type is current, and the coil failed early, coil only is the economical path.
It stops making sense when the condenser is aging, the refrigerant types do not align, or the pairing would no longer deliver its rated efficiency.
This is where the AHRI point matters most. Certified ratings apply to a specific indoor and outdoor combination listed in the AHRI directory. Bolting a new coil onto an old condenser does not carry the rated performance of either unit alone.
There is a practical consequence too. Utility rebates, tax credits, and efficiency programs frequently require the AHRI certificate for the matched pair, and a mismatched system will not produce one.
If you are weighing a full replacement, we also carry condensers, air handlers, and furnaces.
What to Know Before You Buy
Match the Coil to the Condenser
Capacity, refrigerant, and metering device all have to line up. Confirm the pairing in the AHRI directory before ordering. Refrigerant standards continue to shift, so verify what your condenser is rated for rather than assuming.
Measure the Cabinet Opening
Cabinet letter governs width, so measure the furnace or air handler the coil will sit on. A coil that is right on capacity and wrong on width will not seat, and no amount of sheet metal work makes that clean.
Refrigerant Handling Is Regulated
Opening a refrigerant circuit is federally regulated. The EPA requires Section 608 technician certification for anyone who attaches gauges, adds or removes refrigerant, or otherwise breaks into the circuit. Purchases are restricted the same way: refrigerant may only be sold to certified technicians or employers who can show they employ one.
Permits and Licensed Installation
Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and coil replacement is mechanical work.
In Philadelphia, the Department of Licenses and Inspections requires a Mechanical Permit to install devices regulated by the Philadelphia Mechanical and Fuel Gas Codes, which includes heating, venting, and air conditioning.
In New Jersey, mechanical work falls under the Uniform Construction Code administered by the Department of Community Affairs Division of Codes and Standards under N.J.A.C. 5:23. Permits are issued through your local enforcing agency.
In New York City, the Department of Buildings handles permitting and filings through DOB NOW, with licensed tradespeople filing the work.
E&L supplies the equipment. Installation is handled by your licensed HVAC contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size evaporator coil do I need?
The coil must match your condenser’s capacity, and that capacity should come from a Manual J load calculation rather than a square footage estimate. If you are replacing a failed coil on a working system, match the condenser you already have.
What do the cabinet letters A, B, C, and D mean on a Goodman coil?
The letter identifies cabinet width, from A as the narrowest to D as the widest, independent of tonnage. It has to match the width of the furnace or air handler the coil sits on.
Can I replace just the evaporator coil, or do I need the whole system?
Coil only works when the condenser is relatively new and the refrigerant type still aligns. If the condenser is aging or the pair would not deliver its rated efficiency, replacing both is usually better.
Do you carry coils for brands other than Goodman and York?
Our coil catalog covers Goodman and York. Cased coils from these lines are frequently approved matches for other manufacturers’ condensers, so call with your condenser model and we will check.
Can homeowners buy coils from E&L, or is it contractors only?
Homeowners are welcome. We sell to the trade and the public at the same pricing, with no account or minimum order. The installation itself requires a licensed contractor.
Does E&L handle bulk orders for HVAC coils?
Yes. Call the counter with your models and quantities and we will quote it and confirm logistics.
