Coils Express

What Coils Express does

Coils Express is a privately held U.S. manufacturer specializing in custom replacement coils and heat exchangers for HVAC and industrial process applications. The company is headquartered in Branford, Connecticut, and operates a single production facility producing tube bundles, heat exchangers, hot water coils, chilled water coils, steam coils, steam distributing coils, condenser coils, evaporator coils, immersion plate coils, refrigerant DX coils, reheat coils, and hot-water duct booster coils. Its core technical capability centers on custom fabrication to OEM specifications, supported by an accumulated reference library of air-handler and coil specifications across equipment ages, computer sizing, factory drawings, and tube-bundle design flexibility (U-tube/straight tube, fixed/floating tubesheet, enhanced tubes, low-fin, double-wall vented configurations).

The company sells exclusively on a one-time, quote-based hardware model with no disclosed list pricing. Customers engage via toll-free phone (866-43COILS), direct phone (203-481-9360), or email ([email protected]), and can submit nameplate photos or fill-in-the-blank dimension sheets for custom orders. Service is positioned as 24/7 personal support. Coils Express serves two primary segments: commercial and industrial facilities needing urgent replacement coils due to coil failure from old age or freeze-up, and industrial process industries (aerospace, food & beverage, healthcare, oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, etc.) requiring heat exchangers. Marketing is concentrated on the company's own website and blog with direct phone/email as the primary demand-conversion channel; no social, paid-search, or partnership distribution signals were disclosed.

Operationally, the company advertises standard 10-12 working-day shipment cycles for replacement coils with expedited 5-day and 2-day rush options and free standard shipping, and 5-6 week standard delivery for new heat exchangers with rush availability. No data on headcount, revenue, funding, ownership, management team, certifications, patents, or institutional investment is publicly disclosed, and the firm appears to be a small founder/owner-operated business serving the U.S. domestic market.

Products and services

• Tube Bundle Heat exchanger component positioned within a shell where water circulates and is heated by steam or other fluids. Offered in U-tube or straight tube configurations with various alloys and ASME stamping available; designed for industrial heat exchange applications.
• Hot Water Coil Hydronic heat exchanger using hot water from a boiler to warm air or extract moisture. Air passes through fins heated by water circulating through tubes; used in commercial and industrial air handler units, rooftop units, and downstream ductwork.
• Immersion Plate Coils Plates or banks of plates immersed in a container with liquid to directly heat or cool its contents. Sturdy design enables easy cleaning and maintenance and handles clean water or heavily contaminated liquids including high viscosities.
• Heat Exchanger Premium heat exchangers tailored to precise requirements or matching existing specifications. Resolves complex challenges related to fluid flow, heat transfer, and corrosion through material selection and innovative fabrication designs; standard shipping timeline is 5-6 weeks with rush options.
• Condenser Coil Tailor-made coils designed to efficiently reject heat from air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Condenses refrigerant entering as superheated gas within the coil tubes; typically 1-3 rows deep with a preference for 3/8 inch tubes to handle high pressures up to 600 psia.
• Evaporator Coil Custom coils for cooling or dehumidifying air streams. Liquid-vapor mixture enters the coil, undergoes evaporation absorbing heat from the surrounding air, and exits as gas; typically 4-8 rows with 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch tube diameters.
• Steam Distributing Coil Heat source with a tube-within-a-tube design that shields the coil from freezing. Steam enters the central tube and disperses through small holes to fill the outer tubes, facilitating heat exchange with the fins; operates in the 5-15 PSI range and can withstand up to 100 PSI with thickest tubes.
• Steam Coil Prevalent heat source within air handlers delivering warmth to commercial and industrial structures. Air is heated as it passes through aluminum, stainless steel, or copper fins absorbing heat from steam in the tubes; typically operates at low pressure (5-15 PSI).
• Chilled Water Coil Hydronic cooling coil for cooling or dehumidifying air streams. Air passes through finned surfaces while water or ethylene/propylene glycol solution circulates within the tubes; used as a heat exchanger in commercial and industrial air handler units.
• Opposite End Steam Coil Replacement Replacement coils designed specifically for opposite-end steam coil applications. Integral components within HVAC systems facilitating efficient transfer of steam for optimal heat exchange with uniform temperature distribution.
• Refrigerant DX Coil Direct expansion coil integral to air conditioning systems that facilitates heat transfer by directly cooling air passing over it using refrigerant as the cooling medium. Offers increased energy efficiency and faster cooling response times.
• Reheat Coil HVAC Coils for precisely adjusting air temperatures to ensure consistent comfort levels within HVAC systems. Operates by modulating air temperature to guarantee a uniform thermal environment; replacement solutions aligned with system specifications.
• Hot Water Duct Booster Coils Booster coils that transfer heat from hot water to air flowing through ducts to maximize heat transfer and ensure consistent indoor temperatures while contributing to energy savings. Versatile and adaptable for various HVAC configurations.
