HVAC coil cleaning is a quick, easy, low-maintenance way to help increase energy efficiency. HVAC efficiency is the key to conserving energy, which translates to more money in your pocket each month. 

So let’s take a deep dive into some of the ways HVAC coil cleaning can help your business to save more money.

If you don't clean your HVAC coils, you could be wasting a lot of money on your energy bill and lowering your efficiency. 

Why? Because a dirty HVAC coil cannot supply the proper transfer of heat, resulting in greater energy consumption. A dirty system’s cooling capacity can be reduced by up to 30%, increasing operating pressure and temperatures that can result in equipment failure. 
 
The benefits of coil cleaning include energy savings, improved heat transfer, capacity regain, fewer hot calls, and improved IEQ. Incorporating a coil cleaning program will help to prevent deterioration of your coils, and this scheduled regular maintenance will reduce the risk of system failure and the need to replace machinery. 
 
Some of the benefits of coil cleaning include increased HVAC energy efficiency, higher heating efficiency, and increased air quality. Energy efficiency translates to increased performance. 
 
If your HVAC system were an athlete, coil cleaning would be the training needed to maintain and enhance performance. Coil cleaning allows for a clean energy-efficient environment that allows your HVAC system to continue operating like a well-oiled machine. 

Dirty HVAC coils can be a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, microbes, and viruses, as they’re exposed to all contaminants in the air that pass through those coils. Dust, smoke, and other pollutants and allergens can decrease the efficiency of your coils to do their job, affecting air quality for your building occupants. Our service allows for a cleaner, more comfortable environment, allowing for peace of mind in the age of COVID-19. 
 
The process of coil cleaning isn't that complicated or hard to understand but it is dirty work!
 
You should hire a professional to clean your coils to ensure that they are cleaned properly. Using high-pressure water to clean coils can create damage and doesn’t properly reach all areas needed. Our process uses 100% water recapture and disposal, with site-specific chemicals to reduce oxide. This method provides a true, deep coil cleaning service, provided by our expertly trained technicians.

Properly cleaning your HVAC coils can save more money on heating and cooling throughout the year and increase your system’s efficiency.
