Want to learn how Your HVAC Equipment Can Help Protect Against Viruses?
This time last year, I don’t think anyone thought we would still be in the midst of a pandemic. COVID-19 is something we’re all still dealing with, and there is still cause for concern, in order to keep us all happy and healthy. HVAC coil cleaning can help against poor air quality, viruses, and bacteria, and it can potentially prevent the spread of COVID-19. Since HVAC systems protect against viruses, coil cleaning is the best solution against poor air quality and bacteria. Here’s how:

Indoor Air Quality and Your Health:
Poorly maintained air quality can be a real problem, as allergens, dust and debris can all build up. According to Great Dane HVAC, “The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks indoor air quality as one of the top five environmental risks to the public’s health.” Considering that most people spend the majority of their time indoors, this can be especially scary. Proper ventilation is necessary to keep and maintain fresh indoor air quality, as the air flow is what prevents stale air, stagnancy and germs. According to CoolSys, “While it is not enough on its own to prevent transmission of COVID-19, ventilation that increases the percentage of outside air sources
can be a part of a larger strategy to reduce the spread.” Some HVAC systems are able to draw from an outside air intake. If proper ventilation can’t be obtained, in certain circumstances a dedicated outdoor air system may be necessary.
What Happens If Buildup Occurs For Too Long?
When build-up occurs for too long, this can directly affect humidity levels, which can lead to a build-up of bacteria and disease. This build-up can consist of biological contaminants, such as viruses, mold and mildew, along with things like dust, pollen, dander and other contaminants. In addition to HVAC coil cleaning, considering options such as UV lamps, air purifiers, air filtration systems, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and ventilators are recommended to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Reduce Poor Air Quality and Bacteria Buildup By Cleaning HVAC Coils:
As we learn more about the virus, it’s become apparent that COVID-19 can spread through the air, and your HVAC system can play a crucial role in preventing airborne transmission. Since HVAC systems protect against viruses, it is now more important than ever to be proactive regarding routine maintenance of your HVAC system. Healthy air quality can be achieved through HVAC coil cleaning, allowing for a clean and energy efficient environment for you and your building occupants.

As the summer months approach, your cooling system is about to face its toughest test of the year. Neglecting maintenance now could lead to higher energy bills, inefficient cooling, and costly breakdowns when demand is at its peak.
Spring is the ideal time to tackle HVAC maintenance before demand spikes in the summer. At Common Cents Energy Recovery, we specialize in professional HVAC coil deep cleaning and system optimization, helping building owners and facility managers across Denver and the Front Range save money and prevent downtime.
As temperatures drop, your HVAC system becomes the unsung hero of comfort, keeping your spaces warm and functional. But winter also brings added strain to these systems, making regular maintenance crucial.
For large facilities, January presents the perfect opportunity to kickstart energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns by prioritizing HVAC coil cleaning.
For many facility managers, unused budget funds don’t carry over to the new year, meaning it’s “use it or lose it.” Investing in HVAC coil cleaning now not only maximizes your budget but also provides benefits that will carry over into next year.
Is your HVAC system ready for the colder months ahead? For large building owners and facility managers, ensuring HVAC efficiency is key to providing a comfortable environment for occupants and keeping energy costs down.
With the benefits of increased efficiency, extended equipment life, and reduced downtime, there’s no better time than Fall to clean your cooling systems.
Fall offers a unique window of opportunity to service your cooling systems with minimal disruption. During this time, cooling demands are lower, making it easier to schedule maintenance without affecting your building's comfort levels. By taking care of this essential upkeep now, you’ll have your systems in peak condition when warmer weather returns.
Maintaining clean HVAC coils is essential for the efficiency, longevity, and overall performance of your HVAC system. If you've noticed any of the signs mentioned above, it's time to schedule a professional coil cleaning service.
Clean HVAC coils play a crucial role in promoting better air quality, contributing to a healthier living and working environment.
