January marks a fresh start, not just for your personal goals but also for your facility’s maintenance strategy.


Planning early in the year ensures your HVAC system operates efficiently, reduces operating costs, and avoids unexpected downtime. One resolution every facility manager should make? Schedule coil cleaning early in 2026.


Why Clean Coils Are a Smart New Year’s Resolution:



  • Boost energy efficiency: Dirty coils reduce airflow and heat transfer, increasing energy usage. Clean coils improve performance and lower heating costs.

  • Prevent costly breakdowns: Early maintenance identifies small issues before they become major problems, preventing unplanned downtime during critical winter months.

  • Extend equipment life: A well-maintained system lasts longer, reducing replacement costs and improving reliability.

  • Plan for the year ahead: January is ideal for scheduling preventive maintenance, aligning with budgets and long-term maintenance plans.


Starting the year with a comprehensive HVAC maintenance plan also supports long-term operational planning.
Clean coils can improve indoor air quality, which benefits both staff and visitors, and helps facilities meet sustainability and energy efficiency goals. 

Early-year maintenance sets the tone for proactive upkeep throughout 2026, making it easier to anticipate costs, schedule inspections, and maintain a smooth-running building.


Taking action now lays the foundation for a year of fewer surprises, lower expenses, and optimal system performance. 


Start 2026 proactively. By scheduling HVAC coil cleaning now, your facility will run smoothly, save energy, and enjoy fewer emergency repairs—setting the tone for a more efficient year.
