How Coil Cleaning can help your Denver facility to be more energy-efficient

Studies verify that coil cleaning saves energy, and saving energy can save you money.
Saving energy not only makes sense environmentally but cleaning your HVAC Coils can help your Denver facility to be more energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Here in Denver, the dry climate makes air quality in your facilities all the more important, and one way to address that is through regular, routine maintenance of your HVAC system. According to Buildings.com, dirty coils force compressors to run longer and work harder than required.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), major utilities, and other experts, dirty coils can significantly increase HVAC energy usage and associated utility costs.
Regular maintenance to keep coils clean helps to regulate power costs and life expectancy. According to ACHR News, clean coils makes dollars and sense, resulting in:
- Significant energy savings
- Peak equipment efficiencies
- Enhanced reliability
- Longer service life
- Reduced breakdowns
- Improved IAQ
According to an ASHRAE Study, HVAC Coil Cleaning can equal up to $40,000 in savings from just one unit, resulting in major financial savings.
In a 2010 Case Study by Richmond Hospital, “the savings show that a combination of regular coil cleaning and filter changes results in the best saving potential. The savings from coil cleaning only; filter replacement only; and both ranged from 10% to 26% of total fan energy consumption.”
Being proactive in adopting a plan for coil cleaning maintenance can have a serious impact on your profitability. Denver businesses can dramatically reduce labor costs and downtime while improving airflow and deferring capital costs.
Cleaning heat transfer surfaces in an affordable, cost-effective manner brings a confirmed return on investment, saving money while saving the planet. For more information on our services, please request a free assessment.
