HVAC systems are a critical part of every local school here in Colorado. These systems keep the school, students, faculty, and staff cool when it is hot outside and warm when it gets cold. HVAC systems are made up of many coils and components that help to make these functions a possible.

HVAC coils are the most important components of an HVAC system for commercial buildings and for schools on Colorado. These coils come in two categories; evaporator coils which absorb the heat and humidity from the air and the condenser coils which are used to expel the heat outside the building.

The more these HVAC coils work (like when it is really, really hot out), the more they get congested with debris like dust, dirt, grease, and bacteria which clog the coils and reduce their efficiency. When they are covered in dirt and debris, these HVAC coils do not transfer heat effectively which leads to several problems that affect your school office HVAC cooling system.

Since the condenser part of a school's HVAC system is outside, it is more prone to smog and pollution. The accumulation of dirt and debris on the condenser coil traps the heat inside and reduces the rate at which the condenser can function effectively. The accumulation of dirt in the evaporator coil affects its ability to remove the heat from your school building. When you forget to change the filters on a regular basis, it makes it easier for the airborne particles to clog up in the evaporator coils which cause you maintenance issues and increase energy costs.

HVAC coil cleaning is a critical maintenance step for all schools in Colorado because it helps keep everyone cool and happy and save our school systems money throughout the year that they then can invest in the students. Here are some ways that coil cleaning can help your school:

Reduced energy bills:
The collection of dirt and debris in HVAC coils can greatly affect their overall function. This dirt and debris clog the cooling coils and thus make them work twice as hard. When this happens, the increased rate of work affects the workability of the HVAC coils which translates into higher energy consumption. Local schools can bank on this fact and reduce the total amount of money they spend on utility bills.

Less breakdown:
A good maintenance is essential for the prevention of mechanical breakdown in HVAC systems. HVAC coil cleaning reduces the rate at which the cooling systems break down or require repair. The more the HVAC coils are kept clean, the better the chance of the cooling systems to work perfectly for quite some time, allowing the schools to save more.

Longer system lifespan:
The presence of dirt in the coils affects the overall lifespan of the HVAC systems. In the course of time, the increase in the wear and tear happening in the cooling system due to the accumulation of dirt reduces their lifespan. The longer the lifespan of the HVAC cooling system, the lesser the amount of money spent on purchasing a new one.
