Proper Air Conditioner Maintenance
When coils are not cleaned regularly, particles build up in between, which makes the air handler work harder and the heat exchange process less efficient. Industry-leading organizations agree that preventative maintenance practices, such as regular coil cleanings, are key to keep equipment running at their peak efficiency, save energy and decrease the likelihood of system failures, potentially extending the life of the HVAC system.
Dirty coils also negatively impact indoor air quality. When dirt, dust and pollen are clogging the coils, more of these particles are let out into the home or office along with the cooled air. Uncleaned coils also promote the growth of bacteria, mold spores and other unhealthy organisms that can produce bad odors, allergies and generally contaminate the air.
