Clean Commercial HVAC Systems Beat The HeatDuring the hot summer months many businesses see their operating expenses skyrocket, and struggle to address the cause of these increased costs of staying open. There is one culprit that leads to these higher utility bills, and luckily there is an easy way to actually lower the costs of using it. The HVAC system of commercial buildings runs harder during the Summer to try to cool off indoor air for your employees, but according the Department of Energy these HVAC systems account for at least 15% of the energy used by a commercial building. To make this worse during the hotter months, an average of 30% of the energy used by the HVAC system is completely wasted.

 

What can you do to address this issue and see an immediate return on investment?

A thorough, professional HVAC cleaning that removes collected dirt from the entire system can greatly help reduce operating costs of the HVAC system.

 

According to NADCA, professionally clean commercial HVAC systems will help maximize efficiency and performance during the hottest months of the year, when the air conditioners run the most often. “Dirty or contaminated filters and poorly maintained air handling systems can reduce air flow and efficiency,” says Bill Benito, President of NADCA. “With the temperatures hitting record highs this summer, it’s extremely important to keep units cleaned and unrestricted.”

 

Having these HVAC cleaning services regularly performed will not only help with immediate operating costs, but will also help save up to 40% on the maintenance costs over the life of the system. This is especially true in the Summer when the system has to work harder than usual; if maintenance hasn’t been performed it will be more likely to be overworked and fail, resulting in expensive repairs.
