Energy Savings
Contaminants within the heating and cooling system can cause it to work harder and shorten the lifespan of components within the system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use. When a HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature allowing less energy to be used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is one concern that building managers and building inhabitants have when they decide to investigate a HVAC system. Through normal occupation in a building, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation can causes a build-up of contaminants withing the air handler and throughout the duct-work.
While a contaminated HVAC system doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy air, the situation may be contributing to larger health issues or harbouring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.
