Tips
Why clean central heating and air conditioning systems?
- FACT: 9 out of 10 systems failures are caused by dirt and dust. (LCES)
- FACT: Clean systems restore capacity and lessen running time. Translation: Savings on monthly heating and cooling bills. (LCES)
- Fact: A build-up of .042 inches of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%. (EPA)
- FACT: Most commercially purchased fiberglass filters are only 7% efficient in stopping dirt, dust, pollen, etc, from passing through it. (ASHRAE)
