A/C Condenser Coil Cleaning

As part of the Energy Fitness Program’s HVAC component, the program can provide an A/C condenser coil cleaning for your business which includes:

• Clean and check the condenser coil: Dirty condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electric bill.
  
  
• Check filters: A clogged filter causes the air-conditioning unit to run continuously and may cause the coil to freeze, shortening the unit’s life.
  
  
• Check proper refrigerant charge via temperature difference: This is necessary to ensure the whole system is operating effectively.
  

Efficient operation of your central air conditioner requires a free flow of air over the coils in the outdoor unit. Anything that blocks this air flow forces the unit to work harder. Keeping the coils clean and clear of debris helps your air conditioner work at peak efficiency and reduces operating costs.
Changing your filters on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your system operates efficiently and economically. An excessive buildup of dirt and dust particles on the filter forces the system to run longer to maintain your set temperature. This can make utility bills rise and cause your system to break down.
Your filters should be checked every month and replaced when necessary with the same size filter as originally supplied. Permanent filters should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
