Maintaining a clean AHU alongside clean ductwork is essential in removing airbourne pollutants.
Moreover, regular AHU cleaning will increase the efficiency of your unit which translates to savings on monthly heating/cooling energy consuption. This is one cleaning service that undoubtedly pays for itself in energy savings!
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a buildup of four one-hundredths of an inch of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can result in a 21% decrease in efficiency.
And what is more, the dominant cause of heating and cooling system failure is because of dirt and dust.
AHU cleaning includes removing, cleaning and disinfecting the blower motor (for small units) whilst medium and large units are cleaned in situ). Heat exchangers are cleaned as are both sides of the evaporative coil(s), as well as the housing of the coil and blower.
At the end of the process, the unit is re-assembled and tested.
VAV (Variable Air Volume) systems will all be cleaned if and when applicable in place.
