Dirty ducts are unable to operate efficiently and waste money.
Companies are constantly searching for ways to save money each year, but often a major source of waste and money loss goes unnoticed, and it’s right above their head. When the air ducts that crisscross throughout a building go without regular ductwork cleaning services they can build up with debris; this can cause the system to run less efficiently. All it takes to save your company significant amounts of money is to look up.
A study by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineering, Inc. found that just cleaning one air duct system can provide savings to the company.
Cleaning just one air handler to operate at peak efficiency gave an energy savings of over $40,000 in a year.
That’s an immediate savings that your business would otherwise be wasting on energy costs.
The savings of $40,000 due to the ductwork cleaning also doesn’t take other intangible costs into consideration. By making sure the HVAC is clean it helps lower the load on the system, keeping it operating longer. If the system is dirty and inefficient it will increase the load and stress on the whole system, causing parts to break down and wear out faster. Repair costs for commercial duct work can be costly, and having to replace even parts of the system can cost thousands of dollars. Having duct cleaning services performed regularly can help prevent having to pay these costs unnecessarily.
Another benefit of air duct cleaning is one that you will be able to notice. The industrial HVAC system recirculates the air at least 5 times per day, meaning that if the system is dirty the workers in the building will be breathing in those contaminates. This can lead to health problems, low morale, and decreased employee efficiency. Increasing the indoor air quality for the people in your building will help to decrease company losses from illness or inefficient employees.
