Who doesn’t want to conserve energy and save money? I know I do! In today’s world we are constantly looking for ways to stretch each dollar and spend money wisely. So when easy solutions to do both are found, they should be shared! Conserving energy and getting the maximum efficiency out of your air-conditioning equipment can be a very effective method to preserving your hard-earned money and keeping your space cool.
Evaporator coils (inside the building) and condenser coils (outside the building) are aimed to deliver the best cooling possible. In order to provide the maximum efficiency, these coils need to be clean. In your day-to-day use coils come in contact with pollen, dust, dirt, grease, and all kinds of grime that can be found in the air on a daily basis. YUCK! These particles land on the coil surfaces and build up over time. Need to see it for yourself? Just go outside and look at what condition your own condenser fins are in. If your unit looks more like the second picture…
…It’s obviously time to do some cleaning! It is likely that your own unit could be covered in dirt, grass, or even cotton fuzz. This does not give the coil the opportunity to reach maximum efficiency.
