What Air Duct Cleaning Can Do For You
Temperature Drop
The average temperature drop (or DeltaT at the cooling coil) before cleaning was 9.6°. After cleaning, the temperature drop was 15.5°. That is a 61% improvement.
CFM
The CFM is defined as the volume of air moving through the system. After professional duct cleaning, there was an average improvement of 54%.
Cooling Capacity
The cooling capacity of a duct system is defined as the BTU output or “heat transfer rate.” After professional duct cleaning, the average improvement of ductwork cooling capacity was 225%.
Air duct cleaning services for commercial properties is a must. However, many property owners are not even aware it should be done. You can ask any commercial property owner that has had professional air duct cleaning done, and they can tell you how it has positively changed the air quality in their building and reduced their utility costs.
With the amount of activity going on and people coming in and out of commercial properties, it’s not surprising that dust and debris builds up quickly. However, property owners are typically surprised by the sheer amount of debris that is clogging their air ducts. This puts extra wear and tear on an HVAC system and can actually make people sick.
What is the Deal with Industrial Air Duct Cleaning Service?
Air ducts are a vital part of your HVAC system, especially for high populated and high traffic places like commercial buildings. Because air ducts are part of the HVAC system that you can’t see and are sometimes hard to access, they can be difficult to check for build-up and debris without the help of a professional.
Often, this part of your HVAC system is largely ignored until it becomes a problem. Providing maintenance every few years can help to ensure that your air ducts never have a problem. For commercial property owners, it is recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA) that for most businesses, the HVAC units be inspected annually and the ductwork every 2 years to determine the need for cleaning.
Healthy Indoor Air
It’s estimated that roughly 80% of Americans are exposed to dust mites every day. Additionally, dust, animal dander, organic matter, can all be contained in your ductwork. These allergens are then blown around your commercial or industrial building and can make people sick.
Anyone in your commercial property that suffers from allergies or has a respiratory problem like asthma is at risk. With the COVID outbreak, it’s more important than ever to address issues with your air ducts to avoid upset employees or customers and even legal issues. The allergens that build up in air duct systems can be dangerous, and they can be triggers for allergy or asthma attacks.
Professional commercial & industrial air duct cleaning can help to reduce the risk of these allergens polluting the indoor air. You can provide a safe workspace, protect your employees and customers, and improve your HVAC system efficiency. The eye-popping results (see above) for efficiency gains when professional HVAC/duct system cleaning has been performed on commercial systems speaks for itself.
