This month, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) released a first-of-its-kind, peer-reviewed energy study. The study, Impacts of HVAC Cleaning on Energy Consumption and Supply Airflow: A Multi-Climate Evaluation, provides incredible insight into the benefits of routine HVAC system cleaning for indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and system performance.
NADCA’s research is the first large-scale analysis of HVAC cleaning as an energy-saving intervention. The study focused on buildings in four different climates and assessed HVAC systems before and after cleaning. Key performance measurements were energy consumption, supply airflow, and system efficiency.
Key Findings:
1. Cleaning reduced fan and blower energy consumption by 41% to 60%.
2. Supply airflow increased by 10% to 46% post-cleaning.
3. Cleaning decreased pressure fluctuations and improved overall operational efficiency.
4. Positive impacts were observed across diverse environmental conditions.
As energy costs continue to rise, keeping your system running efficiently is vital. Only NADCA-certified air duct cleaning providers can offer the best equipment and service, ensuring your system is maintained at peak performance.
