Service Tip: Let's clean out all that cottonwood
One of the most common, and avoidable performance issues on HVAC air conditioning units is operating with dirty and corroded coils. Both the condenser and the evaporator coils are engineered to provide optimum heat transfer as required by the space being conditioned. So when coils become dirty or corroded this has an adverse effect on how optimal the unit will run. This is especially true right now as we are at the end of cottonwood season.  
 
Why is this a problem?
Equipment operating with dirty coils can use more than 30% more energy than equipment with clean coils. Don’t end up paying for more power on equipment that is working harder and harder to get the same or less cooling.
 
Don’t waste another dollar
By contracting us for your coil cleaning to remove cottonwood and other contaminants you will be protecting your equipment and maintaining a healthy environment for your customers and employees. We are pleased to offer a 5% discount on coiling cleanings for the months of June and July.
