Did you know an accumulation of 0.02 of an inch of dirt on coils can cause an efficiency drop of as much as 60%? A 0.02-inch layer is the thickness of a business card!<\/p>\n

The result is a decrease in heat exchange and an increase in energy and repair costs. This may also reduce your equipment\u2019s life expectancy. This decrease in efficiency causes to compressor to work harder, resulting in premature wear or even failure. The thicker the insulation layer, the harder the compressor must work, which in turn may create hot spots in your facility, providing you with unnecessary complaints from building occupants.
