Coil fouling doesn’t just harm the environment and indoor air quality—it’s also a major drain on your wallet. With HVAC systems typically being the largest operational expense in buildings, fouled coils can quietly inflate energy bills and maintenance costs. Let’s break down the financial impact.
The Cost of Inefficiency
When HVAC coils are fouled, heat transfer efficiency drops dramatically. This forces the system to work harder, consuming more energy. Blue Box’s data shows that coil fouling can cost buildings between $0.25 and $0.50 per square foot in excess energy expenses annually. For a 100,000-square-foot building, that’s $25,000 to $50,000 per year.
Equipment Wear and Tear
Fouling also shortens equipment lifespan by causing excessive wear and tear. Over time, this leads to costly repairs and premature replacements, further straining budgets. Investing in coil restoration can significantly extend the life of your HVAC system, reducing long-term costs.
Conclusion
Ignoring coil fouling is like leaving money on the table. By addressing this issue with Blue Box’s innovative solutions, you can cut energy costs, reduce system wear, and improve overall efficiency.
