COMPREHENSIVE AHU & BOOSTER COIL CLEANING SOLUTIONS

We provide specialized cleaning services for air handling units and booster coils to meet the critical needs of our diverse clientele. From commercial buildings and industrial facilities to schools and hospitals, our experienced team is equipped to maintain these essential HVAC components, ensuring optimal system performance, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

Boost Energy Efficiency with AHU & Booster Coil Cleaning

We specialize in the cleaning of air handling units (AHUs) and booster coils—a service that directly translates into major energy savings and performance improvements for our clients. Dirty components force systems to work harder, driving up energy bills and shortening equipment lifespan.

Our team has helped commercial buildings save thousands of dollars by cleaning heavily clogged booster coils—avoiding costly replacements and dramatically improving airflow. In these same commercial and industrial settings, it’s common to find AHUs overwhelmed with dust and debris, especially in the return sections and motor compartments. These buildups choke the system, reduce efficiency, and cause energy usage—and costs—to skyrocket.

Whether it’s a school trying to cut operating costs or an industrial facility battling HVAC strain, our deep cleaning solutions help restore peak performance, extend equipment life, and slash utility expenses.

AIR QUALITY, HEALTH & COMFORT

Clean air handling units (AHUs) and booster coils are key to maintaining healthy indoor environments. When they’re dirty, they can circulate dust, allergens, and mold—leading to respiratory issues and poor air quality.

This is especially concerning in places like schools, hospitals, and offices, where clean air is essential. Left unaddressed, buildup can worsen asthma and other sensitivities.

Booster coils are the instrument that maintains room-by-room temperature control. When they become clogged with dust or debris, they lose their ability to regulate airflow properly—leading to uneven heating or cooling, uncomfortable hot or cold spots, and frustrated occupants.

Routine cleaning helps keep the air fresh, the system healthy, and each room at the right temperature.

OUR TRUCKS

Our Vac Trucks are self-sustained PTO driven units. They are complete with a large air compressor and vacuum systems. Dirt is collected in chambers right on the truck so we don’t have to drag it through your building or home. All filtration also occurs at the truck so it is not done in your building or home.

Do they suck? Yes they do. Upwards of 15,000 Cubic Feet Per Minute to be exact. A typical shop vac is 150 CFM so imagine 100 shops vacs being turned on all at the same time and attaching them to your ductwork or surface to be cleaned.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Over time, air handlers accumulate dust, mold, and debris, which can reduce airflow, spread contaminants, and force your HVAC system to work harder. Cleaning your AHU improves indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and overall system performance.

For most commercial systems, air handlers should be professionally cleaned every 1–3 years. However, facilities with higher usage, allergies, or environmental factors (like construction dust or humidity) may need more frequent service.

Common warning signs include:

  • Increased energy bills

  • Weak or uneven airflow

  • Stuffy or musty-smelling rooms

  • Dust buildup around vents

  • HVAC system running longer than normal

A proper AHU cleaning includes:

  • Removing and cleaning access panels

  • Cleaning the blower, motor, and fan assembly

  • Cleaning all other compartments including: supply, return, fresh air, exhaust etc…
  • Air-washing and brushing coils

  • Fogging for mold or odor control if needed

  • Inspecting for moisture issues or microbial growth

Dust, debris, and microbial buildup can clog the fins of a booster coil, restricting airflow and reducing heat transfer. Dirty coils force your HVAC system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, and premature wear on components.

  • Rooms that are too hot or cold

  • Poor airflow in specific areas

  • Rising energy costs

  • Musty or unpleasant odors from vents
    If you’re experiencing these, it’s likely time for a booster coil cleaning.

We typically use high-powered vacuums, compressed air, and soft brushing tools to remove buildup without damaging the coil. In some cases, we’ll fog the area with EPA-approved solutions to prevent mold or bacteria growth. The goal is a deep clean that restores performance and improves air quality.

The cost varies based on your structures HVAC system.

We will review your buildings HVAC prints if you have them available and/or do a site walkthrough to determine costs. HVAC prints can be emailed to our team if you have then in a electronic format. We have large format printers, scanners, etc. A written proposal with pricing is then prepared.

CLEAN AIR. HAPPY PEOPLE.
