New energy savings data was disclosed on Feb. 2 in an educational presentation at the RFMA (Restaurant Facility Managers Association) Convention in San Diego, CA.  It was generated by a consultant to the respected Food Service Technology Center and is believed by us to have broad applicability to all types of plug-in cooling appliances. Here it is:

Condenser coil cleaning was performed on a 6 year old, 2-door glass merchandiser. Such cleaning produced a 47% reduction in both electric usage and cost (or about $625 per UNIT). [A non-cleaned unit consumed 24.19 kWh/yr at a cost of $1325/yr. The cleaned unit needed 12.76 kWh/yr and cost only $700/yr to run.]*

An excellent description of the possible, major repair costs you may face if you neglect this cleaning has also just been published: http://bit.ly/173veNR .

Finally, we have developed the unique COILPOD dust hood allowing this cleaning to be done in a "green"/no-mess manner with compressed air and vacuum.  Here's a link to our demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPKQFq4vqzA.  Our site coilpod.com has more information plus an online store for purchase of bag(s). I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have on the general coil cleaning topic or our unique cleaning aid.
