For customers operating in industrial or commercial sectors, HCTS strongly advises entering into preventative maintenance & cleaning contracts which will cover heat-exchange coils, cooling tower cooling coils, air-flow control devices, filtration devices, and air-handling equipment (AHU’s). Air Handling Units are important to clean regularly if you wish to prevent restrictions, blockages and more importantly, bacterial contamination. Mineral deposits, dirt, dust, debris & scum can result in inefficient cooling tower system performance as well as the degradation of air-flow, which could significantly affect several components of the overall HVAC system.

Given the environment that air handling units are typically installed in, they tend not to last as long as many other cooling tower system components. Damaging environmental factors such as rain, sleet, hail, ice and snow cause major rusting in addition to other types of damage to metal components. For this reason, refurbishment of the metal, along with layers of protective coating, can significantly extend the life expectancy of air handler units (AHU’s). HCTS Inc. has countless years of experience conducting preventative maintenance for cooling towers and related parts.

We provide service, cleanings & inspections for the following air handler unit components:

• air blowers
• filtration equipment
