The Benefits of HVAC Coatings for your Heating & AC Systems
HVAC systems are the lifeblood of a home. Keeping temperature control in check is, after all, what makes home such a comfortable place to take shelter.
Whether you’re relaxing indoors when the temperatures and humidity levels have crept up dangerously high, or you’re keeping warm while winter snow pummels down outside, your home’s heating and cooling systems are something you greatly rely on.
There are steps you can take to ensure these systems are well maintained and performing optimally. Using an HVAC coating on your heating and AC ducts is one way to protect your system and ensure it remains operational. Here’s why.
Protection
Protecting your heating system from the elements and keeping up with maintenance are pretty routine tasks. But by also using an HVAC coating on areas like the heat exchanger, coil or inside or outside systems, you’ll be taking an additional step in keeping corrosion away. Damage from the elements, debris, rain, snow, wind, as well as pollutants or chemicals that might be in the air, all put your system at risk for corrosion. This deterioration also makes the system work harder and use more energy.
Efficiency
Keeping up with routine cleaning and inspections of your HVAC system is the only way to ensure its functioning optimally. Add to this, a protective coating on the system, and you’ll further increase the chances that energy consumption is also being kept in control. This also results in smaller energy bills at the end of the month.
Durability
A system that is clean and running efficiently will also last longer over the years. Keeping it free from corrosion is made possible with a quality coating. The coating also makes it easier to clean coils during routine maintenance and keeps your HVAC system running smoothly for longer.
MicroGuard HVAC/R protective treatments can be used for heating and air conditioning equipment; coils, fins, tubes and fans. The clear protective treatments consist of inorganic, siloxane coatings and are typically used to protect various surfaces.
For HVAC systems, Microguard has been proven to increase energy efficiency while protecting against mold growth and non-ferrous metal corrosion.
