NADCA-certified cleaning of your building’s air handling units — coils, blowers, condensate pans, and dampers — for healthier indoor air and lower energy bills.
Your air handling unit (AHU) is the heart of your commercial HVAC system — the large enclosure that conditions and pushes air to every register in the building. Because every cubic foot of air your tenants and staff breathe passes through it, an AHU that is dirty, damp, or biologically fouled quietly degrades the air quality of the entire facility.
At Atlanta Air Experts, our NADCA-certified technicians clean commercial AHUs to the measurable ACR Standard — not a quick wipe-down, but a documented restoration of coils, blower assemblies, condensate systems, and internal surfaces. The result is cleaner air, restored airflow, and an HVAC system that runs the way it was engineered to.
Fouled coils are the #1 cause of weak airflow and high energy use. We wet-clean fins and faces to restore heat transfer.
Dust-loaded blower wheels lose capacity. We clean the wheel, housing, and motor compartment.
Standing water breeds mold and bacteria. We clean and flush the pan and drain line and verify drainage.
We clean dampers, actuators, and seals so the unit controls and contains air the way it should.
We clean filter racks and check for air bypass that lets dirty air skip the filters entirely.
All internal surfaces and acoustic liner are inspected and HEPA-cleaned; damaged liner is flagged for repair.
We assess the AHU’s coils, pan, blower, and liner and document condition with photos before we touch anything.
The system is placed under continuous negative pressure with HEPA-filtered collection so loosened contaminants can never spread into the building.
Brushes and compressed air dislodge debris from coils, fins, and filter banks while it is captured at the source.
Coils, condensate pan, and drain line are wet-cleaned with EPA-registered cleaners and the drain is flushed and verified.
Where mold or biofilm is found, we apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial labeled for HVAC use.
We confirm the result against the NADCA ACR Standard — a measurable clean (debris at or below 0.75 mg per 100 cm²), documented for your records.
Indoor air quality. Cooling coils and condensate pans stay wet — the perfect home for mold, bacteria, and biofilm. Because all of your supply air passes over them, a contaminated AHU seeds the whole building with spores and odors, driving tenant complaints and sick-building symptoms.
Energy & equipment life. A layer of dirt on a coil acts like a blanket, forcing the system to run longer and harder. The U.S. EPA and NADCA both note that cleaning fouled coils can deliver substantial energy savings and extend equipment life. Cleaner units also mean fewer nuisance trips and frozen coils.
