_There has been scant data in the literature about the energy savings. Literature
that can be realized from condenser coil cleaning of plug-in cooling appliances.
Yet until now!_

Energy savings data disclosed from the RFMA (Restaurant Facility Managers Association)
Convention in San Diego, CA blew my away. The presentation called Condenser [coil cleaning](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/08/ravens-and-maryland-stadium-authority-recognized/)
performed on a 6 year old, 2-door glass merchandiser.

Consequently, coil cleaning produces 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.)

Another the CFESA presentation was given about how preventative maintenance can 
pay off. Then he gave savings data of $260 and $440 for coil cleaning a single door
freezer and double door refrigerator.

Also it so happens that the % energy savings is the same. That’s with 47% and 50%,
as for the data described.[⌊Energy savings from refrigeratorfreezer coil cleaning coilpod⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/maxresdefault.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)

Additionally, an excellent description of the major repair costs persons a person
faces. ONLY when not cleaning the coils.

They developed the unique COILPOD coil cleaning dust hood. This dust hood allows
this cleaning to be done on commercial-type units. All as a result in a “green”/
no-mess manner. That’s done consequently with compressed air and a vacuum: Simple!!

This is a PRSM best practices technology. As well, it featured as the “App of the
Month” in Foodservice Equipment Reports. (see [http://bit.ly/1wg1ERl](https://www.fermag.com/articles/5884-products-march-2015)).

Finally, Here’s a link to the COILPOD coil cleaning demo video. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPKQFq4vqzA](https://web.archive.org/web/20160912115936/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPKQFq4vqzA).

In conclusion, the website for COILPOD ([www.coilpod.com](https://www.coilpod.com/)).
In addition, an online store for retail purchase of bag(s), e.g. for a pilot testing
program.
