A Hidden Energy Hog: Why Cleaning Your Home’s AC Coils Can Lower Your Electric Bill

When your energy bill suddenly spikes, your first thought probably isn’t your air conditioner’s coils. But those unseen components could be quietly draining your wallet.

Over time, dust, dirt, and debris build up on your AC coils forcing your unit to work harder, cool slower, and use more electricity. The result? Higher energy costs and reduced cooling performance.

The good news? With the right maintenance and the right cleaner, you can restore efficiency in minutes. That’s where Armchem’s Nu-Coil Coil Cleaner comes in.

 

 

 

What Are AC Coils and Why Do They Matter?

 

Your air conditioning system relies on two types of coils to keep your home comfortable:

1. Evaporator Coils — located inside, they absorb heat from your indoor air.
2. Condenser Coils — located outside, they release that heat into the air.

When these coils are coated with grime, they act as an insulator, trapping heat instead of transferring it. That means your system has to run longer and harder to achieve the same cooling level, driving up your electric bill.

 

 

How Dirty Coils Drain Energy

 

Just a thin layer of dirt can cause your system to lose up to 20% of its efficiency.

When heat can’t move freely, your AC works overtime, burning more energy and increasing wear on the compressor and fan motor.

By cleaning your coils regularly with Nu-Cool, you:

• Improve airflow and cooling performance
• Reduce system strain and energy usage
• Extend your AC’s lifespan
• Keep indoor air cleaner and fresher

Fun Fact: Cleaning your coils can save an average of 10–30% on annual cooling costs.
