Lauderdale, Florida to determine the effect of cleaning the coils of the hotel\u2019s guestroom packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) units on cooling energy usage. The test was used to determine whether Fibercare PTAC cleaning service results in lower energy costs. The test was performed on four guest rooms and revealed that the hotel could actually save up to 67 percent on energy costs with cleaner air conditioning units.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/21-0106-fibercare-696x522.jpg\" alt=\"FIBERCARE\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/21-0106-fibercare-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/21-0106-fibercare-696x522-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the test, annual energy costs for the four rooms weighed in at $1,750. After cleaning, the cost went down to just $591, a savings of more than $1,185 for just four rooms. Why? Under-maintained PTAC units consume approximately twice as much energy to provide a comfortable environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen PTAC cleaning is done the right way, the benefits it delivers really are multifaceted,\u201d Mapleton says. \u201cUnits last longer, deliver cleaner and fresher air and save large amounts of money and energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to saving money and energy, PTAC cleaning also contributes to a healthier environment which, in times of COVID-19, and thereafter, will certainly be a benefit that consumers will seek and demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2020, we\u2019ve all experienced what it\u2019s like to wear a mask and what it feels like when we take it off \u2013 a breath of fresh air,\u201d Ashton Grudnowski, president, Fibercare says. \u201cPTAC cleaning is a similar concept. Once the dirt and dust are removed, the unit can breathe easy again and run at optimal performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grudnowski adds that now is the ideal time for hotel and retirement communities to plan a deep cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the time comes for people to move around more freely, they\u2019ll be ready for action,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019re focused on providing quality services that are good for the environment and also hit home for the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the complete study performed by RPM Energy Consulting here (PDF): <a href=\"https:\/\/fibercare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Fibercare-Cleaning-Service-Extended-Stay-America-Ft-Lauderdale-PTAC-energy-analysis.pdf\">https:\/\/fibercare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Fibercare-Cleaning-Service-Extended-Stay-America-Ft-Lauderdale-PTAC-energy-analysis.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Fibercare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1985, Fibercare is a privately-held business that hires and trains all of its employees.
