Reminder to clean your chillers!

[Jgoal55]

I had kind of forgotten that chillers work just like AC's in that they have an intake and an outtake.

Well, I noticed that my temps were slowly rising and I couldn't figure out why. So I went to check the chiller and I open the plastic grid on the front to find a 1/2" thick layer of dust that has been collecting there for probably two years. I'm amazed the thing still works!

So, if you haven't done so in a while, I would highly recommend taking a vacuum to your chiller intakes.

same thing goes for the a/c unit on the house and the fridge, you would be surprised how much energy u save

yeah, I change my filters every 6 weeks. I use those special allergen 3m filters. They cost more but I have definitely seen a savings on the power bill. Also helps with the allergies.
