Why It Matters

PTAC units play a vital role in providing heating and cooling in hotels, healthcare facilities, dormitories, apartments, and other commercial environments. Over time, these units accumulate dust, debris, and mold, which can impact both performance and indoor air quality. A poorly maintained PTAC not only drives up energy costs but also shortens equipment lifespan and risks health concerns for occupants. Traditional cleaning methods can be inefficient, messy, and unsafe. The EDIC PTAC Cleaning Cradle with Vacuum Hose Clamp offers a professional-grade solution by securing the unit in place and ensuring contaminants are captured during service. This keeps operations efficient, facilities running smoothly, and environments healthier for occupants.
