Ice Machines
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it is crucial for facilities to regularly clean, disinfect, and maintain ice machines in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. At AMC Services, we specialize in commercial ice machine cleaning to ensure that these units produce clean and sanitary ice while operating efficiently and safely.

Domestic Tanks
Regular flushing, cleaning, and disinfection of domestic hot and cold water tanks are essential to ensure the distribution of clean and sanitary water throughout a facility. Neglecting these maintenance tasks increases the risk of bacterial contamination, including Legionella, which can lead to Legionnaires' Disease outbreaks often associated with domestic water storage tanks.
AMC Services specializes in domestic tank cleaning to guarantee that facilities maintain a supply of clean and sanitary water, effectively mitigating the growth of Legionella and other harmful bacteria.
It is recommended that domestic hot and cold water tanks undergo cleaning and disinfection at least annually, with more frequent maintenance advised under certain environmental conditions. For instance, the State of New York Department of Health mandates annual draining, cleaning, and disinfection of hot water storage tanks to uphold water quality standards.
The CDC emphasizes the critical role of properly operating and maintaining facility equipment, including domestic hot and cold water tanks, to safeguard public health and prevent waterborne illnesses.
By choosing AMC Services for domestic tank cleaning, facilities can ensure compliance with health regulations and minimize the risk of waterborne diseases, maintaining a safe and healthy environment for occupants.
Air Handler Units (AHU)
AMC Services is committed to following and adhering to best practices for cleaning and disinfecting air handler unit (AHU) coils. It is crucial to recognize that AHU coil cleaning is integral to maintaining the efficiency and hygiene of any facility's HVAC system. Ideally, AHU coil cleaning should be performed annually at a minimum.
Failing to incorporate a regular coil-cleaning program into a facility's maintenance regimen can lead to several detrimental outcomes. These include reduced airflow, decreased energy efficiency, increased energy costs, and the accumulation of contaminants such as mold, bacteria, dust, and debris. Improperly maintained coils have the potential to compromise indoor air quality, circulating unhealthy air laden with harmful bacteria.
Moreover, heating and cooling systems typically account for a substantial portion—60-70%—of a building's total energy consumption. AHUs that are not properly cleaned and disinfected can significantly contribute to higher operational expenses due to decreased efficiency.
By opting for AMC Services AHU coil cleaning, facilities can ensure optimal operating efficiency and promote the circulation of clean, healthy indoor air. Our thorough cleaning and disinfection procedures are designed to uphold air quality standards and support the efficient operation of HVAC systems, thereby enhancing both environmental comfort and cost-effectiveness.

When installing new domestic plumbing lines in a building, disinfection is a necessary step. It's crucial to disinfect every new plumbing system as well as any part of an existing system that has been altered or repaired. The goal of disinfecting a potable water system is to eradicate bacteria within the new plumbing infrastructure.
