Clearwater Beach, FL — AC Bio Clean has published a detailed new case study showcasing the successful implementation of their probiotic AC coil cleaning SOP at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Suites.
The project began when AC Bio Clean Director Mark Lichty conducted an on-site coil assessment for the property. Lichty provided General Manager Ernesto Fernandez and Director of Engineering Tom Vincent with a comprehensive written report complete with photos documenting the heavy biofilm and organic buildup on the coils. This clear, data-backed assessment helped the leadership team understand the true condition of their HVAC systems and the potential for improvement.
Following the assessment, AC Bio Clean worked closely with the Hyatt team to develop a customized Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) tailored to their existing maintenance processes. To minimize additional workload, cleanings were strategically timed to coincide with routine filter changes. Mark Lichty and the AC Bio Clean team also provided hands-on training to the engineering staff, demonstrating the quick no-rinse probiotic application method.
The results have been impressive. The simple monthly SOP has delivered a documented 18% energy reduction per air handling unit while achieving 87% labor savings — with treatments completed in just 15 minutes or less per unit and zero downtime for guests. Additional benefits include faster cooling throughout the property, noticeably improved indoor air quality, and the elimination of musty odors.
Quote from Ernesto Fernandez, General Manager, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Suites:
“This SOP and product from AC Bio Clean has been a game changer for our team. We’re seeing strong energy savings, the application is quick and simple with no downtime, and it fits perfectly into our routine maintenance schedule without adding extra workload. The results on the coils are impressive and our guests are noticing better air quality.”
Key Outcomes:
-Documented 18% energy reduction
-87% reduction in labor time
-Improved airflow and faster temperature recovery
-Better indoor air quality and guest comfort
-Strong ROI with no increase in engineering team workload
The case study serves as a practical blueprint for other hospitality properties looking to move from reactive, deferred coil maintenance to a proactive, sustainable program. It includes before-and-after photos, detailed ROI projections, and the exact SOP steps used at the Hyatt property.
