Deep cleaning of the air conditioner also involves the cleaning and disinfection of vents and ducts.
But how does air duct cleaning & disinfection work?
Routine air duct cleaning cuts down on costs and indoor air pollution.
We’re revealing the duct cleaning & process below with all the frequently asked questions.
What’s more important than the air you breathe?
Besides food, water and sleep, there’s really nothing else that can compete. But did you know there could be impurities spewing out of your Air conditioning vents and into your indoor air?
This decreases your indoor air quality, as it pushes in dust, mold and even deceased bug parts. You may notice you have to dust more often than usual. Or maybe a family member’s allergies flare up more frequently.
Before you decide to hire an air duct cleaning & disinfection expert, here are some things you need to know.
When to know that it’s time to clean the air ducts?
If you’ve recently had new ductwork installed, check with the supplier to determine the cleaning schedule. In most cases, the system components are cleanable and replaceable.
It’s ideal for the new ductwork to be sealed until the time it’s installed for sanitation purposes. If not, then they will need to be cleaned before installation.
For older ductwork, contaminants will build up over time. So it will have to be cleaned every so often.
The following are some of the common reasons to have your ductwork professionally cleaned:
- Permanent water damage to the ducts
- Slime growth
- Airflow restrictions caused by debris
- Dust can be seen coming from the registers
- Foul odors are coming from the Air Conditioner or its airflow ducts.
The air in your home should be pure. If your air ducts are pushing out dirt, dust, and bio-contaminants, then it’s time to have them cleaned. In doing so, the professional will eliminate mold, debris and other foreign objects commonly found inside the ductwork. Build-up can also be found within your HVAC components, such as cooling coils and drain pans.
In most cases, your air conditioning equipment manufacturer will give instructions for how often the duct work cleaning should be performed. There are many factors that play a part in identifying when it’s time to clean your duct work. Cleaning schedules can be based on climate, filtration, costs, airborne contaminants and the expectations of home occupants.
There are several steps involved in cleaning ductwork. Essentially, the process is all about contaminant removal. This is done using brushes, vibrations and extreme negative pressure. It’s important for negative pressure to be maintained throughout the cleaning operation. This will help prevent debris discharge into your home.
The duct system will need to be protected, so make sure unnecessary holes won’t be created in the duct or duct liner. All of the vacuums and collection equipment is normally outside.
But if it’s placed indoors, HEPA filtration should be used. Brushes are used with the vacuum to remove as much debris as possible. This includes water-damaged and bio-contaminated porous materials.
