Here are the details of how professionals clean air ducts.
Before jumping into the cleaning and sanitizing process, certain protocols need to be followed first.
HVAC technicians will first carefully check the air ducts for dust, mold, and other contaminants. They may use a camera or mirror to look inside the ducts. Then, the experts determine the working condition of the ducts and the HVAC system to design the best cleaning solution.
You can count on professionals to get your house ready for air duct cleaning before they begin the process. All furniture or flooring near the vents will be covered in sheets to protect them from dust, debris, and damage. Also, they will turn off your HVAC system before they get to work.
The next step is to clean the ducts. Professionals may use a strong vacuum with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to remove the surface level dust and debris. Then, to eliminate the stubborn dirt and buildup, technicians may use specialized brushes to scrub the insides of the ducts for a neat finish.
Cleaning air ducts is important not only because it improves the air quality of your home, but also because it improves the efficiency of your HVAC system.
Air scrubbers are used to filter and clean the air during the duct cleaning process. They capture all particles, dust, and debris eliminated during cleaning. They may also improve the air quality by removing the contaminants. HEPA filters are commonly used in air scrubbers as they can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. Additionally, activated carbon filters may be used to remove odor from the air.
Air scrubbers are set up when the cleaning process starts. They are placed to ensure that air passes through these filters. It helps to remove airborne particles and contaminants that may settle into the cleaned air ducts if not captured quickly. Experts check and replace these filters, if needed, to maintain the effectiveness of the air scrubber during the cleaning process.
The ductwork sanitizing process thoroughly cleans and disinfects the air ducts. While this process may seem long and tiresome to you, it is a piece of cake for professionals. They will first inspect the ducts, protect your house from debris, and then begin cleaning them with professional equipment.
