Maintaining the air ducts in your home is an essential part of keeping your living environment healthy and efficient. The process of cleaning air ducts usually involves the use of specialized tools to remove dirt, dust, and other debris from inside the ducts. Then, a high-powered vacuum is used to safely remove the particles from the system, without releasing them into the air. It is important to note that cleaning the ducts without cleaning all the necessary components of the air conditioning system usually negates any potential benefit.
Duct cleaning companies often advertise health benefits or suggest that duct cleaning will reduce energy bills by improving system efficiency. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Even if the ducts are dirty, cleaning them is not likely to provide any measurable benefit. In fact, the few independent investigations conducted on duct cleaning indicate that the process removes so much dust that it creates a bigger problem than it solves. Our service technicians use a non-toxic cleaner when necessary to remove spores from inside the ducts.
After the cleaning is finished, it is necessary to re-inspect the air ducts to make sure that nothing has been missed and that the ducts are completely clean. Air duct cleaners are likely to have at least one inspection instrument: from a simple mirror to a periscope to the CCTV camera system, with flexible cables to reach parts of the air duct system that are difficult to access. There are a number of maintenance tasks and ongoing upgrades to your duct system that can improve its performance. If you suspect a mold problem, consider asking a service company to inspect the duct system for leaks. Also consider inspecting your duct system for leaks, as leaking ducts reduce efficiency and introduce air quality problems. After setting it up, the technician will start shaking the walls of the ducts to remove contaminants, such as dust, dirt, pollen, bacteria, and other disgusting substances that are stuck to the walls of the ducts.
If you want to make sure your ducts are properly cleaned, call only professional companies like Dustless Duct. Air duct cleaning involves cleaning the entire duct system, including the supply, inlet, and return grilles, with professional air duct cleaning equipment. Regardless of how well designed your duct system may be, without regular duct maintenance, you may not be able to get the most out of it. This is because much of the dirt in the air ducts adheres to its surfaces and does not necessarily enter your living space. After testing 33 homes in Montreal before and after cleaning their ducts, a study found that there was no significant improvement in air quality and that duct cleaning alone did not improve airflow or energy efficiency. Air duct cleaning companies like Dustless Duct have a variety of professional duct cleaning equipment designed to clean air ducts and turn them into a healthier living environment at home.
Professional duct maintenance, when done correctly by experienced technicians using specialized equipment and techniques, can help improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency while also reducing allergens and other contaminants in your home.
