Duct Cleaning

Duct Cleaning:

Duct cleaning involves cleaning grilles, diffusers, cooling coils, heat exchangers, and registers. During duct cleaning, steps need to be taken to ensure that the dust and dirt collected is not reintroduced into the cooling and heating system and is not allowed to circulate outside the system. HEPA filtration used with the cleaning tools can help ensure that dirt becomes trapped during duct cleaning and can be disposed of later.

Duct cleaning has provoked its fair share of controversy. Many note that duct cleaning is only effective when done carefully by qualified professionals. If any components of a forced air system are not cleaned during duct cleaning, those components will very quickly reintroduce dirt back into the rest of the cooling and heating system. Duct cleaning must be very thorough as well as very regular in order to be effective. Duct cleaning is an inexpensive way to get home air a little cleaner. However, it should be used with an overall commitment to improving air quality in order to be really effective.
