HVAC duct cleaning is a process aimed at removing accumulated contaminants, debris, and pollutants from the ductwork and components of HVAC systems. Regular duct cleaning contributes to improved indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and the overall performance of the HVAC system.
- Conduct a thorough inspection of the HVAC system, including ductwork, registers, grilles, coils, and other components, to assess the extent of contamination. Identification of Contaminants:
- Identify and classify contaminants present in the ductwork, such as dust, mould, pollen, and microbial growth. Access Points:
- Determine access points for cleaning equipment. This may include removing access panels, cutting access holes, or using existing openings to reach different parts of the ductwork. Cleaning Equipment:
- Utilise specialised duct cleaning equipment, such as vacuum systems, brushes, and air whips, designed to dislodge and remove contaminants from the interior surfaces of the ducts. Source Removal:
- Employ source removal methods to physically remove contaminants rather than relying solely on air purification. This may involve agitating and dislodging debris from duct surfaces. Negative Air Pressure:
- Implement negative air pressure systems to ensure that dislodged contaminants are captured and extracted by the cleaning equipment, preventing their release into the indoor environment.
