Air duct cleaning redefines home health when it is deep cleaned. Eliminating dirt, dust and microbial growth from your ductwork can improve indoor air quality while maintaining a cleaner home and increasing HVAC efficiency.
How air vents are professionally deep cleaned
One of the best ways to ensure that the air in your home is clean is to clean your air vents. The air ducts in your house contain millions of particles of dust, hair, dirt, pollen, spider webs and other allergens. Cleaning your air vents will also save you money on heating and air conditioning. So read the tips listed below and learn about how you can clean the air vents in your house.
Here’s What To Do
- Turn off the power connected to the heating and air conditioning system.
- Unscrew the air duct covers or grilles from the walls. Use your brush to clean the grates thoroughly. If they’re very dusty and grimy, you may want to use soap and water to make them gleam.
- Vacuum the ducts as much as possible. Consider renting a heavy duty vacuum for this purpose. The standard household vacuum isn’t powerful enough to clean deep into the crevices of the ducts. Make sure that the vacuum you rent has a long hose to reach deep into the ducts. This is important, as there may be mold and mildew growing inside the air ducts. If you want the ducts to be cleaned more thoroughly, consider hiring a professional to do the job.
- Clean the grilles in your ceiling. If you can’t reach them with the vacuum or screwdriver, use a broom to attack the dust. Remember that if you haven’t cleaned them for a long time, you will want to protect yourself from all the dust and debris that will fall down by wearing a dust mask.
When Is The Best Time For Air Duct Deep Cleaning?
YOU JUST BOUGHT YOUR HOME
If you just purchased your home, it’s a good idea to make sure your new HVAC system is as clean as possible. You simply don’t know if the previous tenants kept a clean house, which means you may be exposing yourself to leftover dust, dander, and mold. Ideally, you should call in our air duct cleaning services prior to your move-in date. Our high-powered, rotary brush cleaning service implements a variety of techniques to ensure your ductwork is completely free of harmful particles.
YOU PLAN TO REPLACE YOUR FURNACE OR AIR CONDITIONER
If you’re planning to overhaul your heating or cooling unit, you should also schedule a duct cleaning service. Generally, newer equipment is more powerful than your older equipment, and often, more power equals more dust particles flying around. As the new unit forces air through your ducts at accelerated speeds, it can loosen old, caked-on dust and circulate it throughout your home. A deep cleaning solves this issue by removing any traces of dust from years past.
