Duct Cleaning Ensures Clean Air, Steady Airflow

A full cleaning should involve every aspect of your ventilation to generate maximum benefits. Your technician should clean the ductwork, the vent openings and grilles, and even your HVAC system’s air handler. Most of the air indoors circulates throughout the ductwork at one point, which means airborne debris and contaminants may eventually spread everywhere if ignored. In addition, it isn’t always easy to get to some of the air ducts, so professional-grade cleaning routinely makes use of specialized tools and equipment able to remove dirt, debris and other sources of contamination from the most difficult-to-reach segments of your ventilation. Let’s examine what you can expect from duct cleaning in Ellwood City.

• Conduct an in-depth inspection: Before we get to work, it’s beneficial to have a greater understanding of how much debris is inside your ventilation system. The process starts with a detailed inspection so we have a chance to recognize any problem areas, leaks or other specific issues. We’ll explore inside all the air ducts as well as the return and supply vents. If debris is too difficult to reach physically, cameras can be used to finish the inspection.
• Reduce the ductwork’s air pressure: While we depend on strong suction to draw out dust and pollutants lodged in the ventilation, it helps to make the environment of the ductwork more favorable to the cleaning process. We seal the vents and connect the vacuum to your air handler, generating negative air pressure and helping us to unlodge as much debris as possible.
• Scrub vents and registers to unlodge dirt and debris: Higher levels of humidity and microbes might make buildup harder to get rid of. Every vent is unsealed and agitated with tools like brushes and compressed air. This helps break down and remove old debris, making it easier for the vacuum.
• Clean any other ventilation accessories: A few areas of your HVAC system aren’t strictly related to the ventilation, but might still have an impact on airflow and your indoor air quality. We’ll clean or replace the air filter and clear out the outdoor unit’s condensate drainage system.
