What is Airduct Cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is an important cleaning service for homes and businesses that means having your duct system, including the supply, intake, and return vents cleaned by professionals. It may also mean cleaning the registers, grills, fans, HVAC unit, and the furnace – if you have one.

Sick Building Syndrome

If your air ducts are poorly maintained, this can contribute to sick building syndrome (SBS) in the office where people experience health issues caused by the building. This is due to the bacteria and mould buildup, poor ventilation, and volatile organic compounds (chemicals that can contaminate indoor air). The symptoms of SBS include:

  • Headaches
  • Tiredness
  • Lack of concentration
  • Wheezing
  • Eye irritation
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Rash

Signs Your Ducting Requires Cleaning

Vents and Ducts are Clogged with Dust and Debris

A clear sign that your ducts need cleaning is the presence of dust as the HVAC starts running. Usually, when your system starts running, there is no visible dust or debris, so if you start to see this, it’s time to call a professional ductwork cleaner.

Your Air Filters are Clogged

If you frequently have to change the filters in your heating and cooling systems, this could indicate a bigger problem. Although your filters should be changed every so often, if you’re doing this every few days, you may need your ducts cleaned.

Unpleasant Odour

If you can smell something unpleasant in your home and you don’t know the source, it could be coming from your duct system. You can check this by getting up close to the air duct system and getting a good sniffy to see if the smell is stronger there.

Mould and Mildew Presence

If you notice mould and mildew around your HVAC system, this could be a sign your ducts need cleaning. Mould can have serious effects on your health. It can exacerbate allergies and respiratory conditions. It’s therefore important to get your ductwork cleaned ASAP.

Insects or Vermin

Pest infestations are another sign that your ductwork needs cleaning. You should arrange a cleaning as soon as possible to prevent the spread of disease-causing microbes and allergens. This can cause serious health problems for those living in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is recommended that your HVAC systems and ducts are cleaned frequently, as dust, grease, and debris can build up quickly. Depending on how often your ducts are used or where they are in your home, for example, in a commercial kitchen, can affect how often they need cleaning. For example, commercial kitchens may need cleaning every 3 to 12 months whilst office ventilation systems may need annual cleanings.

The time it takes to clean air ducts can vary depending on the size of your system, the type of ventilation system, and the condition of your ducts. For example, residential properties may take 2-4 hours whilst commercial spaces can take longer than a full day.

Although getting your ducts professionally cleaned is important, it’s also equally as important to maintain your ducts between cleans. You can do this by:

  • Changing your HVAC filter regularly
  • Dust and vacuum regularly
  • Consider installing an air purification system
  • Use kitchen vents
  • Control humidity in the environment
  • Let fresh air in

You don’t need to leave the house during duct cleaning; however, the process can be quite loud so may want to leave if you have small children or pets.

Fire dampers prevent fire and smoke from spreading through the ductwork, so it’s essential they undergo regular testing to comply with safety regulations.
