10 Facts About HVAC Cleaningmmihvaccleaning.wordpress.com
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance is totally different from
air duct cleaning as the former is a professional approach to spring-cleaning the system.
For this, an expert service needs to be hired. Here in this article you will get to know about
some of the most amazing facts about HVAC Cleaning that you weren’t aware before.
Duct Cleaning and Health Issues
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regular air duct cleaning
is not required to prevent any health problems. On the contrary, HVAC users must seek a
professional service in case of need such as dirty, contaminated or verminous air ducts. If
you witness mould growth in your HVAC ducts or components then it’s the time to call for
an expert service.
HVAC Scrubbing Process
Professional HVAC spring-cleaning makes use of specialized apparatuses to vacuum out
the dirt, infested or contaminated particles. At times, the air canals are dissected and a
powerful vacuum system is used to clean off the accumulated filth. If this process is not
done professionally, then HVAC system might get damaged. For instance, if the HVAC is
not sealed or reinstalled properly after cleaning, it will exhaust pollutants to the external
surroundings.

How to Curtail the Risks of HVAC Washing?
If you wish to curtail the risks of HVAC dusting, then you must choose a qualified service
provider. For that, you must check that your contractor must be National Air Duct
Cleaning Association (NADCA) certified. As per the NADCA, the foremost HVAC Dusting
service providers should have at least single Air System Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) as part
of their team so that cleaning process is accomplished according to association’s
standards and guidelines. Certainly, authentication of NADCA certification does not
ensure that HVAC dusting process will be a flawless experience, but it will save from any
unprofessional approach.
Air Pipes Cleaning vs HVAC System Cleaning
A major confusion regarding air canal scrubbing is that it is part of the HVAC system
cleaning. In fact, air ducts are cleaned only when they are polluted and necessitates
cleaning of the entire system that interacts with the air circulating through canals. This
idea has been established by NADCA.
According to NADCA, air canal cleaning is a part of the general HVAC system vacuuming
which encompasses scrubbing and replacement of air sifters, spring-cleaning grids and
diffusers, examining channel pans and lines for drainage, inspecting heat exchanger and
chilling spirals, furnace air plenum, blower motor and others. Customers are provided a
comprehensive checklist that enlightens the endorsed procedure.
HVAC Parts Gutted in Cleaning Procedure
As per the NADCA, the following items are gutted during the cleaning procedure:
HVAC Ducts
Scrub-off main and branch supply ducts
Seal installation contact panes
Grids and Diffusers
Eliminate and evidently clean supply catalogues and return air grids.
Vacuum furnace source air plenary and return air plenary.
Furnace Components
Air Filter

10 Important Facts About HVAC Cleaning
While there is an argument about the benefits of air channel vacuuming, there are some
exciting facts to explore.
Air Network Cleaning may not thwart health issues
According to EPA researches, air channel cleaning may not thwart health issues such as
allergies, respiratory issues and other health problems. A detailed scrubbing of the HVAC
air station and components surely plays a key role in prevention and treatment strategies.
Air Waterway Cleaning Might Not Help Solve Problems
If you want to get the HVAC air duct scrubbed-off, you must carefully search and choose
the service provider. Hiring an unprofessional or non-certified company may potentially

Vacuuming Only Air Channel is Not Sufficient
Air Channels are a dirt collecting point where pollutants accumulate, but the particles do
not withdraw into the dispersed air. So, if only the air conduit is cleaned, it will not
guarantee enhanced air quality. Majority of the HVAC service providers suggest main
components of the system along with air pipes to be cleaned, which ensures efficient air
flow and reduced electricity bills.
Your Surrounding Comprise of More VOCs that external air

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) contain a substantial quantity of evaporable carbon-
based chemicals being produced and used on daily basis. Researches prove that the VOC
levels are much higher in the house than outdoors.
Eliminate Allergens
Researches show that more than 72 trillion allergen particles may enter your
environment. So, cleaning off the airducts regularly help eliminate these particle
accumulations within the system, and help avoid treatment plan.

consult EPA to choose products safe for airduct cleaning.
Air Ducts are not the actual source of pollution
The presence of pets, mould, pollutants and other toxins in the air seaway can be a
symptom to call for a professional HVAC cleaning service.
HVAC Housework and Health
HVAC users must know that senior citizens and children are more vulnerable to
pollutants, so regular cleaning can ensure their better health.
