Central Ventilation (HVAC) Cleaning Improves Indoor Air
Ducts accumulate chemical dust, allergens, mold in addition to pet dander and heavy metals. When the ventilation system is running, these particles can be blown into the air in your home, leading to contamination of the indoor air. Cleaning ventilation helps reduce the amount of contaminants in the air you breathe.
Cleaning the ventilation system protects health
Also, people with allergies or asthma may be more sensitive to allergens in the air, such as dust, mold, and pet dander.
Proper cleaning of ventilation system components promotes energy efficiency
In addition, the accumulation of dust and dirt in the components of the ventilation system can affect its efficiency. When the filter is clogged as well as the coil, this creates some restriction, which can lead to overconsumption of energy. Professional cleaning of the HVAC system maximizes its efficiency and makes it easier to maintain the filter. Indeed, when the ventilation system and ducts are too dusty, the filters need to be cleaned or replaced more often. However, if you use high-performance HEPA filters, you know that they are expensive.
Important when cleaning ventilation ducts
Make sure that all areas where air circulates are thoroughly cleaned: the blower and fan, the filter, the coil, the ducts and the grilles. If a portion of the cleaning is skipped, it is enough to maintain the spread of contaminants into the air. Cleaning Experts always offers an all-inclusive service in the price to avoid disappointment. However, some companies give a price that does not include everything when making an appointment in order to offer it to the customer on site for an extra, sometimes a little excessive.
The air exchanger, if you have one adjacent to your central system, must also be cleaned, it goes without saying since the air circulates there. In the heat exchanger, the core or heat exchanger, the filters and its ducts will need to be cleaned. The fungicide should also be applied in the heat exchanger.
Diffusion of the natural fungicide
In addition, when the dust is well cleaned, we strongly recommend the application of a fungicide and antibacterial treatment. This last step of the process will clean the air in the entire system as well as all parts of the system against microscopic residues that may persist. For example, if there are mold spores, the fungicide will eliminate them.
An environment conducive to the proliferation of mould and bacteria
Damp or poorly ventilated ventilation ducts can promote mold growth. As air passes through these ducts, mold spores are spread around the home, which can lead to problems for the building and health problems. Regular cleaning of ventilation ducts can help prevent mold growth. In addition, the dust deposits in the ducts are then conducive to the development of microorganisms. Health Canada publishes detailed information on the health consequences of indoor pollution on its website. It is recommended that ventilation ducts be professionally cleaned every 3 to 5 years, or more frequently if you notice signs of dust, mold, or other contaminant buildup. A professional will be able to assess the condition of your ventilation ducts and perform a thorough cleaning if necessary.

Why not do the ventilation cleaning myself
It is recommended that you vacuum the mouth of your ventilation ducts and clean the grilles once a year. This is an operation that you do yourself and that helps to reduce the necessary frequency of cleanings. However, when you vacuum the air outlets and returns, you will find that you cannot go far.
Your cleaning alone will be insufficient in the long run, ventilation gets clogged
So the years go by and even if you clean what you can of your ventilation system by yourself, the filters get dirtier and dirtier quickly. Then your system needs a professional cleaning. VACUUMING YOUR DUCTS IS NOT GOING TO PREVENT DUST BUILD-UP IN THE DUCTS. IN ADDITION, THE COIL AND FAN MUST ALSO BE CLEANED.
