Your air ducts serve a central purpose in your HVAC system and, as such, should be treated to regular cleanings as part of its maintenance and upkeep routine. This will not only ensure good indoor air quality but also a long life for your heating and cooling systems.

Professional Air Duct Cleaning To-Do List
A professional clean is a thorough dusting and removal of the contaminants that are in your air ducts. Your HVAC professionals will access the ducts in different ways depending on how your home is set up but all openings and closures will be well maintained by expert technicians.
Once they get into where they need to be, the focus lands on removing contamination like dirt and debris. Each section of duct that is being worked on is sealed off. Then technicians will loosen anything that is in the duct system and suck it up using a special, high-powered vacuum.
If you’re experiencing other problems like mold or mildew, your air ducts may also get a full sanitizing service performed on it. This would involve removing any water if it is pooled in your ducts and using cleaning chemicals to get rid of any mold spores.
