Consumer Information
Air Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts, registers, grills, diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensation drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.
Over time, and if not properly installed, maintained, and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen and other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for mold & mildew growth is increased and spores from the growth may be released into the home's living space. These contaminants may cause allergic reactions and other health issues in some individuals.
The methods of duct cleaning vary, although standards have been established by industry associations specializing in air duct cleaning. Typically, the EPA will recognize and endorse only certain techniques of air duct cleaning. There are also numerous ‘industry specific’ tools used to properly do the job.
You should expect a provider to be bonded and insured. Employees should be uniformed. A provider should be knowledgeable in explaining the process of cleaning and the expected results after a cleaning.
They should be able to provider answers to common questions such as:
- Are the products safe for pets, children, and the environment?
- What other effects might there be to a consumer and there household?
- What, if any, residues may be left behind?
