Air vent and duct cleaning considerations
More and more people are becoming aware of indoor air pollution and it is a topc that requires attention. There is much debate about the benefits of air vent cleaning or duct cleaning. Maybe as some would say, it’s better to err on the safe side. If you want vent cleaning in Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach or Sunny Isles, then Air Quality Control can help.
There is no direct proof that vent cleaning will prevent health problems. However, dirty vents and ducts certainly won’t bring any benefits. Ducts also attract mold and if mold infests your duct system you have a problem. Air vent cleaning will remove any mold infestation. Vermin also love to live in ducts and air duct cleaning can get rid of such an infestation. It also seems to make sense that if your vents are clogged and your ducts are dirty that your overall AC system will be less efficient. The EPA recommends that vent and ducts be cleaned when needed and not necessarily on a routine basis.
However, if you or members of your family suddenly suffer from unexplained symptoms, it will be a good idea to have a closer look at your air vents and ducts.
Air vent cleaning technicians use special equipment such as blowers, vacuums and industrial brushes. Duct and vent cleaning should also extend to air handlers, grilles, registers, fans, diffusers, heat exchangers, drain pans, housing and other components of your HVAC system.
There are some things you can do to minimize air duct infestations and contamination. These include using quality filters and routine replacement of filters. You should also not use you AC if there is construction work around that generates excessive dust and debris. You should also keep your home clean and vacuum regularly.
