THE BEST CARPET CLEANING & AIR DUCT CLEANING SERVICE IN MINNEAPOLIS & ST.PAUL

Ductwork sometimes can become both the source and the pathway for dirt, dust, and biological contaminants to spread through your home. In this case, duct cleaning usually means the removal of dirt, slime, mold, debris and other materials found in ductwork and other HVAC components (e.g., cooling coil, drain pan).

Supplier Schedules HVAC equipment suppliers and manufacturers sometimes provide instructions on when and how cleaning should be performed. Cleaning schedules typically depend on equipment operating schedules, climate, filtration used, air contaminants, costs and home occupant expectations.

New Ductwork When new systems are being installed or when older systems are being updated, suppliers should provide access for cleaning system components that are cleanable or replaceable when they become contaminated. New equipment should be kept sealed until installed. If not, new construction or updating of older equipment should always include duct cleaning. New ductwork often contains oil, tools, construction debris, and dirt sometimes even discarded lunch bags, drink cups, etc. These must be cleaned from the ductwork before connection to the air handling system.

Older Ductwork As time passes, ductwork can become contaminated with dust, dirt, debris, mold, slime, dead rodents, dead bugs as well as other contaminants. The presence of these materials does not necessarily mean IAQ problems or complaints will occur. Most ducts have small amounts of dry dust collected on their surfaces … a common occurrence that occasionally requires duct cleaning.

You definitely would want to provide cleaning (or possible duct replacement) if:

• there is permanent water damage
• there is slime growth
• there is debris that restricts airflow
• dust is actually seen emitting from air supply registers
• offensive odors originate in the ductwork or HVAC system

A duct cleaning professional says we need our ducts cleaned but how can we know this is true?

(Remember … duct cleaning is a competitive business. You have probably seen their advertisements … don’t be taken in by extreme claims.)

• Are there observable or known contaminants in the ductwork?
• Has testing or observation confirmed their type and quantity?
• Can or do they (or their odors or byproducts) leave the duct and enter the occupied space?
• Do you have a good idea of the source of these contaminants?
• Can the source be controlled?
• Will the proposed duct cleaning effectively remove the contaminants?
• Is duct cleaning the only (or the most cost-effective) solution?
• Have you identified a qualified and reputable duct cleaning firm?
• Have you checked the firm’s references?
• Does the firm offer a sensible, sound approach?
• Do they have the right kind of equipment?

Will the cleaning process protect your HVAC equipment and the occupants of the space during the cleaning?
