Every time that you turn on your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system or central heating unit you introduce pollutants into the environment. This is because these systems draw air from inside the building as part of the distribution process. Circulating air in this manner can collect various particles from the home or business that build up on the walls of the ventilation system or inside the comfort appliance itself. To make matters worse, these pollutants can cause health concerns and allow dirt to collect on the evaporator coil. The latter can result in lost airflow or freezing of the AC coil. A Duct Cleaning Service in Troy can eliminate these concerns by thoroughly cleaning the air ducts.
You might be surprised at the gunk that can collect on the insides of the air ducts. For instance, the fumes from cooking often contain oils and by-products from various spices. This can leave your home smelling like yesterday’s food or worse, like all of last week’s meals. Duct Cleaning Service in Troy can help by removing these contaminates and cleaning the ducts on a regular basis will keep your home smelling great. There are two basic methods for cleaning the air ducts. The first uses a large vacuum system to draw out dirt and debris and the other uses brushes to knock the gunk off of the walls. In many instances, you may need both to properly remove the dirt and grime from your air ducts. This is especially true if the ducts are very old and have never been cleaned.
It is a good idea to check your air ducts and see what they are made of. This could determine the type of cleaning that the contractor can employ. For example, soft fiber based ducts could be damaged using the brush method. You should also check to see if the service cleans the inside of the air exchange as well. This is the portion of the HVAC that accumulates cool air or heat before distributing it throughout the building. Cleaning just the ducts is a temporary measure if the air exchange isn’t cleaned as well. To learn more about air duct cleaning contact the experts at Professional Fire Restoration Service.
