Air duct cleaning is a vital part of maintaining indoor air quality, clearing out built-up dust, dirt, and debris so you can breathe easy. For those suffering from allergies, this routine task makes a world of difference, reducing common symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes. As Circleville, OH’s go-to HVAC contractor, All Star Heating & Air Conditioning Services helps area residents stay comfortable with a diverse array of services. Here, the team shares how air duct cleaning works and why you should always rely on professionals to get the job done right.

The first part of air duct cleaning is breaking up contaminants deep within the ducts, making them easier to remove. Your HVAC contractor will use special tools, including brushes and compressed air nozzles. They might even vacuum or use their hands to ensure the work is thorough. 

Since your contractor has to get deep within the ducts to loosen contaminants, negative pressure is placed within the system to prevent contaminants from spreading and make them simpler to identify. This ensures they don’t spread throughout your living space and improves your home’s air quality.

Finally, the HVAC contractor will clean the system using industry-grade antimicrobial chemicals such as sanitizers and disinfectants. This not only results in fresher ducts, but also prevents future contamination, reduces any odors, and improves the air quality even further, making it an important last step.

Since these chemicals could be potentially dangerous if applied incorrectly, it’s important well-trained professionals are the only ones who access and clean out your air ducts. Not only will they handle chemicals safely, but experts also know how to access the area properly and loosen and clear out contaminants without breathing them in.
