Because each system is unique in its size and complexity, every commercial air duct cleaning job will be different. Once one of our trained technicians gets onsite, they will be able to provide you with an estimate of the time required to do a full cleaning.
While you should have your HVAC system inspected annually, having your air ducts cleaned should be done every 3 to 5 years. This will ensure that your system is operating at maximum efficiency while also keeping indoor air quality high.
Alert everyone who uses your commercial space that you are doing an air duct cleaning. Clear out as best you can anything from around vents, air conditioners, and heaters. Plan to provide a walk-through to our team to ensure that all areas are planned for with the cleaning.
There are multiple reasons for an air duct cleaning at your commercial building. A clean system helps to reduce energy costs and it also extends the life of your HVAC equipment. A clean system also reduces the allergens being blown around the building, such as mold, dust, pollen, and more. It raises the air quality of your indoor air as well.
While hospitals try to keep their air ducts as clean as possible to help prevent the spread of illnesses, it isn't limited to just these facilities. Offices, retail spaces, warehouses, hotels, and many more all benefit from regular cleanings and maintenance.
The more clogged your air ducts get, the harder it is for the system to push through the air to all areas of the building. This forces your system to work harder and to remain running for longer just to heat or cool the space. Unclogged ducts allow this air movement to happen much easier. This will also extend the life of your system.
Because the moisture created from the effort of air conditioning can attract and trap dust and dirt in the system. Sometimes this moisture also becomes the home of mold spores that grow and give off more spores. All of this gets circulated throughout the building over and over and builds up until a cleaning happens.
The increase in dust, pollen, germs, and more, can affect the respiratory system of everyone in the building. Excessive sneezing and coughing, headaches, asthma attacks, and more can all result from dirty air ducts, and this can also impact the financial aspect of a building when the indoor air quality goes down.
Having your air ducts cleaned after a remodel is a smart idea. There is construction dust that has settled into the air ducts and this will be blown all over the building unless it is removed first.
Our team has been trained to take both before and after pictures of their work. Not only will this document the amount of contamination there is in the ducts, but it will also prove the difference that air duct cleaning can make.
