When it comes to vent cleaning, it's essential to make sure that the job is done correctly. After the cleaning is complete, the hole should be sealed and closed properly. If no hole was made in the duct network, then it's likely that the ducts are not clean. If a hole was cut but not sealed, then you'll be wasting energy and money every time you turn on your HVAC equipment.
To check if the cleaning was done properly, inspect the bottom of the ducts and make sure there is no dust or debris present. If there is, then it means that the cleaning wasn't done thoroughly. The best way to know if your air ducts need to be cleaned is to check for an irregular flow of air in different parts of your home, such as the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. The indoor air flow should be of the same quality since the ventilation grilles provide a constant flow of air. If this isn't the case, then you should request a visual inspection from a duct cleaning provider. Some companies have remote photography systems that can show customers what the inside of their ducts look like.
When viewing the photograph, all parts of the ducts should be clean. If there is dirt or debris present, then it means that the ducts are not clean enough. Mold or mildew is another sign that it's time to clean your air conditioner. It's common for condensation to accumulate in air conditioning systems and this can manifest as mold growth near the air duct grille. It can also cause mold to start growing in other parts of your home.
If you have a moldy air duct, then your air conditioning system will expel those spores all over your house. If you're having trouble keeping mold out of your home, then you should call an HVAC technician to help you clean your air ducts. Airborne mold spores can cause serious health problems, so if you think you may have mold in your air ducts, call someone right away. You could also be ingesting dust, mold, or other particles that are making your allergies worse. If you think you're experiencing an allergic reaction to something, then be sure to check your air ducts. Your climate system will introduce air into your home and that air will carry with it everything it collects in the air ducts. The easiest way to know if a thorough job was done is for personnel carrying out the cleaning to check the ducts and assess how much build-up was present before and after cleaning.
Be wary of companies that offer unusually low rates or promise very fast service. When cleaning coils, both sides of each section of the coil located upstream and downstream must be accessed for cleaning. This way you can ensure that all sides are cleaned properly. To guarantee that your vent cleaning service is done right, it's important to take certain steps. First, inspect the bottom of the ducts and make sure there is no dust or debris present. Second, check for an irregular flow of air in different parts of your home.
Third, view photographs taken by remote photography systems to ensure all parts of the ducts are clean. Fourth, look for signs of mold or mildew growth near the air duct grille. Fifth, call an HVAC technician if necessary. Finally, when cleaning coils, make sure both sides of each section are accessed for cleaning.
