Duct Cleaning

About Air Ducts in Heating and Cooling Systems

An air duct, or a central heating duct, is a channel that runs through your home. They are used in ducted air conditioners. Duct cleaning is an important service, as air ducts connect your home's central heating system with vents throughout the house. These vents then provide cool or heated clean air to each room.

While some people refer to heating ducts and cooling ducts as the lungs of a home, they are more like a home's arteries. Much like in our bodies, if you have clean air ducts, they will perform at their best for a long time. However, without the necessary care and attention you might start to encounter big problems with your duct systems.

Importance of Professional Air Duct Cleaning Services

Regular professional air duct cleaning is essential to ensure your home's cooling unit continues to operate at its best. Some important benefits of regular duct cleaning include:

• Improve indoor air quality
• Creating a clean and healthy living environment
• Improved efficiency of your HVAC system
• Potential for reduced energy bills
• Reduction of irritants in your home's airflow
• Removal of unpleasant smells or odours from the air

With expert cleaning of your air conditioning ducts, you can say goodbye to poor indoor air quality, dirty air ducts, compromised air conditioning system efficiency and the presence of airborne dust mites and other allergens.

When to Book Duct Cleaning Services?

If you have a ducted AC system in your house, it is crucial to know the symptoms that suggest duct cleaning is necessary. If you are experiencing any of the following signs, it is time to contact a trained maintenance professional:

• Unpleasant odours – bad smells emerging from your ducts could indicate a build-up of mildew, mould, dead animals, mechanical fires, or gas leaks.
• Allergies – abnormal levels of sneezing, sinus irritation, asthma, or breathing difficulty could suggest heightened dust and dirt build-up in your air ducts and circulate in your home's airflow.
• Noise – significant dust or dirt build-up inside your ducted system can make it difficult for air to be correctly circulated throughout the house, resulting in noisy air movement.
• Stains – strange marks or stains around your vents may indicate poor installation, a unit malfunction or condensation due to lack of indoor ventilation, water build-up, animal fur, dirt, smoke, and more.

If your ducted heating and cooling system is experiencing any of these problems, it is definitely time to get your air filter and ducts cleaned.

Duct Cleaning Methods

Ducted air conditioning systems require regular cleaning to ensure optimal functioning and to maintain air quality. In Australia, the process for air conditioning systems usually begins with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of dirt, debris, and potential microbial growth.

After inspection, professionals use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum equipment to clean the ductwork meticulously. This is followed by the use of brushes and agitators to remove stubborn dirt. For deeply embedded grime, non-toxic sanitising agents approved by Australian standards may be used. Always choose a duct cleaning service that adheres to the AS/NZS 1668.2:2012 standards to ensure the best results.

Duct Repairs

Much like duct cleaning services, duct repairs are vital for the efficiency of air con systems. Over time, ductwork can deteriorate due to wear, rodent damage, or incorrect installation. Leaky or damaged ducts can lead to energy losses, reduced system performance, and uneven cooling or heating. Air filters may get clogged and require replacement.

In Australia, it's essential to select a professional with expertise in the AS/NZS 1668.2:2012 standards to ensure quality repairs. They will assess the ducts, identify issues, clean or replace your air filter, and employ the right techniques for sealing, reinforcing, or replacing affected sections. We can also conduct a carbon monoxide test to ensure your home and family are not at risk.

Proper duct repair ensures optimum air flow, energy efficiency, and the longevity of the cooling system itself.
