Duct Cleaning

About Air Ducts in Heating and Cooling Systems

An air duct is a channel that runs through your home and is used in ducted air conditioners. You might also hear it referred to as a central heating duct. 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 air conditioning 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. Without the necessary care and attention though, you might encounter big problems with your duct system.

Importance of Professional Air Duct Cleaning Services

Regular professional duct cleaning is essential to keep your home's ducted aircon unit working at its best. Some important benefits of consistent cleaning include:

• You enhance indoor air quality
• You create 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

Expert cleaning of your air conditioning ducts is the best way to go about removing dust, mould spores and other contaminants and allergens that negatively affect system efficiency and air quality. Give us a call and discover how we can help you.

When to Book Duct Cleaning Services?

If you have a ducted AC system in your house, knowing how to identify the signs that suggest you need duct cleaning is crucial. If you are experiencing any of the following signs, it is time to give us a call. Keep your senses primed for:

• Unpleasant odours – The presence of mould and mildew in your ducts, as well as overheating components and even dead insects, animals and other pests, can produce bad smells that indicate it's time for a thorough clean.
• Allergies – If you experience abnormal levels of sneezing, sinus irritation, asthma, or breathing difficulty, these can suggest that your air ducts have heightened levels of dust, dust mites and dirt build-up.
• Noise – That significant build-up of dust or dirt inside your ducts can make it difficult for air to circulate throughout the house. This can result in noisy air movement.
• Stains – It's not just in your ducts but around your vents too. Strange marks or stains can point to poor installation, a unit malfunction or condensation due to lack of indoor ventilation.

If your ducted heating and cooling system is experiencing any of these problems, it is definitely time for a duct clean and maybe a filter change too. Contact Metropolitan today for same-day service with your duct cleaning requirements.

Duct Cleaning Methods

Ducted air conditioning systems require regular cleaning to keep them working at their best. In Australia, ducted cleaning services usually begin with a detailed inspection to determine the extent of dirt, debris, and potential microbial growth within the ductwork.

After the inspection of your ducted heating and cooling system, the licensed technician will use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum equipment to thoroughly clean the ductwork. They'll follow this up by using brushes and agitators to remove stubborn dirt. For deeply embedded grime, they may use non-toxic sanitising agents in compliance with Australian standards. For the best possible results, always choose a duct cleaning service that adheres to the AS/NZS 1668.2:2012 standards.

Duct Repairs

Ducted air conditioning systems rely on their ducts to not only be clean but also in tip-top shape, which means that duct repairs can be just as essential as duct cleaning.

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 is pivotal to enjoying optimal air flow, maximum energy efficiency, and the longevity of the cooling system itself.

Air Duct Cleaning Finance Options**

You might find that affordable duct cleaning services often seem hard to come by, particularly when you need them at an expensive or busy time of the year. However, booking an air duct clean is an essential process for anyone with air conditioner ducts in their home. In order to enjoy healthy indoor air quality and optimal airflow, a duct cleaning service is something that should happen consistently. However, the duct cleaning cost can sometimes sway people from booking an essential service.
