DUCT & AC SYSTEM HYGIENE

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is essential in most settings to ensure a pleasant, comfortable and safe work environment. But it circulates the same air several times during the day through the AC Ducts, Fans, Coils etc. Our lifestyle adds pollutants to the indoor air like dust, mites, mold, bacteria, pollen, smoke, tobacco and pet hair. And they all let bacteria and mold grow and circulate in our indoor living environment.

These contaminants cause the cooling and heating system to work harder and thereby shorten the life of these systems. As a result 25%-40% of the energy used for heating or cooling is wasted. When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness. In addition we breathe cleaner air as the contanimants are removed from various parts of the AC system.

An Overview of the Process

• During cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative pressure (with a vacuum) to prevent the spread of contaminants.
• Continuous negative pressure allows very fine particles to be removed from the system as they become airborne, ensuring that these particles are not released into the living space when the system is turned on after cleaning.
• This negative pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and removed from your home.

Advantages of clean ducts apart from the obvious health benefits are:

• Increased employee productivity – healthier people make better workers and reduce absenteeism
• Reduced Housekeeping Costs – the HVAC system is not pumping dirty air into the indoor air
• Increased air flow – Air moves unobstructed by debris build up, blowers and fans do not need to cycle as long or as often.
• Energy Saving – as motors and drivers do not work as hard, less energy is consumed by the system
