The Importance of Ventilation Ductwork Cleaning

Dirt, dust, and debris are no strangers to industrial Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Without any ductwork cleaning, they build up in those systems and interfere not only with the efficiency and workload of the HVAC system, but also impacts the indoor air quality. This can be both costly to the plant and associated HVAC system as well as the business and individual.

The ventilation system can be home to:

• Particulates – Mixture of solids drifting in the air, consisting of dust, dander (skin flakes), soot, pollen and smoke particles.
• Microbes – Bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores and mold.
• Gases/Odours – Indoor gases release from furniture, carpets, cleaning chemicals, insulation etc.

Poor air quality can cause a reduction in productivity and a rise in absenteeism resulting in a cost to the business in poor productivity and lost days at work.

Plus, if your HVAC systems aren’t operating efficiently, it can be harder to maintain the ideal air temperatures for your employees and your businesses. This can potentially lead to higher energy consumption and increased energy bills, as well as shortening the lifespan of your ventilation system.

It can be caused due to a build up of mould, dust, and other particles in the HVAC system, which then distribute them around the building, causing people to become unwell.

SBS has many symptoms:

• Headaches
