Commercial Air Duct Cleaning Services

Why Get Professional Duct Cleaning For My Facility?

Duct cleaning is not something that should be left to DIY. Duct cleaning requires specialized tools and knowledge to make sure that everything is handled properly and not cause further ductwork issues down the road. Duct cleaning service prevents unnecessary damage to your ductwork and HVAC system as a whole, prevents health issues caused by contaminants either getting left within the system or from improper cleaning. The benefits of professional duct cleaning definitely make it a worthwhile investment for commercial facilities.

Cleaning Your Commercial Facility's Air Ducts Improves Indoor Air Quality

While there are obvious financial benefits to regularly cleaning and maintaining your air ducts, there are also significant health benefits. The health of your employees and customers is more important for your business’s future and sustainability. Regular cleaning of hospital air ducts can prevent health issues and breathing problems. In an office building, the quality of air is deficient if an air duct is dirty.

Over time air ducts can become contaminated with dust and debris. The accumulation of contaminants can constrict air flow forcing the Air Handler Unit (AHU) to work harder to move the same amount of air. This results in increased operating costs as well as increasing wear and tear on the equipment, resulting in increased maintenance to the unit or premature replacement. These contaminants can also harbor microbial growth in the form of mold, bacteria, dust mites as well as pet dander. Each of these contaminants can act as triggers for Type I and Type III allergic reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and headaches especially in susceptible individuals.

A Clean Air Duct System Can Save Your Facility Energy

The Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a clean HVAC system, including the AHU and duct system, can result in a 15% to 30% energy savings over a contaminated system. A properly maintained AHU and duct system also contributes to a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. The DOE also estimates that leaking ducts waste 40% of energy generated by an AHU.

Does My Business Need Commercial Duct Cleaning?

Most commercial business greatly benefit from duct cleaning. If you have a medium to large commercial facility, your production typically results in particulate matter being released in the air, you work in an industry with many people who are sensitive to air quality, or you just want the best possible environment for your employees and customers, then commercial facility duct cleaning could help you.
