Benefits of HVAC Cleaning

Why should you have your HVAC system cleaned? The short answer is simple: because they get dirty over time and they have the potential to contain large amounts of dust, particulates and contaminants.

 

Energy Savings

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system.

 

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is the number one concern that building managers and building inhabitants have when they decide to investigate HVAC system. Through normal occupation in a building, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals.

 

Overview of the Process

  • During cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative pressure (with a HEPA negative air machine) to prevent the spread of contaminants into the occupied spaces.
  • 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 occupied space when the system is returned to operation after cleaning.  This negative pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and removed from your facility.

 

Often HVAC system components collect significant amounts of debris and particulate during construction activities within a building. NADCA recommends that newly installed HVAC systems or HVAC systems undergoing renovation are protected and verified clean prior to operation.
