HVAC Ducts

HVAC equipment has a component where cool air circulates through a system of supply and return ducts. Supply ducts and ventilation screens move the cold air from the evaporating unit to the environment

Duct MaintenanceWhen you are careful with the maintenance of HVAC ducts, you avoid health problems in the home or places when people work in enclosed areas. In general, the user can remove the filter and access to this area for cleaning

Detect ContaminationTo detect contamination in your HVAC ducts, you must know that in the regular maintenance check, you may find all kinds of dirt. From layers of dust, pet hair, mites to mold spores..

If you presume the presence of mold in the ducts, it must be

determined whether this dirt is, in effect, mold. In this case,

it is necessary to make contact with an expert or specialist,

as microbiology laboratories should determine it. Mold

proliferates, and their spores are spread through the air

each time you turn on the heating or air conditioning.

If you allow that these harmful agents accumulate in the air

ducts, each time the system is turned on, the same detritus

will be spread directly to all members of the household. The

WHO, in 1982, defines the Sick Building Syndrome as a set

of diseases caused or stimulated by air pollution in enclosed

spaces, that it produces, in at least a 20 percent of their

occupants

Sick Building Syndrome

To clean the air ducts, you must know that many

sections of your HVAC may not be visible in an

inspection. It is essential to have all the information

about the ducts, in case of vast spaces and more

complex structures. Keep duct maps, determine

where they are located; see the size of the duct lines

and the number of ventilation screens.

Cleaning Ducts

A proper cleaning should be done from the

components closest to the unit and go the farthest

part of it. In long distances, it is recommended to

open ventilation covers in order to gain access to the

air ducts. These covers must be hermetically closed

The ventilation screens must be removed for

washing and. Then, the must be re-fit..
