June is here! As the heat rolls in, dust, debris and allergen build up circulates throughout your air ducts. Which can ultimately put a strain on your HVAC system. This can create:

*Weak air flow from your vents
*Rooms heating and cooling unevenly
*More dust settling around your home
*HVAC system running longer than it should

Extra strain can shorten the lifespan of your HVAC system. This is only one downside of dirty air ducts. The second downfall of a dirty HVAC system is the quality side of it.

Is that smell coming from my air ducts?

Odor Damaged Central Air System Restoration Process

Central air systems are responsible for circulating air throughout a living space to keep the inhabitants comfortable. At times these systems become damaged with odors that stick to the air ducts and its associated components. Situations such as fires or floods can cause serious odor issues. Other times smells from smoking indoors, pets, rodents, or other smells may be drawn through the return ducts, which over time, contaminate the entire central air system. Odor damaged air ducts can cause quite a problem, as smells are then distributed to the living areas causing discomfort to the inhabitants. Over the years we have ran into this scenario many times, and this is how we restore a complete central air systems to achieve odor neutral status.

In order to restore air ducts and associated components to an odor neutral condition first the entire duct system must have a thorough cleaning. A negative pressure cleaning and associated agitation of the ducts is performed. Once all visible dirt and debris has been removed from the ducts, an odor treatment or oxidizer is applied based on the causes of the smell problem. In the case of fire or flooding problems, the air ducts must be encapsulated in order to ensure no re-occurring smells by re coating or re lining the air duct interiors. Encapsulation should also be considered in cases where strong indoor smoking odors are present.

Next it is of upmost importance that the air handler or furnace be completely cleaned as well. This unit distributes the air through the air ducts and is crucial in solving odor issue. The air handler's blower wheel and casing as well as the evaporator coil and casing should be cleaned and decontaminated in order to assure a proper restoration of the central air system.

Although a time-consuming process, these restoration efforts can bring most central air system back to an odor neutral status. This can save considerable money over completely replacing the air ducts, and can often be performed with much less reconstruction than what is required to change air ducts out completely. It is best to consult with our team of professionals, on what would be the best course of action for restoring your central air system if odor damage is present. Air ducts and ventilation system component restoration plays a big role in solving odor issues, however in severe conditions it should be conducted as one part, of the complete odor removal project. Steps such as cleaning and painting of walls, carpet replacements, and treatment of porous surfaces, etc. should all be performed when completely eliminating odors from an indoor area.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), homeowners should have their air ducts cleaned every 2 to four years, but the timing is highly dependent on the region in which they live, how frequently they use their HVAC system, and whether they have family members with respiratory problems. In the latter case, you may want to invest in more frequent air duct cleaning.
