Most people are now aware that indoor air
pollution is an issue of growing concern and increased visibility. Many
companies are marketing products and services intended to improve the quality of
your indoor air. You have probably seen an advertisement, received a coupon in
the mail, or been approached directly by a company offering to clean your air
ducts as a means of improving your home's indoor air quality. These services
typically -- but not always -- range in cost, depending on the heating and
cooling system, and depending on the services offered, the size of the system to be
cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination.
Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling
system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air
ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers heating and cooling
coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air
handling unit housing.
If not properly installed, maintained, and operated, these components may
become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moisture
is present, the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased
and spores from such growth may be released into the home's living space. Some
of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people
if they are exposed to them. If you decide to have your heating and cooling
system cleaned, it is important to make sure the service provider agrees to
clean all components of the system and is qualified to do so. Failure to
clean a component of a contaminated system can result in re-contamination of the
entire system, thus negating any potential benefits. Methods of duct cleaning
vary, although standards have been established by industry associations
concerned with air duct cleaning. Typically, a service provider will use
specialized tools to dislodge dirt and other debris in ducts, then vacuum them
out with a high-powered vacuum cleaner.
In addition, the service provider may propose applying chemical biocides,
designed to kill microbiological contaminants, to the inside of the duct work
and to other system components. Some service providers may also suggest applying
chemical treatments (sealants or other encapsulants) to encapsulate or cover the
inside surfaces of the air ducts and equipment housings because they believe it
will control mold growth or prevent the release of dirt particles or fibers from
ducts. These practices have yet to be fully researched and you should be fully
informed before deciding to permit the use of biocides or chemical treatments in
your air ducts. They should only be applied, if at all, after the system has
been properly cleaned of all visible dust or debris.
