Tips For Cleaning Your Air Ducts
When spring rolls around, cleaning your air ducts is a must. But deciding whether not you should do it yourself or hire a professional is the big question at hand. Depending on the circumstances, you could benefit from calling in a pro. For example, if you have rodents or mold. If not, here is how you can clean your air ducts, even if you’re not an expert:
DIY
If you’re prepared to clean air ducts yourself, you will need the following tools:
- Vacuum. Vacuuming is a popular method that many use to brush away dust. For best results, use a large portable vacuum with a HEPA filter.
- Mechanical brush. This tool can suck up all the debris stuck in your ductwork.
- Air sweep. The air sweep method is perhaps the most effective for getting the job done.
Professional Services
With pollution becoming a growing concern for our environment and our homes, it might be a more effective solution to hire a professional. Duct cleaning is essentially an inspection and cleaning of various components of your forced air heating and cooling system. It includes the following:
