Air ducts are the passages where heat, ventilation and air conditioning pass through. It improves the air quality of a room or house and provide thermal comfort. The inside of an air duct is full of pipes that lead to different parts of a home or building. Dirty air ducts can cause sinus problems, allergies, asthma and other respiratory infections. That is why clean air ducts is a must and a most welcome improvement in one's home. However, cleaning air ducts is not an easy task. Most people leave it to the experts to make sure that all the dust and dirt from the vents are removed. Professionals use high quality equipment to get to areas that are impossible to reach.
If you need some expert Duct Cleaning Sioux Falls, you can contact Crew 3R for consultation and cleanup. But, if you have the time, patience and skill to do the job yourself, you might want to follow these steps. Before you start with anything, you would need to check the design of your air duct system first. You might want to know where the different parts are located and how you can safely get into those areas without damaging the pipes. First, you would want to cover the air registers with paper towels to prevent the dust from going to different rooms while you work. Remove the register and wrap it with a paper towel or two and put it back.
Next, keep the fun running but turn off the heating and cooling
mode. The fan would move the dust that you loosen when you brush. Make
sure that your filter is in place so that the dust would not get
pulled into the motor of the moving fan. Now, start removing the dust
in the duct work. Knock loose accessible dust build-up with the use of
your brush handle or any long stick you can use to get to parts you
can't reach with your hands. Then, clean the registers. Use your
vacuum to suck up the dust and dirt that your vacuum hose can reach.
Brush loses any dust build-up and removes the paper towels as you work
on the registers one by one. Brush and sweep the return air registers
as well. Unfasten them carefully from the wall and try to reach as far
back into the piping as possible. After that, turn off the fan and
clean out the blower compartment. Vacuum the dust build-up that is in
the compartment and then return the air boot.
Lastly, clean the furnace and replace the filter. You need to replace your filter with new ones from time to time. When the filter is full of dust, it restricts the air from flowing to the fan, thus making the motor hotter and giving it a shorter lifespan. These steps can only clean up to seventy to eighty percent of your air duct system depending on how thorough and far back you can clean the piping. It could not ensure you that all the dusts inside the piping would be removed. However, regular cleaning can help make your air duct system last longer and save you money.
