Importance of Professional HVAC Cleaning

Posted by Melanie Randall on April 20th, 2021

Air quality has never seemed more important recently. With issues such as the covid-19 pandemic, and as businesses reopen fully for the first time since the start of the pandemic, extra care must be taken with HVAC systems to ensure that they are properly cleaned and ready for full time functioning again. HVAC systems, when left at a lower capacity or off for a long period of time, need to be handled properly in order to ensure that the air quality is not negatively affected by a buildup of dust and other contaminants, such as mold. So why should you always leave your HVAC cleaning to the professionals?

For Your Own Safety

Cleaning HVAC systems is an arduous task, and depending on whether it’s a home, or a commercial property, there could be numerous components that need to be checked out while cleaning to ensure that the system is working properly. Cleaning HVAC systems could also include cleaning out mold and other contaminants you may not be ready for, so hiring a professional will ensure you have someone that is properly trained, licensed, and certified for the task at hand. As well, a lot of air ducts are in hard-to-reach areas, requiring ladders and commercial vacuums to clean—equipment you may not have or that just isn’t safe for you to use untrained.

Time and Money Savings

Cleaning an HVAC system can take a lot of time if you aren’t trained professionally to do it. As well, DIY HVAC system cleaning could result in something being missed, such as not noticing a failing piece of equipment, or damaging something while replacing a component or filter. Save yourself some money in the future and hire a professional now.

Prevent Future Failures

Getting an HVAC cleaning from a professional is more than just the cleaning; it also includes an inspection of all the components of the system. Getting a professional inspection will alert you to any potential HVAC system failures or weaknesses that need to be repaired right away, preventing failures in the future.

The Right Equipment

HVAC cleaning professionals are trained and have the gear on hand to get through any HVAC cleaning job you have for them. Trying to do your HVAC cleaning DIY may, in the short run, save you some money, but you aren’t likely to be using the proper equipment to get a full cleaning, and your air quality is going to suffer for it. HVAC systems that have been sitting unused for a while may also have smells that need to be removed with chemicals you may not be familiar with.

Better Results

All of the above ultimately results in a better result from your HVAC cleaning. HVAC systems are the core to your building’s air quality; getting a professional cleaning will ensure the best air quality possible for your building, especially during and after a pandemic that requires extra filtration. Professionals, during inspections, can also make recommendations for changes to your HVAC system to improve performance, energy efficiency, and air quality.

If you are reopening your business after a lockdown, or if you need to improve the air quality on your own, always go with professional HVAC cleaning services to ensure the job is done right.
