Has your yearly air conditioning inspection lead you to make the decision to have a Duct Cleaning Albany? Once you’ve selected the air duct cleaning service provider and scheduled your cleaning, you may be getting a little worried about what to expect from what seems like a massive undertaking in order to improve the air quality in your home.
Your service provider should walk you through the process before you get started. Typically, you will need to allot a three to five hour window for the provider to be in your home to preform the service. During that time a couple of things will happen.
The Duct Cleaning Albany will begin by giving your home a thorough inspection. They will be checking to see what issues there may be that will need to be taken care of during the Duct Cleaning. The service provider will also check to ensure that there are no asbestos in your home. Asbestos is a dangerous material and requires special procedures and precautions to ensure that there is not a health risk involved for the provider or for your family.
Your home furnishing and flooring will need to be protected during the cleaning. Usually, the duct cleaning professional will handle this, but you will want to double check before your appointment arrives so that you can take the necessary precautions if necessary.
The duct cleaning service provider will use one of two types of vacuuming equipment. They will either have a vacuum system that will vent the particles cleaned from your vents outside your home, or will use a special vacuum equipped with a high efficiency particle air (or HEPA) filter if their equipment will be vented within the interior of your home. Depending on whether your system is incorporating sheet metal, fiberglass duct metal, or flex duct, the actual cleaning methods will vary.
Always remember to double check with your duct cleaning provider about the use of any chemicals within your family’s air ventilation system. These should only be used with your permission and only in the case that the initial assessment of your home tested positive for mold within the ventilation
