In order to preserve its efficiency, it is crucial to maintain your HVAC unit by requesting professional services. For companies who have undergone major renovations, have experienced a recent infestation, or the presence of mould in the ducts, air duct cleaning might just be the answer. 

A service that entails cleaning an HVAC unit’s passageways, this is an optional service many HVAC business owners choose to take advantage of. In this blog post, we will discuss duct cleaning and identify the service’s potential benefits. 

Let’s Talk About Air Duct Cleaning

Air duct cleaning

It’s important to know what ducts are to understand duct cleaning. Ducts are the passages in your HVAC system that provide warm or cool air circulation. HVAC systems would not serve their purpose without ducts. There are two main categories of ductwork: Rigid Ductwork and Flexible Ductwork. 

Now that you know what ducts are, air duct cleaning is the process of cleaning the unit’s supply, intake, and return vents using professional cleaning equipment. While some people may choose to clean their HVAC ducts independently, we do not advise it. If we clean the air ducts incorrectly, debris, allergens, and other contaminants may be spread throughout the home and cause many complications. 

The Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia (JKKP) recommends calling a professional to clean your HVAC air ducts if the ducts are:

  • Infested with rodents or insects
  • Clogged by excessive amounts of dust and debris
  • Growing mould

More research is still needed to determine the specific benefits of duct cleaning, which is very important to note. If you have an HVAC service making outlandish claims about the perks of duct cleaning, it can be a warning sign about their services. It is absolutely essential that you consult a certified HVAC professional regarding the status of your HVAC system before making any decisions.

Enviroverks (M) Sdn. Bhd. is one of the few companies in Malaysia with a NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification. This ensures that systems are cleaned professionally. We clean the entire air duct system following the American standard ACR 2021. We strictly adhere to NADCA and ACCA standards in carrying out procedural requirements. The procedures include assessing, decontamination, and restoring Air Ducts and Air Conditioning systems.
