There are two components to HVAC cleaning: breaking contaminants loose and collection of contaminants. To brake contaminants loose the technician will use brushes, air whips and compressed air nozzles. To collect the contaminants the technician will use a HEPA Vacuum system.
Each HVAC cleaning job is unique. A Technician will usually access duct interiors through existing openings like returns, floor and ceiling vents. In some cases the cleaning technician will need to cut a access hole in the duct work to properly clean the air ducts.
