HVAC System Maintenance Improves Air Quality

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 23, 2008 -
HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) systems are comfort commodity in all buildings. According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers, an HVAC system’s main goal is to insure that a building’s occupants can work, visit, or lounge in a comfortable, odor free environment.  HVAC systems, like many other mechanical items, may require cleaning being in operation for a period of time. Cleaning the ducts of an HVAC system improves air quality and helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to power the system—thereby keeping overall operating costs down.  

However, HVAC cleaning specialist Stephen Elliot of Enviro-Clean, says that there are certain factors a person must consider when deciding whether to have their HVAC system serviced. “Anytime you get your system cleaned, you want to make sure you hire a provider that will follow guidelines issued by the North America Insulation Manufacturer’s Association (NAIMA).”

If consumers opt to service their HVAC system, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends compiling a post-cleaning checklist for the HVAC cleaning specialist. The following are some questions to ask the provider:
1) Are all duct and plenum surfaces completely free of debris?
2) Is the blower compartment free of dust?
3) Have the cooling fins or coils been damaged?
4) Is the new HVAC filter properly installed?
