Should You Get Your Heating Ducts Cleaned

Ducts emit or deliver air through Heating Systems, Air Conditioning and Ventilations pipes.

The air that is transmitted from these components, circulate and venture around all the recess and corners of your house and office.

Yes you got it right! You invariably inhale this air and it is important to have these ducted systems cleaned as regularly as possible.

The effectiveness of your ducted heating system and its ability to provide you with the necessary comforts will depend on the performance of duct cleaning on regular basis. Duct Cleaning ensures that your heating system is working efficiently, effectively increasing its lifespan.

The ducts are engineered in such a way that duct cleaning becomes inevitable no matter how difficult it is to reach there.

Made of metal sheet the ducts are usually installed below the floor or in the above the ceiling in the roof space.

There is a return duct that collets the air from the middlemost portion of your house and brings air right into the furnace.

The trunk on the return air duct has a big rectangular shape and is placed in the ceiling or the floor space which enables air to enter the bottom of the furnace. The air is then transmitted from the top of the furnace after entering from the trunk at the bottom.

The majority of the dust usually gets collected in the trunk ducts in the basement or ceiling which needs to be cleaned frequently.

Due to the often hard to access areas of your ducted heating system this regular used item is often neglected which in turn leads to ineffective Ducted heating over a period of time. As we are company based in Melbourne and the winter hits Melbourne, earlier than the rest of Australia, so Melbournians already has started using heating. Following, duct cleaning melbourne is already started process.

List of Duct Cleaning Equipment

Here’s a short list of the equipments used for the Duct Cleaning Process.

Power Vaccum – Place the duct system under negative pressure and collects dirt and debris.

Air Compressor – Used to blast away the debris.

Agitation Device – Dislodge dirt/debris from inside all types of duct surfaces.


Extractor – Collects the dust and debris from the duct cleaning operation.

Filtered Collection Device/Negative Air Machine – Most specialized equipment for the duct cleaning process. Machines used are based on several factors including cost, durability, reliability, productivity, ease of use, and support from the manufacturer.

Some Pneumatic Devices – Research of the tools to be used is equally important as the tool itself. Selecting the wrong tools will damage the duct processing work and your reputation both. Investment in Pneumatic Devices requires knowledge of tools for any specific cleaning task.

Pneumatic Brushing System – Various brush types exist for a variety of different surface conditions. Selection of such tools is very vital, as a system working well in a round duct, may not help to clean a square or rectangular duct.

Pneumatic Snakes and Whips – It’s the standard practice with specific types of ducts.

Air Sweeping Tools – Any air sweeping tool or combination of tools is just one part of the entire system. These devices/tools help to sweep debris from one area of a duct system to another.

Chemical Application Devices – Many of the processes after duct cleaning require the application of biocide solutions to the surface.  We choose bactigas to sanitize and deodorize your ducted air conditioning systems.
