Spring is on the way and my pal and I are planning on cleaning the loft from top to bottom. It isn’t entirely a loft however more of a flat, or like they call it in the states an apartment. We live in a three story building, which is like most of the other buildings in our town, except for a few of them which are up to six or seven stories tall. A lot of the buildings are older here and require updating and service. Our building is about ten years seasoned now and my pal and I will be cleaning the ducts in our main unit soon. The process of cleaning them is not so easy, so my pal and I will explain it a bit more. Cleaning the air duct in a central Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system is a crucial task that helps to improve air quality, increase energy efficiency, and extend the life of the system. The following is a step-by-step guide on how to scrub the air duct: Turn off the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system: Before cleaning the air duct, it’s essential to turn off the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system to prevent any potential hazards… Locate the ducts: The air duct is usually located in the attic, basement, or crawl space. Locate the ducts and determine the best way to access them. Clean the vents and then the ducts: Use a vacuum or a soft brush to scrub the vents, grilles, and registers. Be sure to remove the vents from the ducts to scrub them thoroughly. Inspect the ducts: Check the ducts for any holes, cracks, or loose connections. Seal any holes or cracks to prevent any leaks. Good luck and hire a professional Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech if you aren’t 100% sure of doing it yourself.
