Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning refers to the cleaning of the different heating and cooling system components of forced air systems. If the ducts are not properly cleaned regularly, they may become the repositories of contaminated particles of dust, pollen and other kinds of debris. They may attract moisture which may result in microbiological growth such as molds that may release spores in the living rooms and cause allergic reactions and other harmful symptoms.

Air duct Cleaning Equipment
There are various types of air duct cleaning equipments. Some equipments involve a brush system which runs a brush from the supply register through the length of the ductwork to brush off the dirt, dust, soot and ash from the walls of the ducts.
Another equipment system is truck mounted which connects a suction hose around the supply register and "sucks" the debris through the hose into the truck.
Yet another equipment system sends a steel ball attached to a coil (sometimes called a spinner) through the ductwork to knock off or loosen the particles and remove the fallen debris from the floor of the duct by suction.
The equipment consists of blowers, air and vacuum hoses, air compressors, hand held blowers, air trigger nozzles, hole- cutters and power air nozzles and so on.
The brush using equipment uses a 35 foot, 3/8” steel core cable in a 3⁄4” double walled cable housing. The 3/8” cable also allows the use of the compressed air feature which provides a fitting for a 125 psi compressor.
The vacuum hose attached to the brush picks up the dust and debris that is agitated by the brush and sends it to the vacuum collector. The machine is fitted with 1⁄2 HP DC motor unit with 0-850 RPM controller and dual torque settings. There is a 15 ft remote control with a belt clip.
