While all companies are different, there’s a general way to go about marine air duct cleaning. This includes:

• Complete cleaning of your air handler unit
• Cleaning the interior of the air handler unit cabinet
• Clean blower assembly
• Clean cooling and heating coils
• Clean return and supply plenum
• Resurface the non-porous interior of the system with a rust-preventative coating and sealant
• Treat all non-porous surfaces with fungicides and bactericides
• Clean grilles and registers
• Clean return and supply ducts
• Clean the condensate pan

Duct cleaning has many benefits, such as:

• Improved Indoor Air Quality – Air that circulates through the ducts is what you breathe. However, there are various contaminants, such as pesticides, carbon monoxide, volatile chemicals, and more. They get pulled into your system and accumulate in the ductwork to come back into the living space.
• Boost Efficiency for the HVAC System – If there’s too much debris or dust, it impedes airflow. Therefore, your system is not efficient, which means cold/host spots in the home.
• Eliminates Noticeable Odors – Your home sees tons of odors, such as tobacco smoke, mildew, cleaning agents, and food. Those stale odors can get trapped and flow through the house over and over!
• Maintain a Cleaner Environment – After the HVAC system is off for a few hours (or season), dust particles accumulate. When you turn it on again, everything is recirculated into the house. Therefore, dust settles on the furniture, bedding, and everywhere else.
• Eliminates Irritants – Air ducts could hold harmful microorganisms. Recirculating airborne contaminants can lead to severe health problems. 
• Keeps the Home/Business Safe – Significantly dirty ducts can lead to a fire. The lint, dust, and dirt heat up and could ignite!

A preventative maintenance program ensures that your HVAC system runs smoothly for longer periods. Traditionally, the rule is that for each dollar spent on prevention, you can save $5 in expenses. NJ residents don’t often think of the duct system until the indoor air quality suffers. By then, you may already have mold and other problems.

Though you can DIY, it’s often better to have the air ducts cleaned by professional technicians. We use this generalized process:

• Inspect the ductwork.
• Create negative pressure by hooking up a large hose to the duct by the air handler. 
• Seal each register to ensure enough suction by the vacuum.
• Turn on the vacuum and suck out the dirt.
• Agitate the dust by cleaning each duct separately. Using a NADCA-certified technician is best because they spend more time for each register. We also utilize compressed air tools, rotating brushes, and more.
• Clean the full system, which includes the drain pan, evaporator coil, and blower motor.
• Replace everything we moved, and install a new air filter.

Here are a few ways to take care of your HVAC system and stay safe:

• Schedule preventative maintenance with our technicians as recommended.
• Change the air filters frequently.
• Visually inspect your system.
• Reduce clutter around the inside and outside unit.
• Keep your home’s temperature regulated.
• Change the thermostat batteries regularly.
• Maintain a carbon monoxide detector.

Duct cleaning improves the indoor air quality by lowering the amount of airborne pollutants that circulate throughout the home or business. Pollen, pet dander, and mold can easily be in your air ducts, and you don’t know about it. You may notice that you’re sneezing more often or having asthma attacks. Likewise, you might get sicker more frequently.

While using smart technology can help you improve your system’s lifespan, most homeowners and business owners don’t think about the duct network. When you get rid of all the dust and debris, your system works more efficiently.

The entire system is connected. When your air quality drops, efficiency does, as well. Most of the issues relate to dust and particles in the air. They get trapped in the ductwork, which adds strain to the system. If it continues to run like that, the system will fail before it should.
