Your
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning or HVAC
system is one of the most important equipment in your home as it
keeps you warm in winter and cool during the summer. To serve its
purpose when you need it most, you have to keep it clean and free of
contaminants at all times. Here are some important tips on cleaning
your HVAC ductwork.
Clean all your AC and
heater's vents with your vacuum cleaner. Carefully remove the screws
that hold the vent covers in place. All screws (two or four,
depending on the make) should be visible enough for you to completely
remove the cover. If you are removing a cover from the ceiling, stay
out of the way of falling dust.
Dust out your vents by
placing the vaccum's long, flexible hose attachment into each vent
and suck out any dust and debris. Make the cleaning as efficient as
you can by extending the hose's reach as far as you can. Make sure to
empty your vacuum bag of dirt every time it fills up as you go
through all the vents in your house.
Wash the vent cover with hot
water and an efficient kitchen cleaning detergent. Use a clean rag to
go over the entire surface of the cover to make sure that you clean
all of its nooks and crannies. After drying, carefully set each cover
back in place.
