The Importance of Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial duct cleaning will help your business to save on energy and money. It will improve the quality of indoor air by removing dust, debris, and dirt from the HVAC system. More importantly, it will reduce the risk of fire and help comply with health & safety regulations.
Ensuring the ductwork of a commercial building is clean is the first step in the removal of airborne allergens and contaminants from the air you breathe. Our commercial duct cleaning service cleans from the point of air entry into the system to the point of air exit.
Another aspect of having the ducts commercially cleaned is that the process helps to improve airflow. This allows the establishment’s HVAC system to be more efficient and also helps in reducing fire risk within the system, particularly so in manufacturing facilities where there’s a regular buildup of combustible dust.
Employer Responsibilities
As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that your business complies with Regulations and associated Approved Code of Practice from the Health and Safety Commission. Where it is stated that all mechanical ventilation systems should be regularly cleaned, tested and maintained, to reduce risk of contaminating the air.
Health & Safety
While there are numerous benefits to employee health, there are some legal aspects that must be adhered to when it comes to regular cleaning of ductwork.
Under the Health & Safety at Work Act etc 1974 and the Occupiers Liability Act 1984, there is a legal duty for an employer to provide a safe and healthy environment, which includes a healthy indoor atmosphere. There is a requirement to ensure that ductwork is regularly cleaned as appropriate and is subject to ‘a suitable’ system of maintenance.

No matter how small the build-up of dirt and dust in an HVAC system, it can greatly reduce its efficiency. Regular cleaning will help to maintain working efficiency thereby reducing the amount of energy it uses.
Extended Equipment Life
When dust, dirt, allergens, and various other particles build up in an HVAC system, the system can become clogged. Regular duct cleaning will help to ensure the system is working effectively and lasts for years.

Indoor air can be as much as 70 times more polluted than the air outside. People inside a commercial building could be inhaling smoke, fungi, pollen, dirt, dust, and other contaminants every day. Duct cleaning will remove the vast majority of these particles, providing cleaner air.

No matter what your commercial property produces, clean air helps to improve the productivity of staff.
