Find answers to commonly asked questions about Cleaning Air Conditioning Ducts or AC Duct Systems from the team at SafeAir.

How Do You Clean Air Conditioning Ducts?

SafeAir technicians use the latest in air tools to professionally clean and remove years of accumulated build-up and debris from deep within the buildings air conditioning duct system. During the clean technicians will access the ductwork system from various access points to ascertain which tools and equipment can be used to allow for a full deep-clean of the AC duct system.

Duct cleaning technology can include specialist whips, lances, brushes, ball systems and high pressure vacuums.

What Parts Of The Air Conditioning Duct System Do You Clean?

Remove years of potentially hazardous build-up from deep within the air conditioning duct system.

A SafeAir air conditioning duct clean (full deep-clean) service includes:

Inspection and removal of any build-up, hazards including torn insulation membrane, foreign objects, matter or materials from within the duct.
Full deep-clean of supply and return air outlets.
Deep-cleaning of duct plenum boxes and chambers.
Remove, clean, sanitise and refit air conditioning air registers and grilles.
Ceiling areas around outlets and air registers to 2 metres (where applicable).
Allowances are also made for the installation of access panels where necessary throughout the system for cleaning and inspection purposes.

Do You Remove Mould From Duct Systems?

Mould and microbial content can sometimes occur within air conditioning duct systems due to the varying air temperatures that create condensation and allow moisture content to form within the duct.

SafeAir offer health concious and environmentally friendly mould removal solutions to destroy new or existing mould blooms throughout the entire duct system and with minimal impact on your tenants or guests.

Doesn't My Existing AC Contractor Clean These Systems?

In most instances, no. Duct cleaning is a specialised cleaning service for ductwork systems.

Air conditioning installation, service and mechanicial technicians may recommend to you during routine maintenance service visits that the system requires cleaning, this is when you would engage a professional duct cleaning contractor to carry out a condition assessment report on the systems overall health and cleanliness.

But My Ducts Are Insulated? Can You Clean These?

Absolutely. Our technicians use safe and effective tools and equipment to ensure the integrity of the insulation membrane remains intact.

It is worth noting that many problems can occur from torn insulation membrane. Once the membrane is compromised, fibreglass and other matter can become airborne within the system, exiting outlets on to food, people, surfaces and floors.

Torn insulation membrane within ducts can also become lodged within heater batteries (fire risk), mix with moisture and condensation to allow mould to form or impact airflow within the system. It must be removed.
