Frequently Asked Questions

How do you hook up air ducts?

Yes, we can connect every component of your ventilation system, from the hoods to the fans. We can ensure your duct system is state-of-the-art and code compliant.

Can I install central air myself?

You can, but we don't recommend it. Installing an HVAC system is highly sophisticated work that involves schematics that must be followed closely, and duct systems that must be correctly routed. We recommend calling the professionals to do the job, such as our ventilation system technicians at APS-Hoods.

How long does flex duct last?

Most metal ductwork can last for 50 years or more. The lifespan of flex ducting varies, depending on the brand and configuration.

Should ductwork be replaced after 20 years?

That would be the recommended route. Ducting tends to have a lifespan of around 20 to 25 years. To ensure proper air quality, you might want to think about complete duct replacement.

Why do commercial establishments use air ducts?

An air duct allows for the free flow of good air replacement. Your HVAC system uses ducts to deliver clean air and remove bad air to keep the air inside the building "conditioned" and pleasant for your staff and customers.

How often should air ducts be cleaned in restaurants?

Over time, your ducts can become a dusty, moldy mess. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends that you have your ventilation ducts cleaned every three to five years.

What is the best method for air duct cleaning?

Our air duct cleaners use a range of tools to clean every inch of your air ducts, including vacuum devices and elongated dusters. Our methods are designed to get to those hard to reach places where dirt and mold like to hide. We guarantee that your system will be thoroughly cleaned for maximum health and safety.

What does duct cleaning include?

Our commercial kitchen cleaning technicians also clean various heating and cooling system components that exist as part of your HVAC system. Our cleaning protocols include the supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, and condensation drain pans. Our technicians will also clean and repair fan motors, fan housing, and the outside of the HVAC system itself.

Is duct cleaning really necessary?

Yes. Over time, the air ducts that remove bad air and supply clean air can become contaminated. Dust can develop on the inner walls and, if moisture is added to the equation, mold and mildew can develop. If left to get worse, these contaminants can find themselves in the air your staff and customers breathe. Your staff and customers could get sick and the health inspector could give you negative marks. Avoid negative reviews and possible fines by scheduling consistent air duct cleaning.

Can I clean air ducts myself?

It is possible to clean the air ducts yourself. You will want to ensure you are very careful with the areas that aren't easily accessible. Our commercial cleaning technicians know how to access the inner workings of your air ducts to get them clean without causing damage. Also, unless you know how to repair the inner workings of your HVAC system, you may not know how to proceed if anything malfunctions. A cleaning crew well-versed in duct cleaning can keep your duct system clean and well-maintained for better value.

How do professionals clean air ducts?

Very carefully. We use specialized tools that get to those hard to reach nooks and crannies where dirt and mildew like to hide. We use specially formulated cleaning agents that are safe to use on commercial ducting and that work to remove harmful bacteria, fungus, and mold. And we look for any components of the ventilation system that are malfunctioning so they can be maintained or repaired on the spot.

How long does it take to get ducts cleaned?

Depending on the size of your restaurant, your commercial ductwork could take between two and four hours to complete.

What happens if you don't clean your air ducts?

If you don't clean your air ducts, dust can get kicked into the air your customers and staff breathe. Airborne illnesses could infect your customers, leading to visits from the health department. Mold and mildew could grow, making your staff sick. All of these scenarios can be avoided with regular duct cleaning by certified commercial kitchen cleaning professionals.

Duct cleaning keeps the air in your commercial establishment clean and healthy. Duct cleaning can also keep the quality of your food pure. Finally, health inspectors love clean ducting, making air duct cleaning a necessity for restaurant owners who want to remain code compliant.

How do you know if your air ducts need cleaning?

We recommend scheduling an air duct cleaning if your vent covers show signs of visible dust and you haven't switched out your air filter in months. Other signs include noises in the ductwork, signs of mold in or around your HVAC system, and airflow that is inconsistent from room to room.

Does negative pressure air duct cleaning work?

Negative pressure air duct cleaning is one of the most efficient ways of getting ductwork clean. The negative pressure kicks all the dust and dirt into the air, allowing for easy suction and disposal. Even with negative pressure, sometimes technicians have to use brushes and scrapers to get to those stubborn areas in hard to reach places.

Do you tip air duct cleaners?

You are not required to tip your air duct cleaners. Although, if you feel that your cleaners did an excellent job, a tip would be an excellent way to show your gratitude.

Professionals have the necessary equipment, powerful cleaning agents, and time-tested methods for getting commercial ductwork clean enough for health code compliance.

What is the best way to clean air ducts?

The best way to clean air ducts is with the proper tools and equipment. For large-scale commercial operations, we may use a combination of negative air pressure systems along with feather dusters, scrapers, and specialized enzyme-rich chemicals that remove grease, dust, dirt, bacteria, mold, and mildew. In addition to cleaning the air ducts, a thorough job also includes checking all the components of the HVAC system to ensure they are working properly.

Is duct cleaning worth it?

Absolutely! The health inspector can enforce hefty fines if you don't keep your air ducts clean. Plus, your air and food could become contaminated, leading to bad reviews and a place customers would prefer to avoid. Keep the health inspector at bay and your customers always coming back for more by keeping your air ducts clean.

Can air duct cleaning cause damage?

You can avoid damage to your ducting by relying on experienced professionals to handle the job. We have elongated poles, ladders, and other equipment that let us get to those hard to reach places for maximum cleaning and zero damage.

How do you clean commercial kitchen air duct vents?

The vents themselves can be removed for thorough cleaning. Wipe the air vents with a feather duster or paper towels and then clean with a commercial-grade degreasing agent. Make sure the air duct vents are completely dry before reinstalling to prevent mold and mildew. You should also ensure you are changing your air filters regularly to keep the air vents from gathering dust.

Does duct cleaning remove mold?

Yes! Mold is one of the dangers that can form when you leave your air ducts to get dirty over time. Air duct cleaning will keep mildew, mold, and harmful bacteria from forming in your ductwork, leading to a cleaner atmosphere and happier customers.

Will duct cleaning remove the smell?

If there is an odor coming from your ductwork due to the growth of mold or mildew or the formation of dust, cleaning your ductwork will purify the air and highlight the aroma of your meal offerings.
