Air ducts are responsible for pushing air into each of your rooms. Over time, dust particles, dirt and even harmful microorganisms start to build up on their surfaces. When your AC is running it pushes this dirt and dust around, blowing it back into your rooms. If you can see dust or mould then that is a key indicator that your ducts need cleaning! However, the ducts in your home are mostly behind walls and it is unlikely that you will be able to directly tell if a clean is required. If your ducts have not been cleaned for over a year then you can safely assume that dust and dirt will be starting to settle. If you are noticing an increase in the suffering of allergies from family members this may also indicate that your ducts need cleaning. If you are moving into a new apartment or villa one of the first things you should do is to schedule a full AC service and duct clean. You don’t want any residual dirt from the previous owners to be locked in your AC system but scheduling an immediate clean also means you start with perfectly clean ducts and this helps you to keep track of your timings for future servicing and cleaning.

Attempting duct cleaning without professional equipment will yield limited results. To be completely clean, your ducts require brushes & hoses inserted up to 15 metres deep to eradicate dirt, dust and sand. Additionally, antifungal disinfection using a fogging machine is required to kill bacteria. Duct cleaning should therefore be undertaken strictly by a trained technician.

For professional duct cleaning We Will Fix It uses Rotobrush equipment operated by specially trained technicians. This method loosens up more dirt and debris than many alternatives due to its accelerated spin cycle. In addition, it enables packed dirt and mould removal using a high-powered industrial vacuum at source, preventing contamination. Antibacterial fogging is one of the final steps in our duct cleaning process to kill any remaining bacteria within the ducts.

Yes, regular duct cleaning enables the ‘lungs of your home’ to circulate clean & safe air for your family to breathe. This is essential to promote good respiratory health and can help to reduce aggravation from allergies.

Your AC ducts should be professionally cleaned every 1 to 2 years dependent on usage. If doors are regularly left open, sand and other airborne particles will find their way into the AC system, requiring duct cleaning more frequently. That said, be cautious of providers offering duct cleaning bundled with your AC service. Duct cleaning is not required as frequently as AC servicing (which should be conducted every 4 months) so you may end up being overcharged if the two are combined as a standard package.

Professional duct cleaning should take approximately 1.5 hrs per AC unit, depending on the length of the duct. We Will Fix It uses Rotobrush equipment with powerful suction, meaning less mess and less disruption for your family. Additionally, cleaning of the area and any paint retouches are provided free of charge by We Will Fix It.

A reputable duct cleaning company should cover all your furniture with plastic sheeting before they begin the cleaning process. They should be wearing PPE including protective goggles, gloves, and shoe coverings while carrying out their work and should be happy to provide before & after pictures once the work has been completed.
