Since each residence is different, several factors must be considered when determining the frequency of ventilation cleaning. Generally speaking, NADCA recommends a complete cleaning every 3-5 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Here are some examples that could reduce the time gap between each cleaning of the ventilation ducts: animals (especially furry animals), smoke, intensity of allergies\/asthma attacks, renovations carried out, new occupation \u2026<\/p>\n\n

In addition, certain tasks should be performed periodically to keep your equipment in good condition and reduce the impact of dirt in your establishment:<\/p>\n\n

  • Clean the filters every 6 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Remove the heat recuperator and let it soak in warm water with mild soap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rinse thoroughly and drain before reinstalling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    HVAC System<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
      \n
    • Replace filters according to manufacturer’s requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vacuum the return registers every 6 months to prevent dust accumulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      Dryer duct<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
        \n
      • Professional cleaning every 2-3 years (depending on use).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cleaning the filter after each use greatly reduces the accumulation of residues in the duct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
        Wall mounted heat pump<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
          \n
        • Clean the filter every 6 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Gently vacuum the coil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Run a damp cloth over the shell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
          Kitchen hood<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
            \n
          • Regularly clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the hood. Use products specially designed for this purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Depending on the condition, clean or change the kitchen hood grease filter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Like residences, businesses must carry out a complete cleaning of their establishment periodically.<\/h3>\n\n

            Some merchants will be subject to stricter obligations than others regarding ventilation cleaning, it all depends on your area and your practices !<\/p>\n\n

            Are you a restaurant, groomer or mechanic ?<\/h4>\n\n

            If your activites produce more residue, you will need to clean more frequently.<\/p>\n\n
