Cleaning your HVAC System after a Fire

Following a fire, don't forget to have your HVAC system cleaned.

Your HVAC system needs to be cleaned after a fire damage event even if it was switched off during the fire. The movement of air will carry smoke into the air duct system, causing soot to the ducts. Smoke is corrosive and debris will be absorbed into the HVAC system as soon as smoke enters the ducts.

Left alone, the HVAC system can distribute throughout the house and affect air quality. That is why it is so important to call in a professional to clean, as they know how and what to do to completely get rid of even trace amounts of soot and smoke damage in the HVAC system.

Importance of Cleaning your HVAC System 

• Most of the allergy-aggravating contaminants will be removed from your system
• Your HVAC will operate more efficiently and effectively
  • Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
  • May help to eliminate offensive odors.
  • Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.
  • Recognition from guests a very clean environment.
  • Eliminates soot in the HVAC system from pumping through your home.

NADCA’s rule of thumb for consumers is that “if your air ducts look dirty, they probably are,” and that dirty HVAC systems should be inspected by a reputable, certified HVAC professional. Without question, they are very dirty following a fire.
