Are You Searching For A Calgary Furnace Cleaning Company?

Calgary Furnace Cleaning – The vast majority of homes in Alberta use natural gas for heating and forced air systems to deliver heat throughout the home. Forced air systems use a series of ductwork that goes through your home, this ductwork should be cleaned from time to time as it does build up with large amounts of dust and debris. The efficiency of a furnace system can be greatly affected by its cleanliness, the forced air blower that is located in your furnace gets very inefficient when it has dust buildup on its fins.

What is Furnace Cleaning

Calgary Furnace Cleaning - Quality You Can TrustFurnace Cleaning is when your furnace is physically cleaned, typically using high-pressure air, large truck-mounted vacuum systems, and brushes. Today’s furnaces are very technical appliances and if your furnace is less than 10 years old it is going to have a reheat coil inside of it, this reheat coil requires cleaning at least once per year. It looks very much like an air conditioning coil, the fins on this coil will get plugged with dust over time which makes it harder for your furnace fan to get air effectively through the coil. This means that your system is going to run less efficiently, have to work harder, and potentially break down faster.

If you have a home with air conditioning then you have two coils in your HVAC system, both of these coils require cleaning on a regular basis to keep them working efficiently. In the case of an air conditioning coil if it is left uncleaned not enough air will be able to pass through the coil to remove the cold that is building up and will cause the air conditioner to turn into a block of ice and stop working altogether until it melts. This is a common problem with furnace systems that are not properly maintained.

If you live in a home that has a high level of humidity you can get a mold buildup in the ductwork if it is not taken care of. Calgary furnace cleaning companies will offer to spray a product that is designed for HVAC systems and will kill mold.
