Your technician will access your system of the duct interiors through existing openings if possible.  This consists of return grills, duct end caps and service openings.  Your technician will begin by breaking contaminants loose from your system via hand or vacuum to agitate dirt and dust.  Technicians use a variety of equipment and often may use chemicals to help sanitize, disinfect and deodorize your air ducts.  It is important to deal with an experienced and reputable company such as SERVPRO to be sure any chemicals used are EPA safe.

As a homeowner you should consider having a complete HVAC air duct cleaning if there is any substantial mold growth visible inside the ducts, if there are any rodents or insects in the system, or if the ducts are clogged with dust a debris that is getting released into your home through the registers.  According to the EPA, some research suggests that a cleaning may improve the efficiency of your HVAC system, which in turn may lead to longer cost savings in repairs down the road.
