HVAC SYSTEM INSPECTION

Environmental& Property Management Services can assess your HVAC system as part of an Indoor Air Quality Audit.  Maintaining clean heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is an important part of sustaining acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ). When an HVAC system is a source of contaminants introduced into the occupied spaces, properly performed system cleaning services should take place to reduce or eliminate contaminate introduction. Contaminates in HVAC systems may take many forms.

Contaminates in HVAC systems may take many forms. Common contaminates include:

  • dust particles
  • active bacterial or fungal growth,
  • debris from rusted HVAC component,
  • man-made vitreous fibers,
  • mold spores,
  • and other items.

Our Experience has shown that very few (if any) HVAC systems are free of all particulate. In fact, particle deposition on component surfaces starts before the HVAC system is even installed. Airborne particles in factory settings and assembly areas are likely to settle on air-handling components and fiberglass insulation, as well as adhere to the surface of metal components.
