In actuality, the entire HVAC system should be cleaned. Failure to clean all components of \u00a0the system can result in re-contamination of the entire system, thus minimizing the benefits\u00a0of cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Just as you wouldn\u2019t only clean half of your living room floor, you also would not want to clean only part of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Aladdin recommends cleaning the entire HVAC system, including the following components:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Airducts<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Drain pan<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Registers<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Grills<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Air plenum<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Blower motor and assembly<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Air Filter<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Air Cleaner<\/li>\n<li>Sanatization<\/li>\n<li>Deodorizer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 4\">\n<p>Make sure the contractor will clean all of the HVAC system components including, at a minimum: air ducts, \u00a0drain, registers, grills, air plenum, blower motor and assembly , air filter, and air cleaner.<\/p>\n<div title=\"Page 4\">\n<p><strong>Cost And Time Estimates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several factors that affect cost and time estimates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are several factors that affect cost and time estimates: type of ductwork, size of the system, system accessibility,the number of crew members, level of contamination, and even environmental factors. Properly cleaning an HVAC system in an average-sized home may cost upward of $1000 USD.<\/li>\n<li>Beware of advertisements that have \u201cwholehouse specials\u201d for very low prices. Many of them only include the main ducts and charge extra for the air handler, blower fans, registers and plenum. Upon arrival many of these companies then up-charge to excessive amounts.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the company offers a guarantee, video inspection you can watch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aladdin insulation and windows offer a free air duct inspection, including video inspection before and after.
