A complete cleaning of the air exchanger ensures the best possible air quality for all the occupants of your home. Using a team of professionals to perform this task ensures quality work.
The same applies to all the other ducts in your home. The maintenance of these ducts and systems is necessary. It ensures good air quality for all occupants. Their safety and comfort will also be improved.
For the past few decades, houses have been built very airtight. They therefore need to be assisted by an air exchanger. This device allows the air inside to be renewed by evacuating stale and humid air to the outside.
Even if it differs from other ventilation systems and ducts, the air exchanger must also be meticulously and frequently maintained. The health and comfort of all the occupants of your home depend on it.
Our team uses the most recommended and most effective air exchanger cleaning method in the industry, which is by pulsing, suction, and friction. (ACR Standard, NADCA Standard) At the end of the work, we recommend a thymol-based (Benefect) disinfectant/antibacterial treatment by fumigation in your ducts. This service is offered as an option.

What are the consequences of a poorly or infrequently cleaned air exchanger?
An air exchanger filled with dust or other debris will not allow air to enter the ducts normally. However, the air will continue to flow out to the outside. This will create negative pressure in the house and outside air will infiltrate through openings, cracks, and gaps.
If the filter that is used to evacuate air from the inside to the outside is also clogged, the air exchanger will no longer do its job at all. The air will not be renewed and you will always breathe the same stale and polluted air in the house.
Ultimately, the entire appliance will become clogged and will need to be cleaned by qualified technicians.
How often is it recommended to clean the air exchanger?
If your air exchanger has filters, it is recommended to clean or replace them every three months, at each change of season. Indeed, there are models of air exchangers that work with washable filters, others with disposable filters. However, if you live in a more dusty than normal environment, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Major work in the house or outside may also justify a complete maintenance of the air exchanger earlier than expected. Thus, all dust, dirt and debris will be dislodged and will not interfere with the proper functioning of the appliance.
The outdoor and indoor air intakes must also be cleaned regularly. Indeed, the grille of the outdoor air intake may be obstructed and eventually choke the appliance. It is therefore necessary to remove leaves, grass, snow, ice and other particles that block the air intake. Inside the house, it is important to remove dust and debris from the suction vents.
If you have an air return in the kitchen, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Indeed, cooking grease tends to be sucked into the air exchanger ducts. Their presence could alter the proper functioning of the air exchanger, or even cause significant damage to your appliance.
Before undertaking any cleaning, refer to the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer. You will thus have all the indications as to the specificities of your appliance.
Before carrying out any work on your air exchanger, you must turn off your appliance. Such an oversight could be fatal for your appliance or even cause injury to the person in charge of cleaning.
How do you know it's time to clean the air exchanger?
The presence of dirt on the wall grilles is usually a good indication of the general condition of the air exchanger and its filters. This indicator also shows that the vents are dirty. The accumulation of dust in the appliance and its general cleanliness are also good indicators.
Other, often more discreet, signs may suggest that the air exchanger is not in good condition. Have you noticed that dust comes back faster on the different surfaces after being cleaned? Do you notice the presence of bad odors in your property? Is there excessive humidity in one or more rooms of your residence? Has an occupant of your household developed certain health problems? These can be allergies, sinusitis, headaches, respiratory tract irritation or asthma. If you answered 'yes' to one or more of these questions, it may be that your air exchanger needs to be cleaned.
How to clean the air exchanger pipes?
Indeed, as its name suggests, the air exchanger is responsible for distributing healthy air throughout all rooms by admitting and evacuating air from outside. Thus, the air breathed in the house is constantly renewed and the humidity level is better controlled. To effectively fulfill its functions with the best possible performance, the air exchanger must therefore be cleaned regularly to remove the waste that accumulates over time.

Me SeeJust had air duct, dryer duct, air exchange duct clean yesterday, this hasn't been done for almost 5 years, the duct must be full of dirt and lint, so it took longer time. The 2 technicians are very patient, very professional. They even took off their shoes to avoid dirty my floor - very impressive. When the job done, upon my request, they inserted a mini camera into the duct and show me how clean and nice they are -- spotless clean!!! I recommended to my friends immediately. Thanks a lot to Emanuel and Chris, thank you for your hard job.
