AIRTECH Services<br />

We are a company that cleans ductwork, and does nothing else. One of the difficulties encountered by many<br />

service companies is that proficiency in several related services is required to be successful. For example, many<br />

HVAC companies offer duct cleaning as a supplemental service, but of course their primary business is<br />

installing and servicing heating and cooling equipment. For these companies, duct cleaning is not always given<br />

the attention it deserves. Often it is done by less experienced employees, and is almost always done with<br />

inferior equipment.


We emphasize that AIRTECH is a company that does nothing but duct cleaning. No furnace installation or<br />

services, no maintenance of HVAC equipment, just duct cleaning. We have learned to become specialists in<br />

duct cleaning.<br />

We provide any services you might need in the duct cleaning and air quality industry. Whether you are a<br />

home owner taking care of the health and safety of your family or a business administrator maintaining air<br />

quality standards in the work environment, or maybe you are concerned about the fire or micro-bacterial<br />

contamination hazards caused due to unclean kitchen and laundry exhaust ducts, we are here to take care of<br />

your needs.<br />

Some of the services we provide include:<br />

HVAC Duct Cleaning<br />

Laundry Dryer Duct Cleaning<br />

Kitchen Exhaust Duct Cleaning<br />

Industrial Duct Cleaning<br />

HVAC Duct Cleaning<br />

Forced air systems pull in contaminated air and circulate it throughout the duct system. While filters capture<br />

some of the debris, they don’t catch everything. When dirt settles in the ducts, it creates a breeding ground for<br />

bacteria, mold, fungus, germs, insects and rodents. This unhealthy air blows out through the various vents in<br />

the building and into the work environment. Not only do employees typically complain about these<br />

allergy/asthma/flu aggravants, but dust and dirt particles in the air make their way into computers and other<br />

sensitive equipment. In addition to causing employee health problems, dirty HVAC ducts can impair the<br />

efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system components. This greatly decreases the efficiency of<br />

your system which increases the cost of your energy bill.<br />

AIRTECH has been cleaning HVAC systems for over 8 years. In that time we have gained a tremendous amount<br />

of experience by performing projects in wide variety of Industries and building types. We have cleaned the air<br />

ducts in offices, hotels, high-rise buildings, hospitals, pharmaceuticals etc. Each project has a unique set of<br />

circumstances and so we customize a work plan for each individual project.<br />

Our customers hire us for a variety of reasons, some of which include:<br />

Complaints by occupants about the indoor air quality.<br />

Excessive dust in the building.<br />

Hot or cold spots in the building that are the result of a dirty system.<br />

Poor performance by their HVAC system.<br />

Thermal comfort.<br />

Odors.<br />

As a regular part of a proactive maintenance program.


HVAC System Cleaning Procedure<br />

The proposal process<br />

We come out to your building free of charge and discuss with you your needs. We do an overview inspection<br />

of your systems, evaluate your needs and then recommend a solution. We then create a proposal for you<br />

usually with options for you to consider.<br />

Proposal acceptance phase<br />

If you accept our proposal we then discuss with you a plan of action and schedule a time frame for the work to<br />

begin based upon your convenience.<br />

Assessment phase<br />

We then do a detailed assessment of the project. We consider the type and use of the building to plan for<br />

containments and protective measures we need to take to insure the safety of the building occupants and the<br />

building structure and furnishings.<br />

Scope of work and work plan<br />

Based upon our assessment we then chalk out a scope of work and a work plan so that our technicians know<br />

which components to clean, what techniques to employ to clean them, what protective measures they need to<br />

take to protect the building and its occupants, and all the information our technicians need in order to<br />

successfully complete the project.<br />

Scheduling phase<br />

After we have a scope of work we then allocate the proper manpower and equipment that will be necessary to<br />

complete the project on schedule.<br />

Arrive at sight<br />

Safety is our first priority. When we first arrive at the sight we review any site specific safety requirements<br />

before we begin work.<br />

Protecting building and furnishings<br />

We usually start the project by covering desks and furnishings and carpeting with plastic drop cloths and put<br />

corner protectors on the walls as and where required.<br />

Inspection before cleaning<br />

A visual inspection of air duct is an important part of our service. Our RoboCam helps to reach out<br />

places where human eye cannot reach. A thorough inspection is done using RoboCam and Inspection<br />

Video System (IVS). The RoboCam is inserted into the duct through any of the grills or any opening.<br />

Information received on the IVS is carefully viewed and also recorded on a SD Card for evidence of<br />

work. Still pictures are also taken using digital cameras to photo document the condition of the duct.<br />

Cleaning phase<br />

Clean one system at a time. When we are cleaning a HVAC system we try to clean one system in its entirety<br />

before moving on to the next system. We clean the following components on a full system clean<br />

The air handler including the heat exchangers, the blowers, the filter racks, the plenums, the drain<br />

pans and the entire air passage way<br />

We wash the evaporator coils<br />

We clean the full length of the supply air ducts


We clean the full length of the return air ducts<br />

We clean the registers and diffusers<br />

We clean turning vanes and dampers<br />

We clean VAV boxes and or mixing boxes<br />

In a full system clean we clean all the components located in the air stream from the point the air enters the<br />

system to the point the air exits the system.<br />

Duct Cleaning using Negative Pressure Machine and Rotary Brush -After proper inspection and<br />

planning, Negative Pressure Machine (NPM) is installed at one end of the air duct and from the other<br />

end rotating brush is inserted into the duct. Rotating brush helps in loosening of the dust. Dust is<br />

then sucked out by the NPM.<br />

Cleaning using Air Whip -The technique is only used if solid dust or debris is stuck onto the walls of<br />

Air Duct. Air Whip uses a vibrating and high-pressure air that breaks solid dust particles which gets<br />

stuck to walls of air duct. High Air pressure helps in pushing them forward and is then sucked by<br />

NPM.<br />

Contact Vacuuming - Lastly contact vacuuming is done. It can reach places where brush cannot reach<br />

and also at air duct joints where dust are stuck giving a completely Clean Air Duct. Also grills and<br />

filters are cleaned used contact vacuuming.<br />

Dust / debris disposal<br />

Dust / debris disposal is done in a very careful manner. Removal of dust from NPM and other<br />

machines is done in an appropriate way. It is either disposed off or given to client for chemical test.<br />

Inspection after cleaning<br />

Inspection after cleaning using RoboCam and IVS is done to verify whether any dust/debris is left over<br />

and has not been removed. It also provides proof of cleaning and ensures that the job done has met<br />

our high standards.<br />

Clean Up<br />

At the end of every day we will remove drop cloths, clean the entire work area and leave the premises cleaner<br />

than it was when we arrived.<br />

Reporting Phase<br />

After the project is complete we will supply you with photo documentation that we have performed as<br />

promised along with a Job Completion Certificate. If required we also provide with a VCD or SD CARD of the<br />

video captured by our RoboCam.<br />

Please note that the procedures mentioned above are a general guideline of how we perform every<br />

project. Each job can vary depending on the building usage and working conditions and certain circumstances.<br />

However our goal at every project always remains the same:<br />

Work safely and neatly.<br />

Don’t damage anything<br />

Don’t release any forms of contamination into the building envelope.<br />

Clean all the specified components according to NADCA Standards.<br />

Visually inspect all work and verify cleanliness.<br />

Take pictures / videos of all work to document cleaning effectiveness.<br />

Submit documentation that we have performed as promised.<br />

Guarantee all our work.


Laundry Dryer Duct Cleaning<br />

When a commercial dryer vent is clogged, airflow is reduced and commercial dryers are forced to work harder.<br />

This means the air travelling through the ductwork and vents gets hotter and does not dry effectively, which<br />

can cause:<br />

Potential for lint to ignite as the heated air moves slower and temperature intensifies.<br />

Accelerated thermostat and internal sensor failure.<br />

Reduction in the lifespan of your appliance.<br />

Higher energy consumption.<br />

Most commercial dryers come with lint traps, or filters, designed to capture the lint, yet only 30-40% is<br />

typically collected. The remainder sticks to the duct work and piping. Lint and other debris builds up over time<br />

so it is not ever safe to assume that emptying the filter regularly is enough to protect your property from a<br />

dryer vent fire.<br />

Some of the signs you need commercial dryer vent cleaning:<br />

There is an accumulation of lint or debris on the external vent.<br />

The dryer is hot to the touch indicating it is overheating.<br />

It takes more than one drying cycle to dry one load.<br />

The laundered items smell “musty” after being in the dryer.<br />

Laundry Dryer Duct Cleaning Procedure<br />

The formal process for all our projects remain the same as it has been stated above for the HVAC system<br />

cleaning process.<br />

Kitchen Exhaust Duct Cleaning<br />

Grease from the kitchen travels into the hood, through the vent hood filters, into ductwork that leads to the<br />

exhaust fan on the roof. Grease is a fuel that can ignite with a simple spark from the kitchen cooking line and<br />

spread throughout the attic and onto the roof in seconds causing severe damage and potential loss of life. The<br />

owner of the exhaust system has the ultimate responsibility to ensure the exhaust system is safe.<br />

AIRTECH cleans your kitchen exhaust system from cook-top to roof-top to ensure that your exhaust system is<br />

completely cleaned to the NFPA Standard-96. Many of our competitors clean only where you can see and<br />

don’t spend time on the areas you can’t. We clean the hood, the entire duct work and the blower fan. We<br />

even prove it through our Picture Verification System which we provide on every clean!<br />

Having your exhaust system cleaned regularly is not only for the safety of your customer, employees, and your<br />

building; it’s mandated by law that you have it done.<br />

Kitchen Exhaust System Inspection & Cleaning Schedule<br />

It is very typical for a municipality to adopt the standard written by the National Fire Protection Association<br />

(NFPA) as the local law or code for building and cleaning commercial kitchen grease hoods. The NFPA is an<br />

independent organization, not an arm of the government. The standard that the NFPA has written concerning


commercial kitchens is NFPA 96. Again, NFPA 96 is a standard written by an independent organization, not a<br />

law or code until it is adopted as a law or code by the municipality where the cooking establishment is located.<br />

Since NFPA is the standard most widely and universally adopted into law, it is the only standard that we will<br />

address and follow.<br />

According to NFPA 96 – 2011, Section 11.4: “The entire exhaust system shall be inspected for grease buildup<br />

by a properly trained, qualified, and certified person(s) acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and in<br />

accordance with Table 11.4.”<br />

NFPA 96 – Table 11.4<br />

Type or Volume of Cooking Frequency Cleaning Frequency<br />

Systems serving solid fuel cooking operations Monthly<br />

Systems serving high-volume cooking operations such as 24-hour cooking,<br />

charbroiling, or wok cooking<br />

Quarterly<br />

Systems serving moderate-volume cooking operations Semi - Annually<br />

Systems serving low-volume cooking operations, such as churches, day camps,<br />

seasonal businesses, or senior centers.<br />

Industrial Duct Cleaning<br />

Annually<br />

The most important element for keeping your industrial ducting clean has to be the human element.<br />

Depending on the extraction system different factors will be working against your ductwork and having Airtech<br />

maintain your system will increase its effectiveness and working life. Prevention is always better than the cure<br />

and this couldn’t be truer than with ducting. The accumulation of grease, dirt and dust can make for<br />

uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous working conditions. Rest assured Airtech has the solution. We offer<br />

a one off or regular cleaning program that will eliminate the buildup of grease and grime that is inevitable and<br />

it’s this grime that we enjoy to clean. Please use the below table to decide the best cleaning intervals for your<br />

duct work. The frequency depends on the usage and the vulnerability of the system to ignition.<br />

USAGE (Hours per Day of Operation) Cleaning Frequency<br />

Very Heavy Use (16 – 20 hours per day) Monthly<br />

Heavy Use (12 – 16 hours per day) Quarterly<br />

Moderate Use (6 – 12 hours per day) Semi - Annually<br />

Light Use (2 – 6 hours per day) Annually
