The Cleaner The Better

In the Greater Vancouver area, more and more new homes are being equipped with air conditioning. This is particularly true in Vancouver and Richmond, where many households primarily rely on geothermal heating and have installed both air conditioning and HRV systems (commonly referred to as fresh air systems by the Chinese community). Although summers in Vancouver are not excessively hot, the air conditioning is used relatively infrequently, usually for just a few days. This leads some users to believe that infrequent use means duct cleaning is unnecessary. However, in our cleaning cases, we have found that many households have significant dust accumulation in their air conditioning return vents, primarily due to years of neglect. Dust generated from daily life can be drawn into the return ducts when the air conditioning is in use.
