Duct sanitation

Air duct sanitation is a treatment designed to help reduce microbial contamination in your duct system.

What Is Air Duct Sanitation?

Air duct sanitation is a treatment designed to help reduce microbial contamination on appropriate interior surfaces of an HVAC duct system. It involves applying an HVAC-approved sanitizer according to the product label and manufacturer's instructions.

When Should Duct Sanitation Be Performed?

Duct sanitation may be recommended after water damage, when microbial contamination is identified, or following appropriate duct cleaning when sanitation is warranted. It may also be considered when addressing specific indoor air quality concerns.

Important: Duct sanitation is not required as routine maintenance for every HVAC system. The need for treatment depends on the condition of the ductwork and the type of contamination present.

Questions

Duct sanitation FAQ.

Sanitation cleans and treats the inside of the ducts for air quality. It does not address leaks or physical damage to the ductwork itself.

It varies by household, but every few years or after a renovation or pest issue near the ductwork is a common trigger point.

It addresses odor-causing buildup inside the ducts. A persistent smell with another source, like mold or pests, may need to be looked at separately.
