There is a wide variety of equipment that HVAC professionals can use. Some companies may use a truck-mounted vacuum while others use portable vacuums.
Breaking Contaminants Loose: Source removal begins with the use of one or more agitation devices designed to loosen contaminants from the surfaces of the duct work. These devices include:Â
- Brushes
- Air whips
- Compressed air nozzles or skipper balls
Agitation can also be achieved through hand-brushing or contact vacuuming.
EPA approved antimicrobial disinfectants can also be applied to HVAC systems to address microbial contamination.
