Many homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are diligent about changing their air filters, but the filters can only do so much. During a recent project, our team at Space Air Duct Cleaning demonstrated why the “heart” of the HVAC system, the plenum box requires professional attention.
Identifying the Buildup
The initial inspection of this unit revealed a common but hidden issue. The interior of the plenum box was covered in a heavy layer of dark, matted dust and organic spotting. Because the plenum is the central chamber that distributes air to every vent in the house, any contamination here affects the air quality in every single room.
A Thorough Restoration
As a NADCA-certified company, we used a systematic approach to restore the system:
-
Powerful Extraction: Technicians used high-powered vacuum equipment to remove the thick accumulation of debris from the internal surfaces.
-
Sanitization: After the physical debris was cleared, the area was treated to neutralize pathogens and ensure a fresh start for the system.
-
Transparent Results: The team documented the process with before-and-after photos to provide the homeowner with clear proof of a job well done.
The Benefits of a Clean System
By the time the project was finished, the plenum box was restored to a clean, debris-free state. This doesn’t just improve the smell and quality of the air; it also helps the HVAC system run more efficiently by allowing air to move freely without obstruction.
