Reporting & Recommendations
Can duct cleaning prevent COVID-19 spread?
The answer is YES!
Airflow that was designed to flow from a corridor into a room (negative pressure) can be periodically reversed if the room's air ducts are not clean. This can result in COVID-19 spread.
The consequences for a Facility Manager or Building Manager that have not complied with the Australian Standard are now extreme.

Australian Standards, HVAC Cleaning & COVID-19 Spread

HVAC Cleaning & Coronavirus – Virus Spread
This blog post explores the ways in which a virus can spread within a commercial building. In particular, it outlines the ways in which a company like Clean Air Filtration Services can minimise…
We clean air ducts belonging to commercial air conditioners and heating systems, ensuring that your buildings' ducts are free of dust, allergens and mould. Our service includes air testing, filter exchange and/or cleaning, as well as ensuring that you are compliant with the latest standards.
Our teams will examine your building, establish the best way to proceed, and upon completion of the job we will present you with a report detailing an overview of which contaminators or pollutants were discovered.
A breakdown of our general heating duct cleaning work is as follows:
- Find the source of contamination and remove pollutants from the ducting system.
- High-Efficiency Particulate Air Vacuuming of all associated returns, diffusers, exhaust fans, registers and return grills.
- Replacing or clean all grills and damaged filters.
- Provide access hatches if needed.
- Clean heating cooling coils.
- Check the airflow of the system.
- Deodorise and sanitize.
- Ducted heating cleaning using proper hygienic measures.
- Seal outlet registers with media, clean plenum chambers and fans.
Duct cleaning will also improve airflow throughout the building.
If more air is removed through the exhaust than what is supplied through the supply, the room will have negative air pressure. That balance can change, and can even be reversed if air ducts are not cleaned properly.
