In today’s environment, where modern residential buildings are designed to be increasingly airtight, it’s crucial to focus on indoor air quality to ensure our health and comfort. To achieve this, regular cleaning and maintenance of the air exchanger are essential. They ensure optimum ventilation and air renewal in all living spaces.
Duraclim offers professional air exchanger and vent cleaning services, ensuring optimal air circulation, reducing allergens and pollutants, and helping to extend the life of your ventilation system.
The function of an air exchanger is to introduce fresh air into your home while expelling polluted air outside, thus renewing the ambient air. This improves indoor air quality by eliminating pollutants, allergens, excess CO2 and humidity.
A metaphor for better understanding?
Just as our bodies need a constant supply of fresh oxygen to function properly and to eliminate carbon dioxide and waste products through respiration, a building also benefits from a constant supply of fresh air to maintain a healthy indoor environment. An air exchanger works in a similar way to the lungs in this exchange process, ensuring that indoor air remains clean and conducive to good health, while minimizing energy loss.
Air exchanger cleaning is a crucial step in ensuring optimal indoor air quality in Quebec. By effectively removing accumulated dust, allergens and mold, our air exchanger cleaning service contributes directly to improving the air you breathe every day.
In addition to improving air quality, professional cleaning of your air exchanger and air vents ensures greater energy efficiency for your HVAC system. This translates into significant savings on your energy bills, thanks to more efficient operation requiring less energy to regulate your home’s temperature.
Regular cleaning of the air exchanger also helps prevent potential breakdowns, prolonging the life of your equipment and avoiding costly repairs. What’s more, it helps combat the proliferation of mold and other bio-contaminants, reducing the risk of air-quality-related health problems.
Your home’s comfort is enhanced, with more uniform air distribution and no unpleasant odors, resulting from a clean, well-maintained ventilation system.
It’s important to have your air exchanger (and connected air vents) cleaned at least once a year by a qualified professional.

The time required to clean and maintain an air exchanger and its vents can vary according to a number of factors, such as the size of the system, its accessibility, its general condition and the level of accumulated dirt. On average, this task can take between 2 and 3 hours.
For a regularly maintained system in a medium-sized home, cleaning can be relatively quick, being completed in around 2 hours. However, if the system has not been cleaned for a long time, or is particularly dirty, it could take up to 3 hours or more for a thorough cleaning.
It’s advisable to call in the professionals for this type of cleaning, as we have the equipment to do the job safely and efficiently.
We recommend that you maintain your air exchanger at least once a year. This annual cleaning ensures that the unit operates efficiently, by removing accumulations of dust and other particles that can clog filters and ducts, reduce indoor air quality and lower the unit’s energy efficiency.
In addition to annual cleaning, we also recommend checking and replacing air exchanger filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and outdoor air quality. Particular attention may be required in very dusty environments, or if the home’s occupants have allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
If you have pets, smoke indoors, or live in a high-pollution area, you may need to service your air exchanger more frequently to maintain good indoor air quality.
To facilitate maintenance of your air exchanger, there are a number of best practices you can adopt that will not only keep the unit in good working order, but also extend its service life.
1. Check and replace filters regularly: Replace or clean your air exchanger filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on use and outside air quality.
2. Clean air vents:Vacuum regularly around the air vents to prevent the build-up of dust and debris. This helps maintain optimum air circulation.
3. Maintain a clean environment: Reducing the amount of dust and debris in your home can help reduce the frequency of cleaning required for the air exchanger. Using mats at entrances and avoiding smoking indoors are measures that contribute to this effort!
