Protect your HVAC during home remodeling

Protect your HVAC during home remodeling

Remodeling your home may be something that you have been looking forward to for a long time.

With so many decisions and preparation measures for the remodel, it can be easy to forget about protecting your HVAC system.

You need to ensure that you take the time to properly prepare your system so that it doesn’t intake excess dust and other debris which could cause it to malfunction in the future. It is a good idea to cover up the registers in the active work zone to prevent excess dust from getting into your ductwork. Don’t close off too many registers as it will greatly reduce airflow in your home. One great way to help protect your HVAC system during a remodel is to simply do all the messy work outside. Cutting and sanding jobs that will be creating a lot of dust should be moved outdoors. You have probably been instructed to change out your HVAC filters every few months. However, when it comes to remodeling, this time period is going to decrease significantly. It’s best to stock up on HVAC filters when you know a remodeling project will be getting started. Once the remodeling project is completed, you should have your HVAC professional do a ductwork cleaning for your system. This will help remove all unwanted debris that finds its way into your system during the remodeling process. Ensure they also clean off your coils and blower fan.
