Preparing for a professional dust-extraction assessment

A clear description of the equipment and the airflow concern helps a dust-extraction assessment start with the right system.

Identify the component

Note whether the concern involves an HVAC system, dryer vent, HRV or ERV air exchanger, bathroom exhaust, or wall-mounted heat pump. These components are not interchangeable, and the work should be matched to the equipment.

Record useful observations

• Where is dust visible around accessible airflow points?
• Has normal airflow changed?
• Is a dryer taking longer to complete a cycle?
• Is dust collecting around a bathroom exhaust grille?
• Is the make or model of an HRV, ERV, or heat-pump unit easy to identify without opening it?

Keep access safe

Do not dismantle equipment simply to prepare for an assessment. Clear normal household items away from accessible service points and leave internal components to the professional.
