KEEP DUCTS AND HVAC EQUIPMENT CLEAN, DRY, AND FREE OF DUST AND DEBRIS DURING CONSTRUCTION. CLEAN DUCTS

BEFORE OCCUPANCY.

• ASK THE HVAC CONTRACTOR TO CREATE A PLAN LISTING HOW THEY WILL PROTECT THE DUCTS AND EQUIPMENT DURING

INSTALLATION.

• INSPECT DUCTS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION TO ENSURE THEY DON’T CONTAIN OIL OR DEBRIS.

• PRIOR TO INSTALLATION STORE DUCTS AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IN A CLEAN, DRY ENVIRONMENT. WRAP THE

EQUIPMENT WITH PLASTIC IF NECESSARY TO KEEP OUT DUST.

• AVOID OPERATING THE HVAC SYSTEM DURING CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT DUST FROM BEING PULLED INTO THE

SYSTEM. DO NOT RUN HVAC EQUIPMENT WHILE DRY-WALLING, SANDING, OR SAWING.

• MAINTAIN A CLEAN WORK AREA BY SWEEPING AND VACUUMING THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION.

• AFTER INSTALLATION AND BEFORE OPERATION, COVER HVAC AIR HANDLERS AND DUCT REGISTERS OR DUCT OPENINGS

WITH PLASTIC UNTIL CONSTRUCTION (INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF FLOORING, CARPETS, CABINETRY, AND FINISH CARPENTRY) IS COMPLETED. IF REGISTERS HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED YET, COVER THE DUCT OPENINGS WITH

PLYWOOD FOR SAFETY.

• AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE AND BEFORE OPERATING HVAC, CLEAN THE DUCTS USING A VACUUM AND PNEUMATIC BRUSHING SYSTEM MADE FOR DUCT CLEANING. DO NOT USE WET SOLUTIONS OR ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

SYSTEMS.

• AFTER CLEANING DUCTS, RUN THE CENTRAL FURNACE OR AIR HANDLER WITH A FILTER INSTALLED. REPLACE THE FILTER

BEFORE OCCUPANCY.
