DIY HVAC Supplies

If you wish to perform maintenance without seeking the help of professional contractor on heating cooling or ventilation systems, then you will be in need of various DIY HVAC supplies. Though certain jobs are reserved for professionals, others can be performed by anyone. One such job is the vacuuming of the duct work. You will need a vacuum with a long extender wand. Use duct tape to secure the wand and the nozzle you're using so that it doesn't fall off when you're poking it around in the ducts. The longer the wand, the more you'll be able to clean.

First, remove the vents with a screwdriver. Next, simply insert the vacuum hose with wand and nozzle securely attached into the hole as far as you can, and turn the vacuum on. Move it around to get the maximum amount of dust and dirt sucked up. Vacuuming your ducts yourself isn't a replacement for professional cleaning, but it can help you cut down on airborne contaminants and help your heat work more efficiently. You should have your ducts cleaned by a pro approximately once a year. Some contractors can apply an antibacterial and antifungal spray to the inside of your duct work to make the air you breathe more sanitary.

Another item you will need to keep your heating working efficiently is a good furnace filter, replaced once per month or as according to the package directions. There are many different types of furnace filters you can purchase. You will find all kinds of materials including cotton, fiberglass, paper and synthetic non-woven materials. The best choice is likely going to be a medium-efficiency synthetic non-woven filter. The reason medium efficiency is preferred is because it removes more particulate matter from the air than low efficiency yet doesn't get clogged like high efficiency filters often do.

You can purchase DIY HVAC supplies anywhere home improvement supplies and tools are sold. Examples might include hardware stores and home improvement superstores like Home Depot. You can also buy tools online. Ebay is a great source for bargain priced items including all different kinds of tools. You might also want to check Craigslist which is another place to find great deals. There are also all kinds of specialty etailers who carry HVAC tools and supplies for contractors and those interested in do-it-yourself maintenance.
