Robotic Air-Conditioning Duct Cleaning

  • Internal ductwork cleaning is an essential—yet often overlooked—part of maintaining an efficient air-conditioning system. Dust and debris naturally accumulate over time, creating conditions for microbial growth. As the system circulates air, these contaminants can spread throughout the building, affecting indoor air quality and overall comfort.

  • Universal Base uses advanced robotic duct-cleaning technology to ensure every section of the ductwork is thoroughly and hygienically cleaned. Our robots access tight or complex areas that traditional manual cleaning methods often miss, delivering a consistently high level of cleanliness across the entire system.

    To provide complete transparency, we supply video footage of the cleaning process, allowing clients to clearly see the “before-and-after” results.

Understanding Indoor Air Quality

  • Cooling, heating, humidification, dehumidification, and ventilation all play a critical role in maintaining healthy indoor air. Effective air treatment ensures comfort while supporting a cleaner, safer built environment.

  • Indoor spaces can accumulate a wide range of pollutants including dust, smoke, pathogens such as bacteria and fungus, unpleasant odours, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These contaminants can compromise health and reduce overall air quality if left unmanaged.

  • Airborne pollutants originate from both biological and non-biological sources. Contaminants may enter through outdoor air, or be redistributed within a building through recirculated particulates, emphasizing the need for proper filtration, cleaning, and ongoing air-quality management.
