ARIA VENTS - Are they good for air flow?
Aria vents are gaining popularity with homes and businesses looking for a new way to design and showcase the interior to be more pleasant to the eye. As a furnace and duct cleaning company, one of the things we’ve been cleaning for over 40 years is registers, vents, cold air returns and many other areas in which your home continuously sucks and blows dust through your HVAC system.
Aria vents have grates or covers that open and close to control air flow. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications. Aria vents are not only aesthetically pleasing, but claim they offer the same air flow of a regular register. They can be installed in minutes, and they look great in any setting.
Aria vents are a popular choice for homeowners throughout Canada who want to match the walls and floors of their home with its design. These vents come in a variety of colours and styles, making it easy to find a match for any colour or design scheme.
ARIA VENT IS A COOL CONCEPT … NOT EASY TO CLEAN
However, as attractive as they may be, Aria vents can be difficult to clean. The slots and crevices can easily become clogged with dust and dirt, which can reduce air flow and cause the vent to restrict air flow. In addition, the paint or finish on the vent can be easily damaged if it is not cleaned properly. For these reasons, it is important to consult a professional furnace and duct cleaning company before installing Aria vents in your home. They can help you understand and choose the right style and colour of vent and show you how to clean it properly so that it lasts for years to come.
RESTRICTIVE AIR FLOW
The concept behind the Aria Vent it is quite impressive. Air vents are set up in a way that allows the air to flow around the outside of the vent but not through the centre. We are stating that this can be very restrictive. Many homes depending on how the duct work was installed may have many bends and elbows. Of course the more bends there are and the layout of the ductwork in your home could result in poor airflow even before you even install the Aria vent.
Keep in mind if you are installing the Aria Vent, you may be required to remove it prior to any HVAC cleaning company coming in to clean it. It’s more important if it CAN be cleaned after installing. The main reason is that depending if you installed over Tile, Vinyl floor or wood flooring all of these are beautiful in decor but not practical for cleaning and ongoing maintenance.
When you’re undertaking renovations of any kind, it’s important to remember to have your furnace, HVAC and air duct system cleaned. This is especially important if there is any drywall dust or any other dust debris from installation and maintenance.
