Short answer
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, a technical service of Climatiza, inspects and cleans the ducts of medical offices, offices and apartment buildings in Bella Vista, about 5 km from its office. Each management office or premises manager settles the hours and access points with the team.
Bella Vista is a central, well-established neighborhood. Within a few blocks there are apartment buildings, medical offices and clinics, offices, restaurants and stores built in different eras, and that mix carries over to the air conditioning: recent units sit next to systems that have been running for years. It is about 5 km by road from the Climatiza office, in an approximate calculation.
In the older buildings the ductwork already has a long service life, and a duct holds on to part of the dust the air carries. Between the ambient humidity and the condensation of the unit, that dust turns damp and can feed biofilm, and it almost never gets to dry. That is why the first step is to learn what system each building has.
Data point: In an air system that looked clean to the naked eye, 10⁵ to 10⁶ viable bacteria per cm² were counted on the coil fins (Hugenholtz and Fuerst, 1992). It is a case measured in a single system, not a general figure, which is why the camera looks inside before deciding.
| Building type | What is usually there | What is checked first |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment buildings | Systems of different ages, from recent units to networks with many years of service | The age of the system and the condition of the grilles and of the access points that already exist |
| Medical offices and clinics | Each practice with its own unit or with air shared from the building | Whether the unit is its own or shared, and the protocol the practice sets for work |
| Offices | Suites and floors inside buildings that were not all built at the same time | Odor when the unit starts, dusty grilles and complaints from one suite |
| Stores and restaurants | Dining rooms and street-level premises with their own units | Dining room returns and humidity in the unit |
01
First the system in each building is identified, along with its era, to know what to expect when opening.
02
The camera goes through the access points that exist, and in older buildings the sections that cannot be seen are noted.
03
Cleaning by section and a photo and video write-up that each building keeps as a record of its ductwork.
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, a technical service of Climatiza, inspects and cleans the ducts of medical offices, offices and apartment buildings in Bella Vista, about 5 km from its office. Each management office or premises manager settles the hours and access points with the team.
A lingering odor when the air starts, dust on diffusers and grilles, complaints from staff or visitors, and rooms where the air arrives with less force than in others all speak to it. A camera inspection confirms the inside. A fixed calendar for everyone does not exist, and the age of the system matters.
Yes. The camera goes in through the access points that exist and covers what can be seen, and the report notes the sections that stayed hidden or unrecorded. If a new access has to be opened, it is agreed beforehand with the management. More in access doors in ductwork.
Not necessarily. In a building with units from different eras, each system is inspected separately, and the plan comes from what the camera shows and not from the installation date. The report records the condition of each network, so it can be compared at the next review.
Before any work, the inspection shows what each building has. Related: Clinics and pharmacies, Retail and All areas. Climatiza publishes its own Bella Vista page (in Spanish), and the service is provided by Climatiza.
