Home Ventilation Dust Observation Log

This simple log helps homeowners collect useful information before contacting Breathewell for residential dust extraction in Montreal's West Island and Vaudreuil area.

Breathewell works with HVAC systems, dryer vents, HRV/ERV air exchangers, bathroom exhausts, and wall-mounted heat pumps. The service is dust extraction, not air-duct cleaning.

What to record

Date Equipment Room or area What you noticed Recent change
HVAC supply or return Visible dust, reduced airflow, or odour Filter change, renovation, or seasonal startup
Dryer vent Longer drying time, heat, or lint Dryer moved or vent reconnected
HRV/ERV Dust at grille, stale odour, or condensation Filters or core serviced
Bathroom exhaust Weak airflow or dusty grille Fan or grille cleaned
Wall-mounted heat pump Dust, odour, or reduced airflow Filter washed or unit restarted

How to use the log

  1. Identify the exact equipment rather than writing only “vent.”
  2. Record symptoms without dismantling the system.
  3. Note recent renovations, drywall sanding, painting, water leaks, or filter changes.
  4. Add the room or floor so the affected equipment is easy to locate.
  5. Share the observations when booking professional service.

Safe preparation

Keep access paths clear, move fragile objects away from equipment, and secure pets before a service visit. Do not remove panels or reach into powered equipment. A written observation is more useful than guessing at the cause.
