We offer:
- More reliable heating and air conditioning equipment that will need less frequent repairs.
- Healthier indoor air quality with no viruses or mold spores for a reduced allergy potential.
- Cleaner indoor environment with much less dusting required.
- More efficient airflow for even more comfort and a lower operating cost.
Airborne contaminants are drawn through the duct work of the central air conditioning system via return air registers. Standard, throw-away fiberglass filters remove less than 7% of these particles, which means much of the rest settles in your air ducts.
Now acknowledged as a major allergy and disease causing problem by leading medical authorities, poor indoor air quality has prompted doctors and allergists to commonly prescribe a clean home furnace and air duct cleaning as a remedy.
If you question the need for air duct cleaning, take a look behind the return air grills in the HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system of your home. Many people have found that one glimpse into their air ducts provides all the evidence they need to initiate a thorough cleansing of the home furnace and ac system.
A residential air duct cleaning job takes just a few hours and is a surprisingly clean and routine process. While making your home's indoor air quality safer, duct cleaning can also reduce heating and cooling costs by allowing yourclean home furnace to operate more efficiently. Moreover, duct cleaning can cut maintenance costs because a clean system has fewer breakdowns.
Fungi and Bacteria in ventilation systems can contaminate indoor environments and cause a variety of health effects. Many organisms cause allergic-type reactions, such as headaches, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Some fungi and bacteria can cause respiratory infections, especially in immune-comprised individuals.
The Cleaning Process:
We first inspect the entire system prior to cleaning. This includes testing the system to make sure it is operating properly.
We than remove furnace filter, wrap it in plastic and reinstall it in order to separate the supply and return sides of the system.
The next step is to create an access hole in the ductwork on the return side and connect the flexible vacuum hose to the ductwork.
We mask off the return grill(s) to ensure a strong vacuum and increase air velocity.
We start the vacuum and check for proper negative pressure.
Starting at the furthest grill, clean the grill and duct work with the air tools and brushes.
Once the return side has been thoroughly cleaned, we repeat these steps on the supply side.
We also clean the coils, blower and the rest of the furnace internals and if the system has been contaminated by water intrusion or smoke, sanitizers or sealants may be applied .
After the system has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, all access holes are resealed and the system is started to verify proper operation. |
