WHY CLEAN YOUR AIR DUCTS?

Would you be sorry to say goodbye to the insects, rodents, dust mites, bacteria, mold, pollen, animal dander and other debris trapped in your heating and air conditioning duct system? Our customers are always amazed to discover the massive amount of dust and debris that we remove from their HVAC systems. They are, also, always glad they made the decision to have their ducts cleaned.

Most of us have seen dust collect in inaccessible places in our homes. If you forget to vacuum under your bed for a few weeks you will find large accumulations of dust. Can you imagine what you'll find in a ventilation system that hasn't been cleaned in 5, 10 or 20 years?

In addition to being unpleasant, the dirt found in heating and air conditioning ductwork is often composed of insects, rodents, duct mites, animal hair and dander, pollen, dead skin, cigarette tar, asbestos, fungi and bacteria. These contaminants can aggravate allergies, asthma, sinus conditions and headaches in sensitive people. In its 1997 booklet, "The Inside Story, A Guide to Indoor Air Quality," the EPA reports that "People with breathing problems, allergies and lung diseases are particularly susceptible to disease causing biological agents in the indoor air. Contaminated central air handling systems can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew and other sources of biological contamination and can distribute these contaminants through the building."

Although you will be guaranteed to find a massive accumulation of dirt in the ventilation systems in older homes, you will also find dust and debris in newly constructed homes. In older homes we find blanket like clumps of dust and dirt, while in newer homes we find wood particles, sawdust and other construction debris and garbage. We even find food, soda and beer cans, left by the workers in the ducts.

Many of our customers are allergy and asthma sufferers who were advised to have their ducts cleaned by their doctors. We receive positive feedback from a number of these customers, who say that the air seems lighter and cleaner since we cleaned their homes.

In addition to ridding your home of the hidden dirt in your ventilation system, cleaning your air ducts can save you money by increasing the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system. It can also help prolong the life of your expensive HVAC components.

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR AIR DUCT SYSTEM?

If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it may be time to have your air duct system professionally cleaned.

Does anyone in your house have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems?

Does anyone in your family suffer from headaches, nasal congestion, or other sinus problems at night or in the morning?

Does it seem like there is not enough airflow coming through the vents?

Is your furnace equipped only with a standard throwaway fiberglass filter?

HOW WE DO IT?

• We shut off the furnace fa

• We hook up 8" suction hose (vacuum hose) from the truck to the main air duct system, warm air duct furnace area, using the shortest possible route, usually through a basement window, or front entrance of the house

• We run air compressor hose from our truck to the furthest vent

• We will activate 15000 CFM high power vacuum, then we will start cleaning each vent individually belonging to the warm air duct with power of 300 PSI using air gun and snake hoses This blows all the dirt and debris down the pipes and into the main ductwork

• We will use ?" access for air flush system in the main duct and clean all of the main supply ductwork by using an air snake and skipper ball and various specialty devices. It blows all the dirt and debris back towards the vacuum. For finished basements we use reverse air system

• Once we completed the warm air duct system we will transfer the hose to the return duct system (cold air) and repeat the same procedures

• After completion of cleaning the main duct system we cover all 8" access panels with aluminum plates and metal screws, ?" with plastic plugs
