Is Your Home Making You Sick?

Contaminated air ducts distribute pathogens and allergens throughout a home. If you’re suffering from itchy eyes, a runny nose, a persistent cough, or headaches, you might be dealing with indoor air pollution. The simple preventative measure of having your air ducts cleaned could radically improve your health and wellbeing.

50% of All Illness Is Caused or Aggravated By Polluted Indoor Air

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claims that indoor exposure to pollutants is “two to five times — and occasionally more than 100 times — higher than outdoor levels.” Some experts estimate up to 50% of all illnesses are the result of indoor pollutants. Each year, asthma-related emergency room visits from indoor exposure to mold, dust mites, animal dander, and other airborne catalysts top 200,000. Don’t let your air ducts serve as a recirculating tunnel for these harmful allergens.

Air Duct Cleaning Process

Air duct cleaning involves multiple components, including registers, filters, plenums, evaporator coils, and air handlers. Upon arrival, our technicians will inspect your duct system’s access points and current condition to customize a game plan. Utilizing a vacuum unit, we will create negative air pressure in the air ducts – ensuring dirt and other debris do not spread. We will then remove pollutants and icky buildup. Before leaving, our team will also complete a final inspection of the air ducts for quality assurance.

Duct Inspection

We visually inspect the air ducts for two reasons:

1. To assess the amount of dirt and debris in the ducts before and after cleaning. Some locations have cameras that can probe deeply into the ducts.
2. To check for leaks or kinks. We also excel at repairing and replacing damaged ductwork.

Vacuuming

We use heavy-duty HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove dust and debris from your ductwork. The process entails three steps:

1. We hook up our vacuum close to the air handler (the heart of the HVAC system) by cutting an access hole, inserting the vacuum’s hose, and tightly sealing where they connect.
2. To create negative air pressure, we tightly seal each register with an adhesive cover.
3. We use negative pressure, electric brushes, and vacuum power to remove particles trapped inside.

Compressed Air Flush

Once negative pressure is established throughout your ductwork, we will uncover each register one by one to clean various sections. To thoroughly loosen and agitate the dirt, our HVAC specialists use rotating brushes, compressed air tools, and high-powered vacuums. These tools ensure all dislodged particles and debris are entirely extracted.

Clean All Components of HVAC System

Along with your air ducts, we can clean all components of your HVAC system, including the:

• Air handler
• Blower motor
• Filters
• Vents
• Registers
• Evaporator coil
• Drain pan

With clean parts, a fresh air filter, and eco-friendly disinfectants, we can exponentially improve the air quality in your home.
