Air Duct Cleaning

Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. In a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living. Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home.

If you haven’t clean your air ducts, you are putting you and your family at risk.  While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home or office, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.

Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average.

Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the duct work. Some research suggests that cleaning heating and cooling system components may improve the efficiency of your system, resulting in a longer operating life, as well as some energy and maintenance cost savings.

You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:

• There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface  ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system

• Ducts are infested with vermin

• Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers
