AIR DUCT CLEANING


 Most of us have seen dust collect in inaccessible places in our homes ... under beds and behind refrigerators or stoves. Imagine the amount of dust and debris that has accumulated in your ventilation system over a period of 5, 10, or 20 years. In addition to being unpleasant, the dirt found in heating and air conditioning duct work is often composed of insects, duct mites, animal hair and dander, pollen, cigarette tar, fungi and bacteria. Let's face it, none of this is healthy to breathe.

 

The duct cleaning process ...

1.) An access hole is cut into the supply plenum. A high powered vacuum is connected to the plenum and creates a high velocity vacuum inside the main supply duct.

2.) Each branch is then cleaned by feeding high pressure cleaning devises, such as power brushes and duct whips, to dislodge caked on debris and push anything inside the duct down to the main supply trunk where it is pulled into the vacuum's filtration collection system. The main trunk is then cleaned in the same manner.

3.) The whole process is repeated for the cold air return side of the duct system.

4.) At this point, the furnace motor and blower assembly are cleaned along with an inspection of the furnace safeties and operation.

5.) Upon completion of the cleaning process, the inside of the duct system is sanitized by using a fog machine. This emits an EPA registered sanitizer and disinfectant onto the inside of the air duct to prevent bacteria and odors from reoccurring.

6.) The technician does a visual inspection with the scopes and mirrors to ensure the ducts have been completely cleaned. The access hole is sealed, returning your duct system to its original, clean condition.

7.)  A clean and check is then done to the furnace and, weather permitting, to the central air conditioning system.

Air Duct Cleaning

 

A Healthy Home Improvement

We live in a world where healthy living has become a way of life. We diet and exercise to make ourselves feel better. We have also taken on environmental issues to make our world a cleaner and safer place to live. Yet the most overlooked issue is the air that we breathe.

 
The EPA claims that indoor air has been found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. Now consider that most people spend between 60% to 90% of their time indoors ... The facts can be quite alarming.

" MOST PEOPLE SPEND 90% OF THEIR TIME INDOORS. "

"CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY THAN ADULTS TO BE AFFECTED BY POLLUTED INDOOR AIR."

Considering we spend so much time indoors, it makes perfect sense to clean the source of our indoor air quality problems ... Our air ducts.

Do you have an "Indoor Air Pollution" Problem?

If you answer "YES" to any of the following questions, your home may suffer from "Indoor Air Pollution".

Do you have an air circulating system that utilizes a standard fiberglass filter?

Do you have pets?

Are there smokers in the house?

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

Do you regularly clean excessive dust accumulations from your household furniture?

Do you experience headaches, nausea, burning sensations in the nose, throat, or eyes when inside the home?

Do you have "dust trails" or discoloring coming out of your air duct registers?

When you last changed your furnace filter, did you see dust and dirt inside the filter housing?

Dirt, dust mold, pollen, and animal dander are recirculated through our air ducts every time we turn on our heat or air conditioner. Combine this with moisture and you have the ideal breeding ground for fungi, germs, and household mold. Studies have confirmed that some diseases, including salmonella, strep, and legionnaires disease are spread by contaminated air ducts.

 

 

We use the most advanced air duct cleaning system available. It is designed and manufactured by Meyer Machine & Equipment, Inc., one of the leading manufacturers of vacuum equipment in the United States.

All of our equipment is manufactured to meet or exceed OSHA, EPA, and NADCA Standards for cleaning the air of nuisance dust.

Our powerful vacuum system will first be connected to the air duct near your furnace. Various tools will then be used to dislodge the contaminants and debris in the ducts. The powerful vacuum will then pull the contaminants out of the ducts and through the filtration system; returning clean air back into your home. Once your system is cleaned, all access holes are resealed, returning the duct system to its original condition.
