| What is Duct Cleaning? back to top Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor, fan housing, and the air handling unit housing. If not properly maintained, and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased and spores from such growth may be released into the home's living space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them. Duct cleaning involves cleaning the all of these areas where air moves from your central air conditioner and furnace throughout your home. If your air ducts are dirty, that dirt is circulated throughout your home and into the air you breathe. The dirt is also pulled through your central air conditioner, which can damage and strain the unit and decrease the overall efficiency of the unit. Some research suggests that cleaning your heating and cooling system components may improve the efficiency of your system, resulting in a longer operating life, saving money on some energy and maintenance costs and improve the quality of the air in your home. You may consider having your air ducts cleaned simply because it seems logical that the air ducts will get dirty over time and should be cleaned occasionally. Over time pollutants and dust can build up and chock the air flow to your system and may cause undue wear on the air system. Professional duct cleaning can remove these hazards from you indoor air. However, it is important to note that not all duct-cleaning procedures are equal. We like to say, "beware of the bargain duct cleaner". Many duct cleaning companies use inferior equipment that simply brush the dirt around or pick up the dirt closest to the vents with a low power vacuum. We offer 2 systems to meet any budget. With Our premium system, we create a negative air vacuum with a rotobrush to get through and remove the years of built up of dust and dirt. We also take it a step further and send down each run a compressed air line to blow out any left over dust. This will clean all components of your heating and air condition system. The standard system we use a high power vacuum with a rotobrush that we will clear all vent lines and returns of the home. Our unit is outside of the home to prevent any dust from being blown back through your system and re-contaminating your home. Make sure the duct cleaner you choose uses top quality HEPA equipment and guarantees source removal in their process. In addition, a full home duct cleaning should take several hours and costs on average between $250-$1000.dollars, per heating and cooling system, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination.Benefits of Duct Cleaning back to top
