The EPA reports that indoor air quality has been found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air and yet most people spend 90% of their time indoors. Considering that we spend so much time indoors, doesn’t it make perfect sense to clean the source of our indoor air quality problems?..Our Air Ducts.
Air Duct Cleaning Improves the Quality of Your Indoor Air.
If your home is over ten years old it would probably be beneficial to have your air ducts cleaned.
If you or other members of your family have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems, it would definitely be beneficial to have your ducts cleaned.
If you move into a new home, duct cleaning will remove any dust, debris and odors from smoking left by the former owners or from construction.
Doing major remodeling in your existing home can cause dust to build up in ductwork. Air duct cleaning can remove this dust.
Air duct cleaning can make your heating and air conditioning system run more efficiently by removing dust in the blower, coils, and ductwork which hinders airflow.
If you have “dust trails” or discoloring coming out of your air duct registers then duct cleaning can remove this problem.
How We Clean Your Air Ducts
-
- Our company uses one of the most advanced duct cleaning systems available. We have a trailer full of the latest equipment to thoroughly clean your air ducts.
-
- First we set up one of our high powered vacuums. One is gas powered and sits outside. The other is electric with a HEPA filtration system that can be brought inside.
-
- A vacuum hose is run to the furnace and hooked into the ductwork. When the vacuum is turned on, negative pressure is created in the air ducts.
-
- Air powered whips are fed down each register, beating around and dislodging the dust. Our equipment is able to clean very long runs of ductwork.
-
- Cold air returns are also cleaned out. Our agitating tools whip around getting into corners of rectangular ducts unlike round brushes which can miss dust in corners.
-
- The main trunk line and plenum are cleaned next. Our specialized equipment can clean all types of ducts including metal, wood, fiberglass, and plastic flex duct without causing any damage to them.
-
- We also clean out the air coil and furnace blower compartment as shown here.
-
- Since the air duct system is under negative pressure, the dust is sucked outside into a bag by the high powered vacuum and your house stays clean.
-
- Main trunk line in duct system after air duct cleaning.

- Main trunk line in duct system before air duct cleaning.

-
- If your home is 50 years or older the air ducts may contain debris like this pet hair and dust taken out of a home in Elkhart.
-
- We can apply Duct Sanitizers to your air ducts after cleaning. We use “EviroCon” and “Oxine”, which are EPA listed for deodorizing and killing mold and mildew; but are mild and safe for air ducts.
