Residential air duct cleaning

Residential duct cleaning is also important for your home and family to avoid health problems, causing or aggravating symptoms for family members with respiratory conditions, autoimmune disorders, environmental allergies and more. Dust, dirt, mold and bacteria can negatively affect indoor air quality.

Cleaning your air ducts will help increase the efficiency of your home’s HVAC system. When your air ducts are clean and the air is flowing smoothly, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, which saves you money on energy bills. HVAC duct cleaning is an essential part of routine HVAC system maintenance that should be checked and cleaned regularly.

Let us to tell you about procedure of a regular residential HVAC system cleaning. Our company use an electric negative air machine as well as gasoline powered truck mounted equipment. Most of the air ducts are located in the basement and easy to access to, so we usually cover furniture and electronics in the basement in order to protect them. Before we begin ventilation cleaning, our professionals will properly seal your vents and returns and place your air conditioner ducts under negative pressure to maximize airflow. It is recommended by NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) that a certified specialist performs an annual inspection and cleaning if needed. We are using electric negative air machine with HEPA filtration in order to filtrate all debris and clean air ducts. In order to connect the negative air machine will make approximate 10 inch diameter cut into the main line. Then we will physically separate the supply and return systems and protect the actual air handling unit from cross contaminations. Inflatable bags or foam blocks might be used. However, a furnace filter placed in a plastic bag works just as well. While the ductwork is under negative pressure we remove the vent covers and clean each individual vent with the soft brush on a flexible shaft. Then the vent covers are vacuumed and placed back into position. Some air deflectors and return grilles are painted over and must be gently taken out with a razor blade.

In order to protect your system from microbial growth we recommend routine chemical treatment after every cleaning procedure. We use only EPA registered chemicals.
