WHO BENEFITS FROM AIR DUCT CLEANING

Indoor air pollution is an issue which can be resolved in a short time-frame, provided it has been detected first. For an indoor air test and inspection you can turn to our Indoor Air Test page for more information on the topic of pure interior air importance for both businesses and residences alike.

The high percentage of carpeting on most floor surfaces is the main reason for a quick air vent clogging and the reduction of air quality and HVAC efficiency. This accumulation of dust, fibers and lint introduces an appropriate environment for mites, bacteria and mold growth which get re-introduced into the air by the disturbance of passing gasses.

As a part of our Better Health for San Fran Initiative, we aim to bring awareness about the dangers of filthy HVAC systems and ventilation. Dust being the main culprit for most allergies and skin irritation, our service aims to fully remove it from the air flow of your property, resulting in the increase of air circulation and the efficiency of your heating or cooling system.

HOW IS AIR DUCT CLEANING PERFORMED

Detection and diagnostics are the first step towards a healthier environment, so before we start, it’s important to get an idea about the contents of the air – as a part of our full service coverage, we perform an air quality test to see if there is any fungal growth in the vents.

The results of the test are sent to a laboratory and once the report comes in we provide several solutions to any problems that might have arisen.

On the basis of our analysis we will approach the issues at hand with an appropriate solution, whether that would be full dust removal or a whole-system wipe down.

A thing of high importance is to maintain high air quality.

The first thing we do is seal all vents in order to perform safe air duct cleaning without introducing any contaminants into the ambient environment.

DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE SYSTEM WE…

will create two access panels in order to reach and remove all dust. Proper cleaning hinges on the diligence of this process. How we continue depends entirely on the test of the Indoor Air Quality Test.

If there are toxic fumes and fungal growths, mold or mildew particles found into the air, we seal the house on a room by room basis as to contain the contamination.

When fungal spores are found into the air stream, it’s vital to take precaution and not disturb the fungus as to not introduce it into the current air stream of the house. A specialized, mechanized steam cleaner is used to eradicate any potential mycotoxins.

The high humidity in the Bay Area, it’s highly probable that there is an issue with the air duct system on your property.

LOWER YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL WITH AIR DUCT CLEANING

While breathing in dust is quite an unpleasant experience, getting an increasing higher electricity bill can be more than just unpleasant.
