What is Air Duct Cleaning?
|
|
|
Air Duct Cleaning is the process of cleaning the Ducts that provide fresh air that
is either heated or cooled through your HVAC system. It also includes the cleaning
of the return Air Ducts that provide the circulation in a home. The Air Duct systems
are the branches to the HVAC system in your home. Methods of cleaning these ducts
vary. ServiceMaster uses one of the most advanced Air Duct Cleaning Systems available
in the industry. This is a large 3 stage HEPA filtered dual motor and blower assembly
vacuum capable of moving 5000 CFM Free Air. This is assisted by with the “Viper
Clean Sweep System” including the “Whip and Blast” and / or “Rotary Brush Cable
System”. |

Why Clean Air Ducts in your home?
|
|
|
Indoor air quality is a concern to many home owners and renters. As air circulates
through the Air Ducts it pulls air through, heats or cools the air and pushes it
out through the fresh air vents. As this process is repeated, the dust and pollutants
in your home are circulated. Some of the dust is trapped in the filter, but as the
rest passes through, it settles inside the ducts. Over time as with any surface,
dust particles will attract other dust particles due to static and settle while
other particles will get re-blown around the home. If one sweeps their home and
can see dust, they will also observe dust in their vents. Clean Air Ducts will help
keep a home clean.
Some research also suggests that clean ducts will help improve the efficiency of
your HVAC system.
Excessive amounts of debris in the Air Duct System
If you experience a Fire, Smoke or in some cases Water Damage in your home, cleaning
your Air Ducts is an excellent idea and recommended. Odor causing particles adhere
to the Air Ducts and cause odors in a home.
Air Ducts can get insect infestation or rodents, etc., when not in use; therefore
they would need to be thoroughly cleaned.
Occasionally it is impractical or too costly to replace Air Ducts, so cleaning them
professionally can make a difference.
Visible and substantial mold growth in Air Ducts would require you get Air Ducts
professionally cleaned or replaced. |
