You probably have heard you should
get your air ducts cleaned so that your family can breathe cleaner air and your
HVAC can work more efficiently. But you might not know what an air duct
cleaning means or what we do once we get to your house. Well, we're glad you
asked.
1.
The first thing the
technician will do is to check your ducts. We have to know what's in there and
how best to get it out. This also allows us to find any cracks or leaks. So, we
may need to drill some holes in your ductwork and use a special camera. But
don't worry; we will fix everything up before we leave.
2.
Our trained
cleaners then get to work with special, powerful vacuums that can remove all
the loose dust, dirt and debris. We may also use a handheld vacuum for some
situations.
3.
Brushes are then
inserted into the ducts through the vents and intakes to knock free hard to get
particles. Again, don't worry, our cleaners know what they're doing and can
patch up anything knocked off by the scrubbing.
4.
Another vacuum
session then sucks up the extra debris so we can get everything out of the
pipes.
5.
Then, we go to
the source. We clean your heating and cooling units to make sure nothing more
will be sent into your ducts.
6.
Then, we seal
everything back up. We clean and replace your vent covers. We make sure you're
happy with the service and then we leave, so you and your family can get back
to life.
That's the basics. We may
need also to get into the crawl space or attic to get to tricky pipes and
vents. Only in extreme cases will we need to replace ductwork, insulation or
other parts of your HVAC system.
So, if your air seems stuffy
or you feel you need a cleaning, just give us a call.
