Indoor Air Quality
What’s in the air you are breathing? When we are outside it is difficult to control what we breathe but in many cases the air in our homes is much worse. The good news is indoor air pollution is one risk that you can do something about.
• The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five health risks.
• 97% of homes have indoor air quality issues.*
• Dirty coils and ducts use as much as 30% more energy than clean ones.**

The Air Duct Cleaning Process – Take a Breath of Fresh Air
Our air duct cleaning process is state-of-the-art with successful results — customer after customer. We deploy advanced air duct cleaning technology with the only self-contained method that simultaneously brushes and vacuums the debris. Dirt is brushed loose inside the air duct and immediately swept up by powerful dual vacuums that are fitted with HEPA filters to make sure the air is free of pollen, animal dander, dustmites and other harmful bacteria.

Customers who should have their ducts cleaned
- Customers with allergies. It really helped my Daughter & I with our allergies!
- Customers who have problems with excessive dust on furniture. We really noticed less dusting was required for months after we cleaned our ducts.
- Customers whose vents have dust around the corners.
- Customers whose vents have obvious debris inside.
- People with pets may have their ducts cleaned more often.
- Remodel projects: During a remodel, even a small project, dust, sawdust, shavings, etc are all sucked into the homes heating system, or dropped into the floor vents. It is highly recommended that you have your ducts cleaned at the end of a project. Keep the construction debris out of the heating equipment and the breathable air in the home.
- New Construction. During the building of the home, the heat system is exposed to all types of contaminants. Often the heat system is used to dry out the sheetrock mud, speeding up the process for the painters, and sucking all the sheetrock debris thru the heating system.
- New homeowners or tenants. You never know what pets, habits, allergens, etc the previous owner/tenant may have introduced to the heating system. Small kids drop food down floor vents, then you breathe the mold spores. It is very common for customers to have their ducts cleaned before moving in to a new home.
- Customers who have a new furnace installed, but are reusing their existing duct work. It’s a shame to run a brand new furnace and suck all the old nasties into it! Many heating companies sub us for this work.
Dryer Lint Buildup is Actually a Pretty Big Deal
A little searching in any major search engine should bring up all kinds of articles regarding fires caused by Dryer Lint buildup. Dryer vents should be cleaned at LEAST annually. There is a very obvious fire hazard, and of course your clothes won’t get dry as quickly with a clogged duct and your dryer will wear out prematurely. People often don’t realize their dryer ducts need cleaning until they are completely clogged or their clothes wont ever dry. The lint buildup is gradual and may not always be noticed. Almost always customers comment on how much faster their clothes dry when we are done providing this service. We clean the dryer vent from both sides, which is somewhat rare. Many companies do a mediocre job and only clean the duct from the outside, never entering the home. This always leaves at least some lint buildup at the dryer. We completely disconnect the dryer, vacuum the back of the dryer and all around the floor. Cleaning and reducing fire hazard. Of course we catch the lint trap too, leaving the customer with a “Fresh Start”.
Most apartment complexes have their dryer vents cleaned annually. Because dryer vent cleaning reduces fire hazard, in some cases its needed to meet insurance requirements for these and other facilities.
Many of our competitors are also carpet cleaners. Their carpet cleaning vacuums can be modified to perform duct cleaning. However, we believe we are a much better choice for our customers. Most carpet cleaners don’t have much knowledge of duct work. If our Duct Cleaning crews find a problem with the duct work, they can fix small problems themselves or schedule one of our qualified techs to come out.
Additionally, We offer an antibacterial air fogger. Most of our competitors push this heavily and use a lemon scent so the customer “Can tell something was done…”. Ours is unscented and environmentally friendly (a $45 service). A small 110 volt machine pressurizes the pre-mixed solution into a fine mist, then the furnaces blower fan pulls the mist thru the duct work. Similar to sanitizing a counter-top. This antibacterial fogger is recommended for people with allergies, pets or any situation in which their duct work might have mold or bacteria.
