A Resolution To Indoor Air Pollution
If anyone in your home suffers from allergies, and you’ve already tried just about everything to bring relief, you may want to consider professional air duct cleaning next. Or if you’d just like to create overall better air quality for your family—and perhaps help diminish some of the time you spend dusting your home—you may look to air duct cleaning for help. A professional cleaning may also serve to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, especially if the fans, cooling coils, and heat exchangers are cleaned during the service.
What Does An Air Duct Cleaning Entail?
When one of Above & Beyond’s certified air duct technicians cleans your air ducts, he or she will thoroughly clean each of the following components:
- Supply and return air ducts
- Grilles and diffusers
- Heat exchangers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Condensate drain pans
- Fan motor and fan housing
- Air handling unit housing
We begin the cleaning process by using special tools to dislodge all the dirt and debris inside your ducts, and we then use high-powered vacuums to remove as much as we can. Depending on our findings, we may recommend the application of a chemical biocide to control mold growth and prevent the release of dirt particles from your ducts.
Should I Have My Air Ducts Professionally Cleaned?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been reluctant to advise all homeowners to have their air ducts cleaned, since “knowledge about air duct cleaning is in its early stages.” It does, however, recommend that you have the air ducts cleaned in your home “as needed,” especially if any of the following apply to you:
- You’re seeing particles being released into your home from your supply registers.
- You have substantial mold growth inside your ducts or in or on any other components of your heating and cooling system.
- Your ducts are infested with rodents or insects.
- Your ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris.
If any of the above does describe your situation, then you are also probably facing a problem that’s bigger than any one air duct cleaning can fix. To prevent the same problem from reoccurring, you will need to address what’s causing the mold and excessive dust accumulation. Our team at Above & Beyond will be able to help you pinpoint the problem and suggest a lasting resolution.
