Knowledge about cleaning your air duct in early stages is always
necessary. There are many reasons that you should have your air ducts cleaned,
including several health benefits and long-lasting ventilation equipment and
result in saving more energy which improves the air quality in your home and
business as well.
What you need to be aware of is choosing the right air duct
cleaning professional. As per Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), indoor air
can be more 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. commercial duct cleaning companies
perform cleaning which helps in eradicating bacteria, fungus, mold spores, pet
dander and pollen that get trapped in air ducts. If you are allergic and have
asthma symptoms, clean air makes a big difference in the quality of life and
save your frequent hospital visit.
How are air ducts cleaned?
Professionals use a specialized vacuum cleaner in order to clean
an air duct system. It creates a negative pressure inside air duct which cleans
the debris and contaminants which are stuck inside for quite a while. Before
starting the process of cleaning, professional applies anti-microbial chemical
sanitizers in the interior of ducts which kills the bacteria and give way for
the air to pass. Before, you plan to call a professional, verify if all their
products and equipment are approved by EPA. Atomizer used these days creates
fog and mist that spreads the sanitizer through the air ducts and ventilation.
Types of Vacuum used by Professionals?
When an air duct cleaning professional shows up at your home or
at a commercial building, he'll most likely use one of the two popular types of
vacuum collection system:
1. Truck- mounted collection system
2. Portable unit.
Truck/trailer mounted equipment is considered very powerful
equipment. The downfall is that it can't be brought directly into a facility,
limiting its access to all of the ventilation system. Vacuum system should be
attached safely to a collection device so once suction is started all the
debris is collected safely. The air duct cleaning services range in cost from
$450 to $1000 per heating and cooling, depending on
1. Additional Services offered
2. Size of the system
3. System convenience
4. Geographical Location
5. Level of contamination
