There are quite a few different signs to let you know that it may be time to get your air ducts cleaned. If your home seems to have more dust than usual, especially on your vents, that is a good visual sign that it is time to call an air duct cleaning professional. If you begin having breathing issues, or if you are having allergy issues, that may be a sign that you need your ducts cleaned to provide a better breathing environment for you and your family. If you notice a foul or musty smell, especially while your AC or heater or running, that is also a good indication that you need your air ducts serviced. One more sign you may notice is your home not cooling or heating like it should while your AC or heater are running.

Our air duct techs lay down a plastic tarp around the service area as a precaution, but the debris is vacuumed and caught in a HEPA bag. If for some reason any debris drops out of the vent we will be caught by tarp and our techs will vacuum it up. Our techs will make sure that they leave your home as clean, or cleaner, than it was when they arrived.

When choosing an air duct cleaning company, there are a few things you should look for, including: - Experience: Make sure the company has experience cleaning ducts. - Equipment: The company should use high-quality equipment to clean your ducts. - Warranty: The company should offer a warranty on their work.

The frequency of air duct cleaning depends on a number of factors, including the age and condition of your ductwork, the type of heating and cooling system you have, and the presence of any allergies or respiratory problems in your home. In general, EPA and most experts recommend having your ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years.

There are a few risks associated with air duct cleaning, including: - Dust and debris being released into the air - Allergic reactions - Mold growth However, these risks are rare, especially if the air duct cleaning is done properly by a qualified company, like ours. For any concerns about allergies, we also offer the best purification system on the market.

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing dust, dirt, debris, and other contaminants from your home’s air ducts. This can help improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Moreover, duct cleaning also saves on wear and tear on HVAC unit, that in turn saves money as well.

Not only is it required for fire prevention, it is also cost effective. Having your dryer vent serviced regularly will allow your dryer to work more efficiently, lowering your electric bill. Regularly scheduled service also prolongs the life of your dryer unit.

It is strongly recommended by the United States Fire Administration that you have your dryer vents serviced at least once a year. If you have a large household, or do a lot of laundry on a regular basis, you should consider having your dryer vent serviced by a professional every 6 – 8 months.

Here are the signs that you need your dryer vent cleaned: 1- WET CLOTHING Finding your clothes wet after a 45-minute dryer cycle is a sign your dryer vent is obstructed. The hot, wet air escaping the dryer has nowhere to go, so it lingers within your clothing. You could run your dryer longer, but you increase the risk of starting a fire and raising your energy bill. 2- HOT CLOTHING Grabbing your clothes from the dryer always feels good because they are hot. Typically, your clothes will be warmer than room temperature, but they shouldn’t be hot to the touch. The air is unable to exhaust out of the dryer and builds up within the machine. Clothing or dryers too hot to touch indicate the need for a dryer vent cleaning. 3- SMOKE SMELL Lint is extremely flammable. The smell of smoke from your dryer should prompt you to shut it off immediately and call the fire department. Even though you don’t see flames, you could be smelling the smoke of a small fire starting in your dryer vent.

The cost of dryer vent cleaning varies depending on the quantity of vents, the type of vent you have, and the method of cleaning used. Generally the cost is $125 per vent, but we offer deals and packages that could qualify you for a FREE dyer vent cleaning. We offer free phone quotations and stand by what was discussed.

One dryer vent tech will go up to the roof of your home and use a specialized tool to push the debris down the line into the laundry room, where a second tech will clean up all the debris and vacuum the area. Our techs will make sure that they leave your home as clean, or cleaner, than it was when they arrived.

Along with lint collecting in the dryer vent line, there could be other objects clogging your dryer vent line such as bird or rodent nests, which require specialized equipment and expertise to extract from the line in a manner that does not damage your dryer vent line. It is also a two man job, requiring one tech to go on the roof of your home. For your safety, it is best to leave that task to the professionals.

Depending on the size of the dryer vent line and the location within the home, it takes on average 20 – 30 minutes from start to finish.

Indoor air is vented inside from the outdoors. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the outdoors air is clean, nor does it mean once it’s in the house that it remains clean, even if it begins clean. The outside air can contain many pollutants that are now trapped inside your home and can make their way to you. On the other hand, if the outdoor air is clean, it can still become contaminated once inside. Indoor air can be affected by many factors, especially anything that releases particles or gas, or causes combustion. There are many sources falling under these categories, such as personal-care and cleaning products, building materials, air fresheners, furnishings, carpets, tobacco, fuel products (kerosene, gas, oil, coal, wood), and the list goes on. While one source alone may not be at a danger level, the combination of all sources in your home can contribute to health issues. Many times homeowners assume the people in their homes are suffering from allergies, colds, or the flu, but these symptoms could actually be an alert that the home has poor indoor air quality. Other signs of poor indoor air quality are fatigue, coughing, sneezing, headaches, sore throats, dizziness, nose bleeds, and congestion. Unchecked, poor indoor air quality can trigger or cause the development of more serious, and often, chronic illnesses, or even life-threatening conditions like cancer.

We carry an in-duct model and a portable plug-and-play model. Whether you go with the in-duct or portable unit, they are both driven by the same ActivePure Technology, with the only difference being that one is installed in your in-duct unit with nothing else to do, and the portable does require a very simple and easy cleaning about once a month. The portable gives you more flexibility and control of the activated oxygen portion of the system which you may want so that you can turn it up to remove odors when you are away or after cooking items like fish or bacon. Besides that, they are both excellent for allergies, virus protection, etc.

ActivePure® Technology is derived from NASA Technology as used on the International Space Station. It is the only Certified Space Technology in the world in its class. ActivePure® Technology utilizes a proprietary hydrophilic photo catalytic coating, consisting of non-nano titanium dioxide with a proprietary combination of additional transition elements to enhance efficiency. Activated by a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light, oxygen and humidity are extracted from the air to create a host of powerful oxidizers that target air and surface pollution. These oxidizers are extremely effective at destroying bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other environmental contaminants. ActivePure Technology does not create harmful chemicals but instead uses oxidizers found naturally occurring in the environment. These oxidizers are not harmful to humans, pets or plants and are complete safe for indoor use.

Units with ActivePure Technology pull free oxygen and water molecules in the air through ActivePure’s patented honeycomb matrix. The technology creates powerful oxidizers, known as ActivePure Molecules, that are then released back into the room, where they seek and destroy DNA and RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus), Swine Flu (H1N1), Avian Bird Flu (H5N8), Hepatitis A (HAV) and MS2 bacteriophage, regardless of their size, on surfaces and in the air. ActivePure® technology utilizes shortwave UV light to illuminate a “target” surface. The target is a honeycomb matrix treated with a proprietary photocatalytic coating consisting of Titanium Dioxide and a few transition metals to enhance the overall catalytic effect

Both our in-duct and portable units cover 2000 sqft and are considered to be "whole home" units. Depending on the square footage of the home, or business, and the quantity of HVAC systems, you will usually need only one, maybe two units to cover the entire indoor space. If the business has a lot of foot traffic, causing the doors to frequently open and close, more units may need to be installed, as the constant introduction of particles and pollutants requires more units to combat those conditions. If the home or business has ceilings that are higher than 10 ft. throughout, it may also require additional units to be installed. Every situation is unique and may require a walk-through by one of our indoor air quality specialist to assess the needs of your home or business.

ActivePure® is an exclusive environmental technology that can solve many everyday indoor air and surface contamination problems. Traditional passive technologies, such as HEPA, use filtration or electrostatic systems, which remove contaminants only if and when they travel through the purification unit. These traditional filtration systems can help reduce air pollution to a degree, but they do not reduce surface contamination at all and do not adequately reduce airborne contaminants. Our proprietary ActivePure® Technology actively targets contaminants in the air and on surfaces, eliminating them on contact.

During service visits, we always start by inspecting your HVAC equipment to ensure everything is in good condition. Next, we use safe and gentle methods to remove any built-up dirt from your HVAC coils without risking any damage. We use state of the art pressure washing equipment that allows for adjustable use. All condenser coils are different, some will require stronger pressures to remove build up and others will require greater senses of delicacy. Water is pulled from buckets into the pressure washer, where it is then converted to the desired pressure and released via the hand apparatus. Finally, we test your system to ensure it’s performing up to its full potential.

A couple things that will be noticeable when the evaporator coil is dirty is that your AC won’t produce air that’s as cold as it should be and your AC will run noticeably longer. You may also notice a build up of dirt when you inspect your unit, so regular cleaning of your AC system's coils is imperative.

On average it takes approximately 1 – 3 hours to have your HVAC coils cleaned depending on whether it requires a compressed air touch-up or a full power washing.

Having your HVAC coils professionally cleaned and maintained will not only save you money, but will keep your system running longer and help keep everyone in your home safe, healthy and more productive.

In most cases, your AC coils should be cleaned once a year unless you are located in an abnormally windy/dusty/dirty area where it would come into contact with more debris than typical. If you use your AC unit heavily, it may also need to be cleaned more frequently.

Some of the benefits of HVAC coil cleaning are: - Greater cooling power and more consistent comfort - Optimal efficiency and lower energy costs - Less strain on your system and improved reliability
