Why should I have my air ducts and dryer vents cleaned?

  • Dirty air ducts are ongoing sources of dust mites, mold spores and mildew and can become a haven for pet dander, pet hair, construction debris and allergens.  These frequently trigger unpleasant reactions in people who have to breathe this polluted air.  It can result in respiratory infections, asthma attacks and other side effects.
  • Mold, viruses, bacteria, fungus, pollen, spores and dust mites cannot be effectively eliminated by the most well known brand of single room portable air cleaners or high efficiency filters. Most of these contaminants will pass through even a high efficiency filter as the greater majority of infectious contaminants are smaller than .3 microns (1/300th the diameter of a single strand of human hair), which is beyond the capability of a high efficiency filter.
  • Approximately 40,000 dust mites and their feces, the most common and misunderstood cause of allergies, can live in one ounce of dust.
  • Thorough air duct cleaning will reduce the amount of dust and contaminants that are constantly circulated.
  • Duct cleaning can improve the fuel efficiency of furnaces and cooling units and mean a longer life for expensive heating and cooling devices.
  • In homes and offices with smokers, the smoke residue builds up in the ducts and vents.  This residue continues to circulate the carcinogens through the air until the duct work is cleaned thoroughly.
  • Duct cleaning is recommended in new homes to remove the construction debris.
  • Clean air helps protect the wellness of your family and staff and can result in higher productivity and higher attendance at work and school.
  • It is important to have duct work cleaned every two to three years.
  • The Consumer Protection agency estimates 15,000 fires start annually in clothes dryers and their vents.  It is recommended that dryer vents be cleaned annually.
  • A clean dryer vent increases the life span of your appliance as well as reducing fuel costs and drying time.
  • Chimneys and fireplaces are the leading source of residential fires. We do thorough inspections and cleaning.  Chimneys should be cleaned every thirty-five fires or every cord of wood, which ever comes first.
