Air Duct Pollution Impact
Did you know that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, and sometimes 100 times as polluted as outdoor air? Home air conditioning and ventilation systems can be a place to collect a variety of unwanted pollutants such as dust, mold, fungi, and bacteria. Some of these pollutants can cause allergies if the air is constantly circulating in the system.
Professional duct cleaning in Austin
The air you breathe inside has to be filtered through your ductwork, and if your ducts aren’t thoroughly cleaned, neither is your air. Every time the heating and cooling systems are turned on, they circulate dust, dust mites, animal dander, pollen, and bacteria in the air inside. We offer air quality testing and duct cleaning to determine what’s in your air and how best to clean it.
Dryer vent cleaning
Your dryer vent cleaning does more than simply suck in warm air to dry your clothes.
While detergents and fabric softeners can clean your clothes, they also contain chemicals that are not safe for human breathing. Your machine’s dryer vents help release chemical vapors from the dryer into your home. However, when the vents are clogged or too clogged, it can’t handle the polluted air properly and may release it back into your home. Plus, these clogs are made from lint, dust, and fabric from your clothing—all very dry materials. Combined with the heat of the dryer, this debris can pose a serious fire hazard.Dryer vent cleaning is the only way to keep your clothes, air and dryer clean and free from airborne allergens and dust. Plus, clean dryer vents allow your dryer to run more efficiently, saving power in the long run and drying your clothes faster.
When you need to clean ducts and ventilation
Air quality testing is the easiest way to determine what’s in the air you breathe. Our company provides fast, affordable air tests to determine the air quality in your home or business.Depending on the size of the building, it is advisable to clean the drains every 3-5 years. However, breathing air is important, so it is best to pay attention to signs that may need to be cleaned immediately.If you start noticing, give us a call:
Mold. Any mold in your home, especially near your air conditioner, means you have mold in the air. Even if you manage to remove visible mold or mildew from your home, there’s a good chance that more will grow in the ducts. If left alone, it will continue to grow and it will not be possible to completely clean it out of your home.
· Visible dust. Every building gets a little dust, but if you still find dust when you sweep and clean it could be a problem. This is especially a problem in recently renovated new buildings or homes, as all kinds of dust and dirt can be drawn into your ventilation system.
Airflow is inconsistent. Each vent should provide roughly the same airflow. If you’re noticing in particular that a room never seems to cool or heat up, it could be a blocked vent or a blockage in the duct itself.
Noise. If you’ve lived or worked in a building for a while, you’re probably familiar with most of the normal sounds that various things make. If your vents are starting to make strange or new noises, it may be due to something in the vents.
· Foul smell. There are many potential sources of bad odors or odors, but none of them are very good. If your air often smells damp or feels too humid, it may be caused by something in the vents. Sewage smell can be a sign of a burst duct or other plumbing problem, but if you smell sulfur or gas, call immediately for gas leak testing.
How to Clean HVAC Ducts
In theory, cleaning HVAC ducts is a fairly straightforward process. All you need to do is remove the duct and remove any residue that may be in it. You may need a vacuum cleaner or other similar tools, but the actual cleaning part is fairly straightforward. The problem is that the reality of duct cleaning is different from the theory of duct cleaning. Disconnecting ducts is serious work, not to mention a lot of work. Getting residue out of these ducts is often more difficult than it looks. Then you have to reassemble the ducts. Make one mistake and you can seriously impair the functionality of your HVAC system. Therefore, professional cleaning is recommended rather than cleaning your own HVAC ducts. Professionals have all the knowledge, tools and resources needed to facilitate projects.
