Every time you turn on the heater or air conditioner, the dust, pollen, mold spores, bacteria and other indoor air pollutants trapped in the air duct are blown around your home. Dirty air ducts can give you even more to clean and increase your utility costs. In addition, the dust and other particles in the air can trigger allergies and exacerbate health issues such as asthma.
At ServiceMaster Restoration by Cross, we are equipped to clear out the full length of your air ducts and remove dust particles from your home. Our team thoroughly scrubs the full interior of the air ducts so they are free of dust and allergens, leaving you with clean, fresh, healthy air.
If you want to protect your health and enjoy fresh air inside your home again, contact us to clean out your air ducts today.
What to Expect from Your Air Duct Cleaning:
Our powerful vacuum system will first be connected to the air duct near the furnace. Commercial grade products and equipment will then be used to dislodge the contaminants and debris in the air ducts. The powerful vacuum will then pull the contaminants out of the ducts and through the filtration system, returning clean air back into the home. Once the system is cleaned, all access holes are resealed, returning the duct system to a like new, clean condition. Cleansing verification will be done immediately after the HVAC system cleaning process has been performed.
Pre-Cleaning Instructions:
- For safety, the technician should be shown where the fire extinguisher and first aid kit is located. It is best to provide them with any emergency contact information.
- cleaning can be noisy. It is best to do it when most family members are not present.
- Clear work areas. Ask your technician how much space is needed around each air vent register and how much space they will need around the furnace and air conditioner. It is best to have these areas cleared beforehand.
- Prior to cleaning, perform a walkthrough of your home to go over where protective coverings such as drop and corner guards will be placed. Also it is necessary to go over the HVAC, how it will be cleaned, and the accessibility of it.
Post-Cleaning Instructions:
Once the air ducts have been cleaned in your home, your technician will perform a walk through to ensure you are satisfied. You can immediately resume your normal daily routine.
