HVAC Unit Cleaning Services

The HVAC system is made up of a heating, ventilation and an air-conditioning unit; some also include an air filtration system. The HVAC system is used to provide substantial comfort in your home or property. It is recommended that the HVAC systems be cleaned every 3-5 years to help improve the performance of the system itself, also because a clean HVAC system uses less energy to function making it cost effective and it also improves the indoor air quality.

There are many reasons as to why you should clean your HVAC system, however you should only clean your ducts, if there is an animal infestation present, if there is visible mold, if there is a noticeable unpleasant odor in your home or if a family member has an unexplained allergy-related illness. Dirty HVAC systems harbor allergens and contaminants that can tamper with the health of the individuals living in your home.

Air Duct Cleaning Services 

Air duct cleaning is the process of removing contaminants from the pipes in your ductwork  making the air that's flowing inside of your home healthier to breathe. This is something that we recommend you should get done at least once every 3-5 years. Apart from the fact that the cleaning makes the air in your home gentle to breathe it also helps prevent future sinus and respiratory issues. Ducts are the pipelines used for the hot or cold air that’s coming from your HVAC system and flowing into your home. Signs stating you should have your air ducts cleaned are if you haven’t changed your air filter in months, if there are dust spots visible, and if the airflow isn’t consistent from room to room.

The cleaning process begins with a visual inspection so that the techs know exactly what they are going to face and the extent of the cleaning that needs to be done. Our technicians only clean the supply and return vents. They begin to clean the supply vents by creating negative pressure to pick up the lint, and then use a rotary brush that goes deep into the return vent to knock the particles off the surface. Once done they use the vacuum to pick up the debris that the brush broke apart.

 Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

The main purpose of getting dryer vents cleaned is to reduce the risk of fire hazards in the home and of course to maintain the efficiency of your dryer. They should be cleaned at least once a year depending on the size of your home and the dryer usage. A clogged or dirty dryer vent can be detected when the clothes take too long to dry, when there is lint or debris buildup outside of the dryer vent or when there is a smoky scent coming from it as a result of it overheating. These are signs that indicate it’s time for the dryer vents to be cleaned. The cleaning process begins the use of a snake-like brush that goes down the length of the exhaust taking apart the lint that's clogging the vent and then we  use a portable vacuum to pick up the lint that was broken apart.
