"Residential Air Duct Cleaning"
No filter, not even the expensive electrostatic kind, is 100% effective at filtering out
contaminants from your duct system. What's more, harmful contaminants also get into your ducts from other places aside from where your filter is located. As you can see in the diagram below, once air goes through your filter it's pulled through the machinery that makes up your furnace or air conditioner. As a result, every time your system turns on, it's moving parts and vibration shake up the dust that typically settles in your ducts---and the air that just went through your filter now blows that dust into your home. In addition, the process of heating or cooling your home creates the kind of temperature and humidity changes in your ducts that enable the growth of unhealthy mold, fungus and bacteria. Although a higher efficiency filter is not effective when your supply ductwork is already contaminated, it is beneficial in keeping the system clean once an air duct cleaning has been done.

(Airborne contaminants in the home are a major cause of these illnesses.) Are there soiled or discolored areas around your vent covers? Any unusual odors when the furnace or air conditioning is operating? Have you experienced a recent fire, water loss or flooding? How about recent remodeling or construction?

Step#4: Compressed air blasts dirt away to the vacuum.
Step#5: A video inspection tool is ran through the ductwork to ensure that nothing has been missed and to ensure you that the job has been completed.
Step#6: All heat registers and cold air return grilles are thoroughly cleaned and reinstalled.
Step#7: If you have central air conditioning as part of your system we also clean both the condensor coil and the evaporative coil to improve the efficiency of your cooling.
