Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning

Professional Air Duct Cleaning

There are many reasons why air duct cleaning is necessary:

• Health issues brought on by sensitivity to allergens. Mold, dander, dust, bacteria, and other allergens and pollutants can be found in ductwork.
• Improved performance from your air handler. Vents and filters that are clogged or extremely dirty can put undue strain on the air conditioning system. You may have to pay more each month for your electricity due to this added strain.
• Extended life of the air conditioner. Long-term exposure to extremely dirty units can strain the equipment and, in the worst case, cause malfunctions.

Here are some of the steps in our process:

• Vent and return cover removal and cleaning
• Deep cleaning of the ductwork and air return space
• Thorough cleaning of all duct vents and ductwork, including flexible and hard ducting
• Using our essential oil-based (thyme) formula, which has no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and will lessen bacteria and allergens, thoroughly clean the unit and its ductwork.

Cleaning of Dryer Vents

If you start to observe any of the following, you might need dryer vent cleaning:

• It’s taking longer for clothes to dry.
• It appears that the dryer is overheating.
• There is no air coming from the vent outside the house, or there is very little air.
• Message errors on your dryer

Drier vents that are plugged in or almost plugged are a major source of house fires! Dryer vents that are only partially clogged are fire hazards that we ROUTINELY clean.

Without the proper tools, cleaning a dryer vent can lead to additional clogging from incomplete lint removal and “packing down” of the vent, as well as damage to your dryer and venting.

A dryer vent fire can be caused by a number of factors. Only a portion of the lint is collected by lint filters during the drying process; the remainder is intended to exit the dryer vent and reach the outside of the house. Lint can become trapped close to the heating element and catch fire if the line becomes clogged. Another reason might be that the dryer is trying to force air out of a clogged vent by overworking and overheating as a result. Because lint is so easily ignited, a small fire can spread quickly to become a large home fire. A dryer vent’s condensation can produce packed lint, which can catch fire when the aluminum exhaust tubing heats up! Excessive length or number of turns on dryer vents can also impede airflow. Additionally, this restriction may cause a dryer to overheat and catch fire. Contact us today to book your appointment.
