Duct Cleaning

Are you sneezing or coughing more this season? Invest in your family's health with a duct cleaning! Also, by adding energy efficient accessories such as a humidifier, electronic air cleaner, or programmable thermostat, you can save money on your energy bill every month. Keep your hard-earned money where it belongs - in your pocket!

How much time do you spend indoors? According to the American Lung Association, most people spend 60% to 90% of their time indoors. Think about how much time your family spends indoors, especially in the winter. Does anyone in your family have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems? Do you have pets? Do you notice dust on your furniture shortly after cleaning?

Dust, dirt, pollen, animal dander, and
other airborne contaminants are pulled into
your duct system every time the furnace or air conditioner runs and build up inside of the ductwork
over time. These contaminants can help make your
duct system an ideal breeding ground for mold
spores, bacteria, fungus, mildew, and
other microbes.


Each time the furnace or air conditioner is turned on, contaminants are re-circulated throughout your home and affect the health and comfort of your family. Family members who suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory ailments as well as children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to the effects of indoor air pollutants.


The removal of contaminants from the
entire HVAC system is recognized by industry
experts as the most effective way to eliminate
air duct pollutants. We use the "source removal"
method of duct cleaning; we get everything
possible and then sanitize the ductwork.


In addition to the obvious health benefits, duct cleaning can help you maintain a cleaner home. It also helps to restore HVAC system capacity and lessen running time, resulting in lower heating and cooling bills.

The quality of the air that we breathe indoors has become an increasingly important environmental concern. Following are facts that have been determined by recognized authorities in the fields of health and air quality.

• FACT: 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air (American College of Allergists).

• FACT: More than fifty million Americans suffer from allergies.

• FACT: Ten to twelve million Americans suffer from asthma (American College of Allergists).

• FACT: Most commercially available, fiberglass furnace filters are less than 7% efficient (ASHRAE).

How will a humidifier improve my comfort?

A humidifier adds moisture to the air, therefore making the air feel warmer. Dry, indoor air is often the culprit for such common problems as itchy or cracked skin, eye irritation, and dry or stuffy nasal passages. Dry air can also damage your home furnishings due to dryness, cracking, and separating.

Adding moisture to the air inside your home improves the quality of the air that you breathe. A humidifier enhances your ability to control your comfort system's efficiency and effectiveness. Without proper humidity levels, the temperature in your home feels colder when the moisture from indoor air evaporates. In the winter, that means you will likely turn up the thermostat to feel comfortable. As a result, your system will use extra energy. By putting moisture back into the air with a humidifier, it allows you to stay comfortable at a lower temperature. You'll conserve energy and increase efficiency!

How will an electronic air cleaner improve my comfort?

Electronic air cleaners collect dust, pollen, bacteria, and other contaminants in your home. Technically speaking, an air cleaner's performance is measured in terms of efficiency. For example, a human hair is 100 microns in diameter. We have 94%-efficient electronic air cleaners that collect contaminants that are as small as 0.35 microns. It can even remove "virus-sized" particles, which are 0.01 microns. Now that's tiny! It purifies the air so you can breathe easier with healthy, fresh air.

How will a programmable thermostat improve my comfort?

A programmable thermostat will allow you to turn down the temperature automatically, according to a schedule that you set. When you're away at work or sleeping, you can turn down the temperature and save money on your energy bills. You can save 5% to 10% on your energy bills by utilizing a programmable thermostat.

What is an Energy Consultation?

An Energy Consultation is a personal assessment of your home's energy efficiency. We'll help identify leaks and wasted energy areas of your home and help provide solutions. We'll review the importance of insulation values and how adding insulation to your attic or water pipes could result in substantial savings. We'll talk about your comfort system's efficiency and how we can help improve it. It could be as simple as letting the sun shine in! We'll explain the benefits of accessories like a humidifier, an electronic air cleaner, or a programmable thermostat and how they can help you. It's all about improving your comfort and keeping your money where it belongs.
