Duct Cleaning Does More Than Clear the Air
 
Dirty ducts circulate dirty air. They can also provide a breeding ground for a variety of microbial growth such as mold and bacteria, and can even shorten the life of your furnace and air conditioner. Having your ducts professionally cleaned can enhance air quality, eliminate built-up dirt and improve overall air circulation. Your service can also include sanitizing to minimize any microbial growth within your duct work.

Air Duct Sanitizing
Minimizes microbial growth such as mold and bacteria in your duct system, Air Duct Sanitizing is often used when people have allergies or are moving into a previously occupied home. It is also quite effective in eliminating odors from within the duct work.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Restricted dryer vents extend dryer run time requiring more energy (your dollars) and can be an extreme fire hazard. Many home fires each year are caused by clogged dryer vents. Studies show that an estimated 15, 500 fires, 10 deaths and 310 injuries annually are associated with the lint in clothes dryers.
Because of this concern, it is recommended your dryer vent be cleaned every year. Some are readily accessible and others have long duct runs where moisture condenses and lint collects to create restrictions. It is critical to keep the lint screen clean after every load of clothes and that only aluminum (hard) ducting is used to vent heat and moisture away from the dryer.
