Feeling like dirty air or dust is coming out of your vents? Sounds like it is time for you to get your ducts cleaned! The average 1500 square foot home generates 40 pounds of dust per year according to Philip Tierno, a microbiologist and pathologist at the New York University School of Medicine. This dust can consist of bacteria, mold, pollen, dust mites, pet hair, and even toxic materials such as chromium, mercury, and pesticides. These pollutants are picked up and circulated into the air you breathe. Those are not things you want to breathe in everyday! We recommend getting your ducts cleaned every 10 years or following any home renovation project.
We use the Nikro PDU 4000 duct cleaning vacuum, which has HEPA filtration levels and can pull 5,000 CFM of air. We will connect the vacuum to the trunklines, block all the supply and return vents in your home, and then turn the vacuum on. Following that, our duct cleaning technician will go around to all your vents with an air compressor and hand tools to remove the dirt, pollen, bacteria, and other icky stuff from your ducts. This process of pushing and pulling at the same time does a very thorough job and leaves your duct system spotless and providing cleaner air.
