A healthy living environment starts with clean air. If the air coming out of your vents smells musty, or your air vents look dirty, it’s probably time for an HVAC and air duct cleaning from SERVPRO®.
Each time your HVAC system circulates, your air ducts collect dust, dirt, and other airborne particulates that were missed by the air filter. In just one year, a typical home can collect more than 40 pounds of dirt, dust, and particles. Everyday housecleaning can get most of it, but it takes a professional cleaning service like SERVPRO to clean air ducts effectively.
Schedule a routine air duct cleaning if:
You have pets living in your home.
You have allergies or asthma.
You smoke.
Your home has suffered fire or smoke damage.
Your home has been renovated or is being remodeled.
Benefits of clean air ducts:
Improved indoor air quality (reduced bacteria, allergens, pet dander, etc.).
Increased energy efficiency (clogged vents make your HVAC system work harder).
Longer life for your HVAC system.
SERVPRO of North Vista / San Marcos’s uniquely trained technicians follow industry standards for air duct cleaning services as defined by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA).
We use specialized equipment and proprietary products to clean and sanitize the mechanical components of your HVAC duct and air duct system while controlling the airflow in the healthiest way possible during the duct cleaning process.
Things You Should Know about HVAC & Air Duct Cleaning
First, system access to the duct interiors should be made through existing openings. This could be via:
Return grills.
Duct end caps.
Existing service openings.
Your SERVPRO technician will often begin by breaking contaminants loose from your system, either by hand or using a vacuum, to agitate dirt and dust. This is a basic, but important step in the HVAC cleaning process.
SERVPRO uses a variety of tools and equipment. It might be mounted on a truck, or they may use portable vacuums. Chemicals may also be used to help sanitize, disinfect, and deodorize air ducts.
