Duct Cleaning

 Air Care Wizard  follows the EPA Recommended Procedures for Air Duct Cleaning.

We think of our home as our fortress and safe place from the world outside. It may surprise you to learn the degree of contaminates we are exposed to inside our own homes. It just makes sense to protect ourselves and our families from breathing contaminated air. Decide to clean your air duct system today and you will rest easier tonight.

Have the air ducts in your home cleaned if:

• There is substantial visible mold growth inside surface ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
• Ducts are infested with vermin
• Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.

Indoor Air and Your Health

Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later. The (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency has found that viruses, mold, pollen, bacteria, dust mites, and other biological contaminants build up and even breed in your air conditioning and duct system. The EPA has determined that 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air. EPA documented health issues caused by the contaminants in your home’s air ducts include:

Seven Reasons for Professional Air Duct Cleaning

1. They have never been cleaned before. Most homes have never had their air ducts cleaned. Indoor air may be up to 70 times more polluted than outside air.
2. You or your family members have allergies. Dust and other contaminates are actually pulled into your furnace system through the return air side of the system. Heating air duct systems provide ideal breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, fungi, and other allergens. For example, dust mites breed in temperatures between 72 and 86 degrees. Children under four (with immature immune systems) are particularly vulnerable and the result may be allergies or asthma. Seattle Healthy Projects reports “New research indicates if children do not come into contact with Asthma triggers between birth and 4 years old they may never develop asthma.

3. You have had a wet, damp, or flooded home in the past causing mold and mildew growth.
4. You want to clean out all those living and dead spiders, insects and rodents that have been living (and dying) in your ducts for years.
5. You have had remodeling done in your home. Remodeling dust can circulate for years.
6. Pet fur gets caught in the vents and builds up living germs, fungus, and allergy-causing elements, giving mold and mildew something to live on.
7. Constant dusting without lasting results.
