Duct Cleaning
Duct cleaning has become a buzzword in home service in the past 5 years, but
many homeowners are still confused about exactly what duct cleaning is and if
it is a service they need. At Service America we only use top quality HEPA
equipment, which insures that the contaminants are removed during the Air
conditioning duct cleaning process. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association
(NADCA) approves this equipment. We are fully licensed and insured and have
provided services since 1973. We are leaders in the field of duct cleaning and
can help you decide if you would benefit from this service.
Duct cleaning involves cleaning the air vents that move air from your central
air conditioner throughout your home. If your air ducts are dirty, that dirt is
circulated throughout your home and into the indoor air you breathe. The dirt
is also pulled through your central air conditioner, which can strain the unit
and decrease the efficiency. In addition, some duct systems contain mold,
mildew and microorganisms that are also circulated through the home.
Professional duct cleaning can remove these hazards from you indoor air.
However, it is important to note that not all duct-cleaning procedures are
equal. We like to say, "beware of the bargain duct cleaner". Many duct cleaning
companies use inferior equipment that simply brush the dirt around or pick up
the dirt closest to the vents with a low power vacuum. Make sure the duct
cleaner you choose uses top quality HEPA equipment and guarantees source
removal in their process. In addition, a full home duct cleaning should take
several hours and cost between $250-$450. dollars on average. If you see a
bargain duct-cleaning offer, they are more likely to clean out your wallet than
your ducts.
