Air Duct Cleaning
WHAT'S LURKING IN YOUR HVAC SYSTEM?
Duct cleaning may be an excellent idea if you have:
- Moved into a new home
- Owned your home for 5-7 years
- Replaced/will replace your furnace
- Added/remodeled your home
- Added/remodeled ductwork in your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system
- Noticed poor performance with your ducted heating/cooling system
- Observed visible dust on registers, return air covers or in ductwork
Our Duct Cleaning Process
The process we use is one of the most effective cleaning processes in the industry. We use negative air pressure (vacuums) to suck dust, dirt and other debris out of the heating/cooling system. We also agitate the ductwork with various air-operated tools and brushes to banish dust from hard to reach places and remove caked-on debris.
3-4 hours is typically the average time frame for a residential cleaning, depending on the size and the layout of the home.
We attach our vacuum hoses to the duct work next to the furnace (usually in the basement of residential homes) and then we use different hoses, brushes and air attachments to thoroughly clean the duct work, vents and other components. We clean both the supply and cold air return sides of your HVAC system.
We can use a video camera monitoring system to inspect your ductwork before the cleaning, during the cleaning and/or after the cleaning. Check out our Robotic Cleaning & Inspection page for more information,
We can also fog a solution into the duct work to kill bacteria, mold spores, pollen spores and other contaminants. This process is called Sanitizing. Sanitizing is highly recommended if anyone in your home or business suffers from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems. There is an additional charge for this process.
Free before and after photographs are provided to our clients when possible. {Or if requested upon an initial inspection.}
Why air duct cleaning by a certified ventilation inspector?
Air ducts function as the respiratory systems of homes and businesses. Up to 70 percent of indoor air can be re-circulated. Consequently, dirt, dust, mold, pollen and animal dander are exchanged within our air ducts, every time we use our heat or air conditioner.
Homes and workplaces can be airtight and energy-efficient. This also means they trap pollutants and contaminants; lowering air quality.
Contamination builds up over time in every air system. This build-up will reduce the efficiency of air duct systems, shorten system operating life, and continue to circulate the contaminants throughout the home or business.
Industry experts estimate many air duct systems are running at 75% efficiency or less.
Two cost effective methods to improving the efficiency and performance of any air duct system includes:
1. Cleaning the HVAC system.
(and/or)
2. Testing the HVAC system for optimal performance and efficiency.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryers are an important part of our household chores, but are the vents they use to exhaust clean?
Cleaning your dryer vent can alleviate restricted airflow from lint build-up and other air constriction helping your dryer run at optimal efficiency.
Clean Air Service, Inc. cleans commercial and residential dryer vent systems. Call or email us today for a free estimate!
According to a study by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission in 1996, there were an estimated 15,500 fires associated with clothes dryers, 20 deaths, 320 injuries and about $84.4 million in property loss reported for residential structures.
Out of the 79 reports that were described as fire incidents, the duct or ventilation system was reported as the most frequent location for fires to start and the lint trap of the household dryer was noted as the second most frequently reported fire origination point.
Failure to maintain a clear exhaust system can also create problems for other dryer components like the motor, electrical system, and the thermostat.
This photo represents a before and after example of dryer vent cleaning in a commercial setting:
One way to reduce the risk of a fire includes regularly cleaning your lint trap:
CAUTION - A clean
dryer vent and lint trap may lead to:
Shorter drying times for laundry!
Longer appliance life!
Fewer appliance repairs!
Lower fire hazard!
Lower electric bills and energy costs!
Peace of mind!

Air Duct Efficiency Testing
Clean Air Service, Inc. can test your furnace and air ducts for efficiency and offer suggestions to help improve your HVAC system performance.
An HVAC system that is not running efficiently can increase overall maintenance costs and raise energy bills. Valuable heated or conditioned air could be escaping your duct work and traveling to your attic, basement or outside your home entirely. Conversely, outside air might be leaking into your duct work creating extra work for your furnace or air conditioner.
Leaks in your HVAC system can also allow humid air to enter your environment leaving your home or business feeling uncomfortable even when it is air conditioned.
We encourage you to check out the: Energy Conservatory
for more information regarding air duct efficiency testing and how it can benefit you.

Mold Testing
Clean Air Service can test for mold in your home or business. We can determine if the mold is potentially harmful and if it should be remediated by taking spore trap samples, tape samples, bulk samples or cultures of the mold.
Below is an article taken from the Aller Air Industries website about mold:
Mold- A Serious Health Hazard for You and Your Family
What is mold?
Mold is a simple, microscopic organism, present virtually everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
For molds to grow and reproduce, they need moisture and a food source (any organic material, such as leaves, wood, paper, or dirt.)
Because molds grow by digesting the organic material, they gradually destroy whatever they grow on. Sometimes, new molds grow on old mold colonies.
Molds release countless tiny lightweight spores that travel through the air. If they land on a damp area the spores begin to grow and digest what they are attached to.
Where does mold appear?
Mold needs dampness to grow so it will be found in basements, bathrooms, kitchens and after a water leak or flood.
Mold growth on surfaces can often be seen in the form of discoloration, frequently green, gray, brown, or black but also white and other colors.
Mold may appear on ceiling tiles floors, windowsills, insulation, carpet, furniture, behind ductwork and walls (including wallpaper) and in cardboard or paper.
How does mold affect indoor air quality?
Molds release microscopic spores that travel through the air. It is common to find mold spores in indoor air although most of the airborne spores found indoors, where there is no mold infestation come, from outdoor sources.
Mold spores generally cause health problems when they are present in large numbers due to active or recent mold growth within the home, office or school.
Mold micotoxins:
Certain types of molds, such as Stachybotris chartarum, may produce compounds called mycotoxins that have toxic properties.
Mycotoxins are not always produced, and whether a mold produces mycotoxins while growing in a building depends on what the mold is growing on, conditions such as temperature, pH, humidity or other unknown factors.
When mycotoxins are present, they occur in both living and dead mold spores and may be found in materials that have become contaminated with molds.
While Stachybotrys is growing, a wet slime layer covers its spores, preventing them from becoming airborne. However, when the mold dies and dries up, air currents or physical handling can cause spores to become airborne.
Call Clean Air Service, Inc. today to learn more about mold or schedule a testing!
Radon Testing
Clean Air Service is now equipped to test for Radon!
The following information was taken from A Citizen's Guide to Radon
from the US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency).
What is radon?
Radon is a tasteless, odorless, radioactive gas that is released during the process of the natural decay of uranium found in almost all soils. Radon is a problem because when you breathe in air with levels of radon, radon gas decomposes into radioactive particles and becomes trapped in your lungs. These particles then release energy when they decay further causing damage to lung tissue. This exposure can lead to lung cancer in certain individuals and people who smoke or have smoked are at an elevated risk of developing lung cancer. Radon enters your house through cracks and holes in your homes foundation. After it is in your home, it often becomes trapped where dangerous levels can build up putting you at risk. All homes are at risk; old new, well sealed or well ventilated. The EPA estimates that roughly 1 out of every 15 homes in the U.S. has elevated radon levels.
Although soil gas is the primary cause of radon related problems, radon can enter your home through your water supply as well. Radon can enter your home through well water or by absorbing into the ground water table of your public water source. Radon can then be released into the air when are showering or doing other household chores. Radon levels in your water can be reduced by implementing a filtering process before water enters your home or when it comes out of your tap.
How much is too much radon?
The average indoor radon level is approximately 1.3 pCi/L. The average estimated outdoor level is 0.4 pCi/L. The EPA suggests that if your radon level is 4 pCi/L or higher you should take measures to reduce your risk of exposure to radon. Even if your levels are below 4 pCi/L you may want to consider implementing a plan to reduce levels where possible.
The EPA suggests that:
Everyone test their home for radon.
If your radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher you should take measures to fix your home.
Even if your radon level is below 4 pCi/L your risk of developing lung cancer can be reduced by implementing risk reduction methods.
For more information regarding radon and what you can do to reduce your risk of exposure we encourage you to visit the full version of the EPA's A Citizen's Guide to Radon
or visit lcyyy.lcgrc.lciqx.uk2.gsr.awhoer.net/radon
for more information.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Although indoor air quality testing encompasses a number of different items, Clean Air Service, Inc. has the tools to test your home or business for contaminants that may be lurking in the air you breathe.
Some of our testing equipment analyzes particle counts in parts per million (ppm) and can be very effective in determining air quality anomalies.
Indoor air quality testing can be valuable if:
You or someone you know suffers from allergies or asthma and their symptoms are worse in a particular room or environment.
A recent renovation project caused dust and other contaminants to become airborne and you want to make sure the area is safe for habitation.
Your environment is sensitive to airborne contaminants and you need to monitor the air quality closely (laboratories, hospitals, nurseries, etc.).
You are bringing a new child or elderly person into your home and want to make sure the living environment does not harbor contaminants that can lead to negative consequences.
You have recently relocated and want to know more about your new location's air quality. Call Clean Air Service, Inc. and you'll breathe easy!
Dust Retention
If your building, factory or warehouse has dust buildup on the ceiling structure, walls or other components Clean Air Service, Inc. can remove it and leave you with a cleaner environment.
Clean Air Service, Inc. offers dust retention services. We can clean clean the dust or other debris that have accumulated on your building's structure. We also clean dust from walls, ceilings (conventional and dropdown), and many other structural items. Our dust retention services are great for sensitive working environments like laboratories, hospitals, factories and other places that require a extra attention to air quality.
According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), buildings with dust build-up on the ceilings walls, or other structure are at a high risk for explosion.
In 1999, a deadly fire and explosion occurred in a foundry in Massachusetts killing 3 and injuring 9. The cause was determined to be from dust accumulations; a poor ventilation system design; lack of oven maintenance; and, unreliable equipment safety devices.
In 2003, another dust fire and explosion occurred in North Carolina killing 6 people and injuring 38. This fire occurred at a pharmaceutical plant where combustible dust was released from the ceiling fueling an explosion.
In 2003, a Kentucky manufacturing plant harbored a deadly dust explosion that killed 7 and injured 37.
These examples demonstrate what can happen if proper cleaning practices are not followed. Dangerous levels of dust can build up on structures and if they are ignited in a confined space, explosions can occur. Manufacturing plants are at a high risk for this type of fire and should seriously consider implementing periodical maintenance measures that would discourage the build up of combustible dusts on their equipment and other structure.
For more information regarding combustible dust including: what makes dust ignite, you should consider reading this article from the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The article's title is a clickable

Dustmites
What are dust mites?
Dust mites are microscopic bugs that live in many places throughout our homes. They feed on dead skin cells and dander and are generally not harmful to humans.
Why are they a problem?
The danger of dust mites is not usually life threatening; however, those who suffer from allergies will react to their waste. Dust mite feces are responsible for allergic reactions in many allergy sufferers.
What can I do about them?
Because dust mite reactions are more common when dust mites are found in large concentrations, it is important to keep up with house-cleaning and regular dusting to prevent large sources of food for dust mites from accruing.
If your duct work or HVAC system has not been cleaned or inspected recently, it could be harboring large numbers of dust mites. When your indoor air is circulated, waste from the living dust mites may be dispersed throughout your home or business.
How can Clean Air Service, Inc. help?
We can clean your air ducts to eliminate large populations of dust mites by removing their shelter and breeding grounds. We also offer a number of HEPA and Activated Carbon air cleaning units that can scrub and purify your indoor air. These cleaning units can trap dust, dander, pollen and dust mite waste.
Call Clean Air Service, Inc. today for your free estimate. We'll be happy to tell you how we can improve your indoor air quality, so you can breathe easy!
