QAP Frequently Asked Questions
Indoor air quality is one concern homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. Your heating and cooling system serves as the lungs of your home. It takes in air and “breathes” it out.
Through normal activity in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as pet dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculate an average of 5 to 7 times per day.
We recommend air duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years and dryer vent cleaning annually.
Residential HVAC system cleaning should be completed using the Source Removal Method. This method requires the entire system to be put under a negative air pressure. We achieve this with our powerful vacuum, the Nikro PDC 4000, attached to your system. While the vacuum draws air through your system, the technicians use air tools (or brushes) that are inserted into the air ducts. This dislodges all contaminants, which then travel into the vacuum’s HEPA filters. No dirt or contaminants are released into your home.
For an average size home, it takes 3 – 4 hours depending on the degree of contamination.
Yes, but we do ask that you stay clear of the equipment that is being used to clean. Your HVAC system will be turned off during this process.
EnviroCON is specific to the HVAC industry and is highly effective in eliminating odor causing microorganisms as well as those associated with mold, mildew and bacterial growth.
