Clean Air Ducts Result In Cleaner Indoor Air

We spend a lot of time indoors; according to the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), most people spend 90% of their time indoors. The more time people spend indoors, the more sensitive they become to indoor air pollutants like dust, dust mites, bacteria, and microorganisms that come into the home through air ducts. Cleaning dirty air ducts brings relief to people who suffer from indoor allergens. Our customers have reported this to us for years, and we’ve certainly noticed this ourselves after cleaning the ducts in our own homes.

During the summer, people stay inside for longer periods of time as it becomes more uncomfortable outside. But indoor air can be as dirty, or dirtier, than outside air. The National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA), the air duct inspection, maintenance, and restoration association, says a six-room home can create as much as 40 pounds of dust per year that get circulated through air ducts. “If your ducts look dirty,” says NADCA, “they probably are,” and should be inspected and cleaned by reputable professionals.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that homeowners should consider cleaning air ducts that are infested with vermin or have excessive dust. We urge everyone to clean their air ducts if any of these symptoms are present. Dirty air can aggravate other problems like allergies, chronic bronchitis, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), a lung disease that may affect as many as 24 million Americans according to the American Lung Association. Add in other contaminants like dander from pets, and pollen, dust, and pollution that flow in and out whenever you open a door or window, and the problems can compound.

We Use Specialized Air Duct Cleaning Methods & Equipment

Mr. Duct Cleaner uses Rotobrush® air duct cleaning equipment, considered by many to be the best in the industry. Rotobrush manufactures its products right here in Texas. We also use negative air equipment on many projects.

Our professionally trained staff know that to maximize the quality of indoor air, the HVAC system should also be cleaned. A dirty unit will send bacteria and other organic material into the air ducts. We will perform a visual inspection of the system and recommend if a unit cleaning is warranted.

We clean all supply air ducts and return ducts, using stiff bristle brushes that spin against the debris stuck inside. Our technicians bring a supply of brushes in different sizes so that each return and supply register is properly cleaned with an appropriate size brush.
Once inside the smaller supply ducts, these brushes spin and remove all of the particles that have collected inside the ductwork.
