Allergies can be a frustrating and debilitating condition, causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. For many people, allergies are a year-round problem, and it can be difficult to find relief from the constant symptoms.
But did you know that one of the keys to alleviating allergy symptoms could be as simple as having your air ducts cleaned?
Air ducts are responsible for circulating the air throughout your home or office. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens can accumulate in the ducts, and these contaminants can be circulated through the air, causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. By having your air ducts cleaned, you can remove these allergens and irritants from the air, which can help reduce allergy symptoms.

During an air duct cleaning appointment, a professional technician will use a Negative Air Machine or a contacts base Duct cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the ductwork in your home or office. The exact process will vary depending on the specific needs of your House, but generally, the following steps will be taken:
1. Inspection – our technician will inspect your ductwork and plenum box to identify any areas needing special attention, such as areas with heavy dust, mold, or debris buildup.
2. Protection – our technician will cover the areas of your home that will be cleaned to prevent dust and debris from spreading during the cleaning process.
3. Removing the vent covers – The technician will remove the vent covers to access the ductwork.
4. Cleaning the ducts – our technician will use specialized tools, such as Negative airbrushes and vacuums, to remove dust, debris, and other contaminants from the ducts. They may also use a disinfectant to kill any mold or bacteria that may be present in the ducts.
5. Cleaning the vent covers: we will clean the vent covers to remove any dust or debris that may have accumulated on them.
6. Reinstalling the vent covers: we will reinstall the vent covers once the cleaning is completed.
7. Final inspection: we will do a final review to ensure that the air ducts are clean and that all debris has been removed.

The whole process can take anywhere from 1-3 hours to a full day, depending on the size of your house and the condition of the ducts.

Preparing for air duct cleaning can ensure a smoother and more efficient process. Follow these simple steps to get your home ready for the service:
1. Clear the area around vents and registers: Make sure that furniture, rugs, and other objects are not obstructing access to air vents and registers throughout your home. This will allow the technicians to easily reach and clean all components of your duct system.
2. Remove any fragile items: Take down any delicate or valuable items that are close to the vents or could be accidentally damaged during the cleaning process. This includes paintings, photographs, and decorative items.
3. Secure your pets: For the safety and comfort of both your pets and the technicians, it’s a good idea to keep your pets in a separate room or confined area during the air duct cleaning.
4. Provide access to the HVAC system: Make sure the technicians have easy access to your HVAC system, including the furnace, air handler, and air conditioning units. This may require clearing a path or moving objects that could be blocking access.
5. Inform the technicians of any specific concerns: If you have any particular issues or concerns with your air duct system, be sure to let the technicians know before they begin the cleaning process. This will help them address your concerns more effectively.

By taking these steps to prepare for air duct cleaning, you can help ensure a successful and efficient service that will leave your home’s air duct system clean and functioning optimally!
