WHAT IS INDOOR AIR QUALITY?

Indoor air quality (also called indoor environmental quality) measures how air affects a person's health, comfort, and ability to work. It can include temperature, mold from water damage, humidity, lack of outside air (poor ventilation), or exposure to other chemicals.

DUCT CLEANING

The average family home creates 40 pounds of dust annually, most of which gets caught in your duct system. Breathing in that dust is a health hazard for people with allergies and asthma. Excess dust can also put extra wear on your HVAC system.

Dirty ducts drastically reduce system lifespan as dust particles build on and clog sensitive mechanical components. Keeping your HVAC system in great shape for another year can offset the duct cleaning cost. When dust particles settle in your HVAC system, the components work harder to heat or cool your home, rendering even the most efficient HVAC systems wasteful. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25% to 40% of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted- much of it from dirty ductwork.

Signs You Need Professional Duct Cleaning in Cincinnati, Ohio

• Visible Dust and Debris. If you notice dust and debris around your vents or visible buildup within the ducts, it's a clear sign to clean them.
• Unpleasant Odors. Musty, stale, or other unpleasant odors from your functioning HVAC system could indicate the presence of mildew or mold in the ductwork.
• Increased Allergy Symptoms. An unexplained rise in allergy or asthma symptoms among household members might indicate dirty ducts circulating allergens.
• Inconsistent Airflow. Rooms that seem warmer or cooler than others could suggest airflow issues stemming from dust-clogged ducts.
• Frequent HVAC Repairs. If your HVAC system experiences frequent repairs, it may be due to excess dust and debris affecting the components' operation.
• Higher Energy Bills. Noticeably higher energy bills without a clear reason might be due to your HVAC system working harder to push air through clogged ducts.
• Insect or Rodent Infestations. Seeing droppings, nests, or other pests in your ducts indicates that cleaning is urgently needed.

The General Process of Air Duct Cleaning in Cincinnati, Ohio

Inspection

A professional air duct cleaning technician will inspect the duct system to determine the extent of contamination and identify areas that need special attention. They may use cameras or other tools to visualize the interior of the ducts. This initial assessment helps create a targeted cleaning plan and guarantees that all problem areas are addressed.

Preparation

The next step is to prepare the surrounding work area to prevent dust and debris from spreading around the home. This may include covering furniture and flooring with protective sheets. The technician will also turn off the HVAC system to prevent the spread of contaminants during the cleaning process.

Dislodging Debris

Specialized tools such as brushes, air whips, and high-powered blowers dislodge dust, dirt, and other debris adhered to the ductwork's interior surfaces. Agitation devices may be used to break up stubborn contaminants, ensuring thorough cleaning. This step can easily remove buildup within the ducts.

Vacuuming

High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum systems can be used to capture and remove dislodged debris from the ductwork. These powerful vacuums can contain and filter out particles, preventing them from re-entering the indoor environment. The vacuum systems are typically connected directly to the ducts to ensure comprehensive removal of all contaminants.

Cleaning Registers and Grills

Vent covers, or registers and grills, are removed and cleaned separately. These components collect large amounts of dust and debris over time. Cleaning them ensures no contaminants are returned to the freshly cleaned ducts. Once cleaned, they are reinstalled securely.

Sanitization (Optional)

Depending on the specific requirements or upon request, technicians can sanitize the ducts using environmentally friendly antimicrobial solutions. This step is beneficial in eliminating bacteria, mold spores, and other harmful microorganisms that might be lingering within the ductwork. It is an optional step that adds an extra layer of protection for your indoor air quality.

Final Inspection

After cleaning and reassembling the system, the technician will conduct a final inspection to ensure that all ducts, registers, and grills are free of dust and debris. They can use cameras to verify the system's cleanliness. This step confirms that the cleaning was thorough and effective, leaving your duct system in optimal condition.

System Testing

Finally, the last step involves turning the HVAC system back on to confirm its operating efficiency. The technician will ensure consistent airflow and no unusual noises or odors emanate from the clean ducts. This test is important to show that the system works properly after the cleaning and that your home's air quality has improved greatly.

Tools We Use for Duct Cleaning

• Inspection Cameras. We use cameras to visually inspect the interior of the ductwork. They help search areas with heavy contamination and guide the cleaning process.
• Brushes. We use various sizes and types of brushes and duct cleaners to scrub and dislodge debris from the ducts' interior surfaces.
• Air Whips. These flexible, high-pressure air tools can loosen stubborn dust and dirt effectively.
• High-Powered Blowers. Blowers help dislodge and move debris through the duct system for easier removal.
• Agitation Devices. Mechanical duct cleaners such as rotary brush systems break tough buildup within the ducts.
• High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Vacuums. These powerful vacuums can capture and filter out particles, guaranteeing thorough removal from the ductwork.
• Protective Sheets. Our team uses protective sheets to cover furniture and flooring to stop dust and debris from spreading in your home.
• Sanitizing Solutions. Environmentally friendly antimicrobial solutions are used to sanitize the ductwork, eliminating bacteria, mold spores, and other harmful microorganisms.
• Vent Cover Cleaning Tools. We use this specialized equipment to clean registers and grills and remove contaminants before reinstallation.
• Duct Sealants. We occasionally use duct sealants to secure minor leaks or gaps in the ductwork after cleaning, improving the HVAC system's overall efficiency.
