The quality of the air we breathe indoors has become an increasingly important environmental concern. Recent research shows that people are spending on the average, 60 - 90% of their time indoors (American Lung Association).

Your air duct system functions as the respiratory system of your home. When it becomes contaminated and congested, it should be cleaned so it can distribute clean, healthy air. Respiratory irritants can circulate within the ducts and enter the rooms through the registers delivering fungi and bacteria throughout the home. Children, the elderly and people who suffer from allergies and asthma are especially affected by polluted indoor air. Studies home shown that two out of three indoor air quality problems involve the HVAC system, and the levels of some hazardous pollutants in indoor air have been found to be up to 70 times greater than in outdoor air! Not to mention that just one ounce of dust can harbor 42,000 dust mites.

The HEPA-AIRE method used by our company assures you that your ducts are being cleaned with the most advanced source removal equipment available. First, the HEPA-AIRE power vacuum is connected to the duct system near the furnace. Next, 1 inch access hole are drilled into the air ducts. Long lengths of air hose with special 360 degree, high velocity nozzles are connected to the compressor and “snaked” through the entire duct system, dislodging debris that has accumulated on inner duct surfaces. The HEPA-AIRE unit creates a powerful vacuum, pulling dislodged contaminants into its filtration system. This filtration system is so efficient that it captures contaminants 1/300th the diameter of a human hair, and returns filtered “hospital grade” air to your home. Once your duct system has been cleaned, we reseal all access holes, and your ducts are returned to “like new” condition.
