Duct Cleaning and Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dirty air ducts have been identified as a major source of indoor air pollution. Your air duct system is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, and other health threatening organisms. Dust mites don't typically live and breed in the ducts themselves. However, dirty air ducts distribute the primary food source for dust mites - dust.

Many people are allergic to dust mite waste. Dust mites feed on debris found in ductwork. Remove the debris and you remove their food. Also, by greatly reducing particulate debris in your ducts, there are less dust particles and potential allergens in the air to aggravate those with respiratory illnesses. Let Cool Care Heating and Air clean your duct work in your home to remove the dust, pollen, and many other allergens that could be causing health issues with your family.

Cool Care also provides dryer vent cleaning services, which can help you save on energy bills by making your clothes dryer run more efficiently. It also lessens the wear and tear on your dryer, which will lengthen the life of the machine.

Air Duct Cleaning - Step by Step:

1. Removal and cleaning of registers.
2. Technician cleans supply vents all the way to the air handler.
3. Dirt and debris is brushed, collected and swept up by the dual vacuum system.
4. Optimum coverage is ensured as technician works back through the system, overlapping much of the ductwork.
5. Vacuum attachment topically cleans inside the air handler.
6. Air handler fan is turned on and antimicrobial treatment is fogged into cold air return.
7. Fan circulates treatment deep into the system.

Dryer Vent Cleaning - Step by Step:

1. Technician removes and cleans lint trap.
2. Technician takes the measurement of airflow using an air flow meter at the exterior dryer vent.
3. The back of the dryer is topically cleaned, as this is where lint can accumulate.
4. The dryer vent and flexible ducting from the wall are visually inspected using the i2CAM™ video inspection system.
5. The HEPA vacuum system is connected to dryer vent duct. Dryer duct auger is run through the duct to remove any blockages.
6. Airflow is measured again to gauge improvement before and after cleaning.
7. The i²CAM™ is used again for post cleaning inspection.

Air Duct Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions:

Will my house be less dirty after you clean the air ducts?

Yes, the inside of your ductwork is the equivalent of an extra room in your home that never gets dusted or vacuumed. When the furnace or air conditioner fan turns on, dust from the ductwork gets churned up and blown into the rooms of your home.

I live in a new home. Do I still need your service?

Absolutely! Up to 50% of air duct system cleaning is done in homes that are less than five years old. During construction, the ductwork is wide open and the air handler is running many times without a filter. During this time, construction debris such as pieces of plaster, drywall, wood, dust, insects and insulation, are accumulated in the ductwork.

How will I know if my air ducts need to be cleaned?

By using the i²CAM™ Video Inspection unit, our technicians can show you how dirty your system is. It can also show you the "before" and "after" of your duct cleaning, so you know that it's a job well done.

Will your equipment work on my air ducts?

The equipment we use to clean the air ducts is effective in all types of air duct construction, including flex duct, round metal ducts, square metal ducts, and fiberboard. It can easily accommodate right angle turns and multiple bends found in most types of duct systems.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions:

Does cleaning my dryer vent lower my energy bills?

Yes, by having your dryer vent professionally cleaned, your clothes dryer will run more efficiently. Your dryer will not have to run as long, lessening the wear and tear on your dryer, reducing your need for repair and lengthening the life of your dryer.

Can I clean my dryer vent on my own?

Although a homeowner can clean dryer vents, it is advised that you consult a professional. Most homeowners don't have the special equipment required to do a thorough job. A professional has special tools such as video inspection equipment to give a visual of the hard-to-reach areas of the dryer vent system.

How do I know if my dryer vent needs to be cleaned?

Using the following as a checklist, you can get a good idea if your dryer vent is in need of cleaning:

• Loads of clothing are taking longer to dry.
• Clothing is very hot and still damp when dryer finishes (especially heavy items especially, such as towels).
• The dryer itself feels hotter.
• There may be no lint on the lint screen (i.e. the exhaust system is clogged).
