Residential / Home Air
Duct Cleaning
The Problem
;
Do you know what lurks in your home air ducts; any
idea what it looks like? Did you realize that during the building
process of new homes all kinds of debris can be put into the ductwork?
Not only is there drywall and saw dust, but many different contaminants
will accumulate over time. Through the normal everyday living
process in your home, your ductwork becomes a holding cell for pet
dander, dust, allergens of all sorts, dirt and even mold spores.
Everyday your family breathes air that is continually re-circulated
through this contaminated ductwork.
The Solution;
Air Duct Cleaning by Boston Environmental & Pro Air
Industry standards set by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association
(NADCA) is to have your air ducts inspected every 2 years.
Depending on your location and the conditions in your home, air ducts
need to be cleaned every 4-8 years.
By having your air ducts cleaned regularly, you will
improve the healthiness of the air your family breathes as well as help
maintain your heating/cooling system. There are many advantages -
extending the life of your heating/cooling equipment, eliminating costly
service calls and reducing energy bills to name a few. Our
technicians are able to access and thoroughly clean your entire duct
system by using mechanical cleaning methods. You can always count
on the Boston Environmental & Pro Air Satisfaction Guarantee to be
assured you receive the best service in the Air Duct Cleaning Industry.
Duct cleaning involves cleaning the air vents that
move air from your central air conditioner throughout your home. If your
air ducts are dirty, that dirt is circulated throughout your home and
into the indoor air you breathe. The dirt is also pulled through your
central air conditioner, which can strain the unit and decrease the
efficiency. In addition, some duct systems contain mold, mildew and
microorganisms that are also circulated through the home.
Professional duct cleaning can remove these hazards from your indoor
air. However, it is important to note that not all duct-cleaning
procedures are equal. We like to say, "beware of the bargain duct
cleaner". Many duct cleaning companies use inferior equipment that
simply brush the dirt around or pick up the dirt closest to the vents
with a low power vacuum. Make sure the duct cleaner you choose uses top
quality HEPA equipment and guarantees source removal in their process.
In addition, a full home duct cleaning should take several hours and
cost between $400-$750 dollars on average. If you see a bargain
duct-cleaning offer, they are more likely to clean out your wallet than
your ducts.

A strong truck mounted vacuum is placed on the air duct system
and then all trunk lines and feeder lines are scoured to remove
all dust, mold, mildew and fungus. This debris is removed
directly from the system to our vacuum - with no mess and
nothing left behind
