How long does air duct cleaning take?

The length of your air duct cleaning service will vary depending on your home’s duct system. If your home has a more complex air duct system, it may take longer than you anticipate. If you want a clearer picture of how long your air duct cleaning will take, it is best to speak to your technician. With their training and experience, they can provide you with a more accurate timeline for your upcoming cleaning service.

Does dryer vent cleaning help prevent house fires?

Yes, dryer vent cleaning is an excellent way to reduce your risk of fire. Dryer lint is highly flammable — in fact, the vast majority of house fires involve clothes dryers, and in those fires, lint is most likely to ignite first. Simply cleaning out the lint trap after each use isn’t enough to prevent buildup in the vent; regular dryer vent cleaning is essential for keeping your home and family safe from disaster.

How does air duct cleaning improve energy efficiency?

When your air ducts are clogged with dust, dirt, and debris, the HVAC system has to work harder to circulate heated or cooled air throughout your home. This means heating or cooling your home will use more energy than normal, despite the system’s worse performance. Think of it this way: It’s much easier to breathe through your nose or mouth than through a tiny straw, right? Well, when your ducts have significant buildup inside them, it’s like trying to get enough air through a straw; you have to work a lot harder to get the airflow you need. Air duct cleaning opens up your home’s “airway” by eliminating factors that constrict airflow, ensuring your HVAC system functions optimally.

Do I need air duct cleaning after a fire?

Yes, we definitely recommend air duct cleaning after a fire. Even if the flames didn’t directly affect your HVAC system, the smoke and soot can infiltrate through the vents, leaving toxic residue inside the ducts. Without thorough cleaning, these contaminants can linger, affecting indoor air quality and posing risks to respiratory health. In fact, depending on the extent of the contamination, it may be necessary to completely replace your air ducts. Our experts can assess the problem and determine whether air duct cleaning or replacement are necessary for your home after a fire.

How does air duct deodorizing work?

At All American Cleaning and Restoration, we use extreme odor neutralizing (EON) gas for air duct deodorizing treatments. Not only does it effectively get rid of odors, but it also neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and allergens. We apply this treatment by mixing it together in a bucket with water, creating a temporary gas that infiltrates the space. We place the bucket near the return air intake vent, which pulls the gas through the ducts and distributes it throughout your home.

Duct Cleaning for HVAC Contamination

Duct Cleaning for HVAC Contamination
The term Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is sometimes used to describe cases in which building occupants experience health discomforts that are linked to the time they spend in the building. In many cases, the source for SBS is contaminants being spread through the structure by the ventilation system. Poorly maintained Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems may harbor bacteria, fungi, mold, pollen, dust mites, and other disease carrying biological pollutants.
At All American Cleaning & Restoration, our highly trained personnel have the skills to investigate HVAC contamination and assist in determining the best solution for your individual situation.
