Colorado Residential Air Duct Cleaning

Air Duct Cleaning - Many homeowners are now aware of the dangers that indoor air quality poses to their health.  From dust to mold; indoor air quality can be affected by numerous pathogens in the home. Air duct cleaning services help to create better indoor air quality by removing the built up debris that can accumulate in forced air heating and cooling systems.

Typical air duct cleaning services offer a wide range of services at a wide range of prices. Costs can differ due to the number of registers that need to be cleaned; the difficulty in accessing the ducts and many other factors. A duct cleaning service should offer a thorough cleaning of everything, including the returns and supply air ducts, vents, grills, registers, cooling and heating coils, diffusers, motors and drip pans and lines.

Heating and cooling maintenance is a must. When dust, pollen and other airborne debris is passed through a closed duct system, it can become the perfect breeding ground for mold spores. Once moisture from condensation is introduced into the ducts, mold spores can form, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. When hiring any duct cleaning service, always ensure they will perform a thorough cleaning of the entire unit. If just one section of the heating/cooling system is not cleaned, recontamination can occur, making it necessary to repeat the entire process again when mold is present.

Some duct cleaning services offer chemical sealants or biocides treatments for the ducts in an effort to eliminate and prevent mold. Be aware that these treatments have yet to be proven long term. Even if a chemical treatment is performed, a thorough cleaning must be performed prior to any chemical agent application. Always get a written contract of the services provided and any chemical sealant guarantees before you sign any contracts or agreements.

If you or any of your family members are experiencing allergic reactions when in the home, you have a vermin infestation or there is just too much dust and debris in the duct, call a professional duct cleaning service immediately.
