Duct Cleaning
Although modern technology has made significant advances in air filters over the past decade, a fractional amount of dust still finds its way past heating and cooling filters and into your home’s ducts. As this dust accumulates throughout your home, it creates the perfect environment for the growth of mold, mites and harmful bacteria. To check your ducts for dust buildup, pull off several supply and return registers and see how much dust has accumulated in the system.
Duct cleaning has a large effect on the actual air quality. It will eliminate a house-wide breeding ground for harmful bacteria and mold in addition to helping your heating and cooling system operate more efficiently.
If you choose to clean your system, your best option is to contact us for professional duct cleaning. Precision Heating & Indoor Air Quality is the only local company that uses endoscopic duct cleaning (which allows the technician to see the ducts as they are being cleaned), and is NADCA Certified. All other duct cleaners in Clatsop and Pacific counties are not NADCA trained or certified and they clean without any “visual verification system.” It’s kind of like hiring a blind window washer.
The Environmental Protection Agency has stated that “any person in the business of duct cleaning without in-duct camera verification borders on consumer fraud.”
Stan says “If you are installing a new system, you should consider cleaning the ducts at the same time. New systems are more powerful and can stir up dust that is sitting in the existing ductwork.”
