Dryer Vent Cleaning
|
Along with air ducts, we also offer dryer vent cleaning services. What you might not know is that behind the scenes (or behind the walls), your dryer accumulates lint over time. While you can chip away at the problem by washing the lint filters, you can't get to the lint stored deeper within the ducts without special tools and equipment.
Quite often you'll notice warning signs in advance that indicate a lint buildup, such as a dryer that seems too hot or clothes that don't seem to dry. Letting dryer vents get clogged can be hazardous, as it can start a fire. As with air ducts, letting lint accumulate can also reduce air flow and cause your dryer to work harder, which in turn increases your energy bill. So to keep you and your family safe and not waste money, contact us for dryer vent cleaning. |

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
|
In addition to residential services, we offer air duct cleaning for commercial buildings. Like your home, the air ducts in a building can get clogged with dirt and debris. It's important to have clean, healthy air flowing through both your home and building, but for a variety of reasons it is especially important to keep the air in your building clean.
Tenants, employees, and workers can all suffer from worsened allergy, asthma, and respiratory symptoms if the air in your building deteriorates. Along with health problems, letting your building air vents get clogged with dirt and dust can lead to higher heat and air conditioning costs. This is because the dirt adds air-flow resistance causing less hot air or cold air to reach the back rooms of your building. With a clean ventilation system, the air blowing from your furnace or air conditioner can flow freely and much more efficiently.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
Duct cleaning is something many people don't think about and something very rarely done on a regular basis. If you've moved into a new house, its unlikely the previous owners every scheduled these services. If you've been living in your home for more than a few years, chances are its time to have your vents swept and cleaned.
Officially, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association believes you should have your vents cleaned every three to five years. However, sometimes you'll need to have them cleaned more frequently (every two - three years) if your home has environmental toxins like pet hair and cigarette smoke.
If you are having your home renovated, consider getting the ducts cleaned after the project is done, as there's a good chance they will have gotten quite dirty. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, contact us for air duct cleaning services in St Louis, Missouri.

Why should I get my air ducts cleaned regularly?
The following are three great reasons why you should get your air ducts cleaned regularly:
- More Efficient HVAC Equipment: Debris within ducts can restrict airflow. Ducts are important to a home's HVAC system because they channel conditioned air throughout a home's interiors. Because air duct debris can restrict airflow, it can also reduce the efficiency of a home's HVAC system. Duct cleanings can therefore allow HVAC equipment to function more efficiently.
- Healthier Air: Professional duct cleaning services can make a home's interior air more healthy- Dirty air ducts will compromise the purity of a home's interior air. Contaminated interior air can create a lot of healthy problems like respiratory issues. Low quality interior air can also contain a lot of allergens like pollen that are likely to incite asthma attacks and allergic reactions.
- Comfort: Air duct cleanings can make a home more comfortable- A home with dirty interior air will not be comfortable to live in. Such homes are prone to having unpleasant odors in the air.
How does mold grow in my HVAC ductwork?
Unfortunately, HVAC ductwork is sometimes an ideal environment for the growth of mold to take root. Ducts present a dark environment. If the dark environment of ducts is combined with moisture, mold growth becomes very likely. One thing that makes it difficult to combat mold growth is the fact that mold can grow so quickly. Once mold spores are present within ducts, mold can start to grow within in as little as two days.
Once mold is present, it's very easy for communities of mold growth to spread. Air is channeled throughout ducts as part of the natural functioning of HVAC equipment. If mold is present in one part of the ducts, mold spores can easily be channeled to other parts of the duct along with the air as HVAC equipment operates.
Mold needs moisture in order to proliferate within ducts. Controlling mold growth usually involves controlling moisture levels within the ducts. Moisture can be controlled within ducts through the use of drain and condensate pans. These components need to be drained out periodically to minimize moisture in the air within ducts.

How can I avoid getting scammed when hiring an air duct cleaning company?
There are a few things it's important to do to avoid getting scammed when having your air ducts cleaned. Unfortunately, scams are a somewhat common issue with air duct cleaning because homeowners cannot see their ducts and do not know first-hand what differences have been made in their ducts after a cleaning.
However, it's easy to take some precautions to avoid getting scammed. For one thing, homeowners should only work with a well established company. They should preferable hire a company that's well known in their community and that a friend or acquaintance has recommended.
Another thing it's important to do to avoid getting scammed is make sure that you know upfront what the costs are going to be. One scam that is sometimes carried out is quoting a low offer and then telling the customer after beginning the job that the costs are actually going to be higher to get the job down. It's best to have something in writing that indicates what the prices will be and shows that the price is not going to be increased for any reason.
You should look at reviews online if the company you are using for your duct cleaning has a website. Online review sites will have some negative reviews if a company has been in business for a significant length of time and is running a scam.
