Air Duct Cleaning
The removal of contaminates from the entire HVAC system is recognized by the industry experts as the most effective way to eliminate air duct pollutants. This is referred to as the “source removal” method of duct cleaning. In addition to the obvious health benefits, duct cleaning can help you maintain a cleaner home. It also helps restore HVAC system capacity and lessen running time, resulting in lower heating and cooling bills.
The HEPA-AIRE method used by Air Xchange Duct Cleaning assures you that your ducts are being cleaned with the most advanced source removal equipment available. This high tech, state of the art system is used by leading professional duct cleaners throughout North America and is widely recognized as the most significant breakthrough in duct cleaning equipment technology in the past 30 years.
The key components of this system are the patented HEPA-AIRE portable power vacuum and the AIRE-SWEEP compressor. This system enable our technicians to reach and thoroughly clean your entire duct system with minimal noise and disruption.
The Process
- The HEPA-AIRE power vacuum is connected to the ducts system near the furnace.
- A 1 inch access holes is drilled in the air ducts
- Long lengths of air hose with special 360 degree high velocity nozzles are connected to the compressor and snaked through the entire duct system to dislodged debris that has accumulated.
- The HEPA-AIRE unit creates a powerful vacuum pulling dislodged contaminates into its filtration system.
- Once a thorough cleaning is completed the ducts are resealed and returned to like new condition.
