Lots of people don’t know about the increasing problem with indoor air pollution. Many cleaning companies have started to offer services and products made especially for improving indoor air quality. You may or you may have not seen an advertisement, gotten a coupon or have been offered cleaning services for your air ducts to improve the air quality in your home. The price usually ranges between $450 to $1000 per air duct system, depending on what the services exactly are, the size of the system that is to be cleaned, how accessible it is, what’s the climatic region, and how much dirtied it is.
The air duct cleaning is actually cleaning heating and cooling system parts.
If the components of these systems haven’t been installed, maintained and operated, they’ll probably become contaminated with dust and debris. If there’s moisture, there is a bigger change for mould to appear. That leads to the release of spores in the living areas of the home. These pollens may cause allergies and other health problems. If you decide to get the air ducts cleaned, make sure that the cleaning service company agree to clean all the components, and that they’re qualified. IF they fail clean everything and forget to clean even one place, the contamination will spread everywhere again and all the cleaning effort and money spent will have been in vain.
There are some different methods of cleaning air-ducts but they all are essentially the same, as there are established standards. Usually, the cleaning company will provide and use specialised tools for dislodging the dirt and then use a powerful vacuum cleaner.
The service provider may also ask you if you wish them to use chemicals which kill the contamination. After cleaning everything, some cleaning companies may also offer covering the inside surfaces of the systems, as they believe it will lessen the chance of contamination and the harmful results. This has yet to be proved, though.
