Atlas Chimney Can Clean Your Air Ducts

Did you know that the air quality inside your home might be even lower than the air quality outside? According to government organizations including the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, indoor air quality is a top health hazard. If you live in the Austin area, Atlas Chimney can help you breathe easier inside your home with our professional air duct cleaning services. We would like to tell you more about why you might need these services and what you can expect from our experienced and certified technicians.

Why Would I Need to Have my Air Ducts Professionally Cleaned?

The air in your home is circulated through the air ducts whenever you are using your heating and cooling system. When the ducts are not clean, that air picks up any dust, dirt, mold, bacteria, and other particles inside the ducts and spreads it throughout your home, which can pose respiratory health hazards. This can be very dangerous to any member of your household with allergies or other breathing issues. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends having a professional inspect and clean your air duct system if any of your family members are experiencing unusual or unexplained symptoms that may be related to your home environment. The EPA also strongly suggests professional air duct cleaning if there is substantial mold growth inside the ducts. In addition, vermin infestation requires professional cleaning. Finally, call a professional if you notice dust flying out of the air registers.

What Can I Expect From a Professional Air Duct Cleaning From Atlas Chimney?

The first thing we do is inspect the entire air duct system with our video camera equipment. If we find evidence of any debris, we will provide you with a proposed cleaning plan and a written estimate. Our professional air duct cleaning services include vacuuming the air ducts with a high-powered and HEPA-filtered machine. In addition, we scrub the ducts with industry tools like skipper balls and specialized brushes. After we have finished cleaning, we can show you the difference it made with before and after footage from our video inspection camera.

Atlas Chimney Now Does Aeroseal

Now, we are excited to announce that we are adding a new air duct maintenance service, Aeroseal! This is a revolutionary product that will save you money and energy by sealing your air duct system. We would like to tell you more about Aeroseal and how it works.  So this way you can see how essential it is to improve the energy efficiency in your home.

What exactly is Aeroseal and how does it work?

A patented technology that allows duct leaks to be sealed from the inside out, Aeroseal puts pressure on escaping air. It uses polymer particles that to stick together from the edges of a duct leak, until the leak is completely sealed. Atlas Chimney will start the Aeroseal process by plugging your registers with foam. This forces air to escape through existing leaks. By connecting the Aeroseal machine to your air duct system, we will be able to tell exactly how much air is leaking during the pretest. After the pretest, we will then inject a non-toxic aerosol sealant into your duct system to repair the leaks. In addition, you will be able to see how effective Aeroseal is by watching the computer monitor as it gives results in real time. After this process has finished, we will give you a printout that certifies the results.

What are the benefits of an Aeroseal treatment?

Once your air ducts have been sealed with Aeroseal, you will see a decrease in the amount of your utility bills. Also, an improvement in the indoor air quality and the comfort level of your home. A major portion of your utility bills comes from your home’s heating and cooling system. Thus, making air duct leaks quite costly. In fact, duct leakage costs residential homeowners as much as $25 billion every year. Sealing your ducts with Aeroseal will greatly reduce your utility bills each month!

Your indoor air quality will improve after an Aeroseal treatment. This is because leaky ducts pull pollutants like dust and mold into your home, which can create a health hazard. You can prevent allergy problems by having your ducts sealed with Aeroseal. Finally, having an Aeroseal treatment will help make your home feel more comfortable. Your heating and cooling system will be able to successfully deliver air throughout your living spaces. Afterwards, you will definitely notice this improvement in energy efficiency this summer.
