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.

The Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning

You want to be able to breathe good quality air in your own home, but if your air duct and HVAC systems are dirty, the quality of the air in your house may be worse than the quality of the air outside. What could be lurking inside your air ducts? Breathing irritants like mold, dust, pollen, mites, and bacteria can be in your system, and these things get circulated throughout your home whenever your heater or air conditioner is on. If you have never had your air ducts professionally cleaned, you may want to consider this service, especially if you or anyone in your household has allergies or respiratory problems. Atlas Chimney is proud to provide this service, and we use specialized tools, including brushes and vacuums, to remove all of those irritants from your air ducts. We would like to tell you about a couple of the benefits of air duct cleaning to show you how important this service can be.

Your indoor air quality will be significantly improved.

According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), up to 40 pounds of dust is created every year in a home with six rooms. All of this dust is taken into your air ducts via your HVAC system. On average, this dust and other irritants and contaminants circulate throughout your entire home about five to seven times each day. Even worse, these contaminants start to build up and accumulate inside your air ducts. For people who have allergy issues, autoimmune disorders, and respiratory problems, these irritants being circulated several times a day in the home can cause serious health concerns. Removing the accumulations of these contaminants can greatly improve the indoor air quality, and Atlas Chimney guarantees you will breathe much easier in your own home.

You will save money and energy.

Dirty vents can create a lot of efficiency problems. Whether it is your chimney, your dryer vents, or your air ducts, clogged vents can cause appliances to waste energy by working harder. The life of your HVAC system is shortened when it has to work overtime to compensate for dirty air ducts. With a clean air duct system, you will be able to enjoy comfortable air more quickly and easily and keep the temperature that you want. Your system does not have to use as much energy, and using less energy will reduce your heating and cooling bills.
