Air Duct Cleaning Milton, Ontario

It’s crucial to have clean air both in private indoor spaces like our homes and also in public ones. However, we cannot always be sure of the quality of air outside–even places where we spend a lot of time, such as work, school, or restaurants. The good news is that there are things we can do to make sure the air at home is fresh and free from dust or harmful germs.

Many people take this need for granted and assume that the air in our homes is clean, unless something looks or smells wrong. Because of this idea, many homeowners in Canada don’t see the importance of regularly (or at all) investing in professional AC duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning services. Below are some benefits to each that may help change your mind.

What are the Benefits of Duct Cleaning in Milton?

Health – Dust mites, pollen, germs, and lint can all thrive in dirty air ducts. Dust particles are one thing, but other tiny invisible yet harmful things such as pollen, bacteria, fluff, and dust mites are present as well. If you have pets at home, add pet dander to the list of expectorants.

Both youngsters and adults are susceptible to the effects of all these toxic pollutants floating in the air. AC duct cleaning can help protect you and your family from the negative health consequences of breathing unclean air.

Energy Efficiency – Not only is air duct cleaning in Milton good for your health, but it’s also great for your wallet. Cleaner ducts mean less dust build-up and improved energy efficiency, leading to lowered home heating and cooling costs.

The air in your home must circulate through various components of your HVAC system as part of the normal heating or cooling process. Dust particles begin to accumulate on these components over time, slowing them down and impairing their performance. Cleaning helps to remove dust particles and other debris that collect on the components of the HVAC system, ensuring that it is performing at its peak energy efficiency.

Is duct cleaning necessary?

Well, aside from promoting a healthy and safe environment for you and your family, the air duct cleaning process also enables you to maintain a pleasant home temperature while using minimal energy.

Does cleaning air ducts help with allergies?

Clean air has additional health benefits such as minimizing bacterial infections, allergic colds, coughs, asthma, fever, headaches, and other problems.

What are the Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning?

Safety – If you don’t clean your dryer vent regularly, it may surprise you to know that this increases the risk of household fires. Many people think that as long as there is a lint trap, they’re in the clear. However, much of the lint actually escapes the trap and goes into the ductwork where it builds up over time.

As it clogs the vent, it becomes a fire hazard. Dryer vent cleaning in Milton helps prevent these risks by minimizing collected debris such as lint.

Efficiency – Over time, dryer vents collect dust and lint which then causes the vent to become clogged. This not only prevents air from escaping but also makes your dryer work harder since it now has to strain more to perform its regular functions. The increased use of energy naturally means higher energy bills for you as well. So, want to save some money? Have your dryer vent or duct cleaned more often so that your dryer can work at full efficiency and lower those pesky energy bills.

Durability – A clean dryer vent reduces the amount of work your dryer has to do. It not only cuts down on the energy used for drying, but it also lowers the strain on its components and parts. An unclean dryer vent, on the other hand, can shorten the life of your machine by causing more wear and tear. By getting your dryer vent cleaned as well as saving money on replacing a new dryer sooner, you’ll be able to enjoy long-term durability.

In short, professional dryer vent duct cleaning provides many benefits including shortened drying times, increased safety for your family, and cost savings. It is more economical to spend a small amount on professional dryer vent cleaning than it is to pay for costly repairs from fire damage or higher energy consumption.

Climate Works uses a 9 Step Process to ensure your ducts are clean, you are satisfied with the service, and you breathe healthy air.
Here it is:

1.Introductions & Setup: Meet your expert technician and let know of any issues with your HVAC system, or areas where they should be ESPECIALLY careful. Depending on the type of home you live in, we will either use our HyperVac Truck-Mounted Vaccum System or bring in a Portable Abatement Unit. The duct cleaning technician will then run an 8″ vacuum hose from the truck (or portable unit) to the ductwork in your furnace room. The technician will then cover all of the vents in your home to produce the maximum amount of suction when it comes time to clean each supply vent. The covers ensure dust stays out of the interior of your home while we clean the system.  

2. Turn on the Vacuum: Your technician will then cut a hole in the ductwork (Don’t worry! We will repair it!), take before pictures (with only your permission), then they will secure the vacuum hose the main supply duct. A high-pressure airline is run to a supply vent on the upper-level of your home. The technician will then power on the truck-mounted vacuum and compressor. Operating the equipment is loud at times, but don’t worry! It is outside, and you will barely even hear it. 

3. Push Dirt from Supply Vents to the Main Supply Duct: The duct cleaning technician will travel to each of your supply vents with a tool we call a “push-whip.” A push-whip consists of several open-ended rubber tubes and is attached to the end of a high-pressure airline. The whip is inserted into a vent. When the technician opens the airline valve, air rushes out of each of the multiple open-ended rubber tubes, whipping them around your ductwork. This action loosens up any existing dust, dirt, and mould spores, and forces them into the main-supply vent.

4. Clean the Main Supply Duct: After all the supply vents are clean, the technician will proceed back to your furnace room. He will switch from a push-whip to a pull-whip. A pull-whip is much the same as a push-whip except the rubber tubes are pointing rearwards, allowing for the technician to pull dirt back towards the vacuum hose connection. All the dust from your ductwork is sucked through the vacuum hose and into a truck-mounted HEPA vacuum bag.

The technician then detaches the hose from the main air supply duct and takes pictures of the interior of the ductwork to ensure visual cleanliness.

5. Clean the Air Return Vents: The technician will cut another small hole in your main return duct and take before pictures of the duct’s interior. The vacuum hose is then connected to the main return duct. The same process, as described in Step 3, is repeated, but on the air returns. Commonly, return air runs are open spaces located in-between studs in your wall. If you hear a strange sound coming from inside your wall, don’t be alarmed! The noise is just the whip doing its job.

6. Clean the Main Return: The same process using the pull-whip as described in Step 4 is performed but within the main return duct. The technician then detaches the hose from the main supply duct and takes pictures of the interior of the ductwork to ensure visual cleanliness.

7. Air Handler and Coil Cleaning: Now that your duct work is thoroughly inspected and visually clean, the technician will open your furnace door. The technician will inspect your filter, and vacuum out any remaining debris within your air handler unit or sitting atop your coil.

8. System Sanitization: The technician will then go back to each supply and return vent in your home and proceed to sanitize your ductwork. He will then sanitize both the main supply air and return air ducts. 

Our system sanitization process removes any bacteria, mould spores, and or unwanted odours that may have been present in your ductwork.

9. Clean-Up and Goodbyes: The technician will repair any holes that were cut in your ductwork and seal the patches airtight. All equipment is returned to our truck. The technician will then perform a walk-through to ensure no tools, material or mess were left behind. You will then be shown the before, and after photos of your ductwork, so you know for sure the job was done right.
