The Truth About Air Duct Cleaning
Wake up, People!
Did you know that your heating and air system runs 90% of the year? This system is the respiratory system of your home, which means that what your home is breathing in, so are you.
If you are frequently experiencing headaches, scratchy throat, coughing, sneezing, etc., it could be because the air in your home is polluted with dust and grime. This is the number 1 reason why you should have your ventilation system cleaned every two years, and also how we can help you, your family and your pets.
When you call a professional company like Induct Industries — one that is nationally certified with years of experience — we do not just stick a hose in your vents and call that Air Duct Cleaning. We look at all the components of your ventilation system including the Blower Motor, Cooling Coil, Filter Housing, Trunk Lines, Duct Lines and even all of your Vent Covers on both the Supply and Return Side of your system.
Let us let you in on a little secret… the Air Scrubber!
Why would you brush your teeth and not use toothpaste? Having your ventilation system cleaned is only half of what you need to do to achieve a healthy Indoor Environment. Once your system is thoroughly cleaned, we then install the Air Scrubber. What the Air Scrubber does is keep the air clean going through your ventilation system for that two year period while doing double-duty disinfecting surfaces like your kitchen counter top, door knobs, light switches, etc. all year round. Think about it — if your ventilation system is killing 99% of the germs in your home, would that not decrease the amount of illnesses that you and your family suffer?
Let us show how affordable it can be.
An average size, one zone, three-to-four bedroom home will have an average cost of $ 1060 for the air duct cleaning and Air Scrubber. If you divide that by 24 months, that’s only $44 per month! Most people spend that on allergy medications and disinfecting sprays and still have an unhealthy indoor environment.

Sanitizing ~ Do you need it ?
The answer to the above question is ‘maybe’. Sanitizers are chemicals that are highly regulated by the EPA, for good reasons. Most sanitizers are biocides. Bio meaning ‘life’ and cide meaning ‘kill’. For this reason we only use sanitizers when there is a good reason to do so. An example would be if you’ve had water restoration performed in your home or a rodent has found its way into your duct system. A thorough cleaning will help your Indoor Air Quality in almost every case. If you think that you need sanitizer in your system then it is probably a good idea to have an inspection done prior to the cleaning.
