Air
Quality & Your Health
Many people have allergic
reactions to pollen, bacteria, dust mites and mold.
These particles, along with other invisible pollutants,
settle in the air ducts and are re-circulated every time
the furnace blower is operating. Cleaning and
disinfecting your ductwork not only eliminates most
contaminants but also can improve the efficiency of your
air conditioner and furnace by improving air flow.
Leading medical authorities
acknowledge that moisture and contaminants found in HVAC
systems serve as ideal breeding grounds for mold, germs,
fungi and other harmful microbes. This poses a major
health risk to those who suffer from allergies, asthma,
immune system deficiencies and other chronic illnesses,
as well as to small children and the elderly.
Medical studies have confirmed
that some diseases, including Legionnaire's Disease,
originate in and are spread by contaminated ventilation
systems.
Doctors, particularly
allergists, now commonly prescribe HVAC and air duct
cleaning as a remedy for
health problems related to indoor air quality.
Are these
microscopic fungi in your lungs right now?

How Clean is
the Air You Breathe?
Duct Cleaning could be the healthiest home
improvement you will ever make.
- FACT - Indoor Air Quality (IAQ),
Sick Building Syndrome and Building Related
Illness are emerging as critical health,
environmental and legal issues throughout
the world;
- FACT - Environmental Protection
Agency studies show that indoor air may be
as much as 100 times more polluted than
outside air;
- FACT - Improperly cleaned and
maintained ventilation systems allow
microbes to bleed. This leads to a host of
serious medical problems including: asthma,
allergies, skin rash, fatigue, tuberculosis
and legionnaires disease;
- FACT - A recent national NIOSH
study found that more than 50% of IAQ
problems were related to poor ventilation;
- FACT - The world Health
Organization estimates that 30% of the
world's modern buildings are plagued by
indoor air pollution;
- FACT - IAQ litigation increases
every year; and recent IAQ lawsuits have
commanded hefty settlements. Businesses are
faced with ever more stringent
responsibilities in providing employees with
a safe work environment;
- FACT - It is estimated that poor
air quality directly results, on an annual
basis, in $1 billion in medical costs and
$60 billion in employee sick leave and lost
production.
- FACT - Most people spend 60% to
90% of their time indoors. (American Lung
Association)
- FACT - More than 50 million
Americans suffer from allergies. The level
of some hazardous pollutants in indoor air
has been found to be up to 70 times greater
than in outdoor air. (USEPA)
- FACT - Children and the elderly
are especially affected by polluted indoor
air. (Department of Consumer Affairs)
- FACT - Studies have shown that
two out of three indoor air quality problems
involve the HVAC system. Mold, pollen and
dust are just a few of the ingredients that
make up the refuse in your heating & air
conditioning duct system. Duct cleaning
provides allergy relief, eliminates odors,
reduces dust & house work.
Did You
Know...
 Although
complying with standards to improve
indoor air quality may cost as much as 8
Billion Dollars a year, this will be
offset by 15 Billion Dollars in savings
from increased worker productivity,
fewer sick days, and lower health care
costs. (OSHA) |

New Service!!!
Dryer
Vent & Central Vacuum Cleaning !
Why
clean the dryer vent ?
A plugged dryer vent can cause excessive heat build up within the vent itself and the drying appliance , resulting in possible fire.
A dirty vent , however , is only one link in possible chain of events that may include: excessive lint build up inside the dryer , a missing or damaged lint screen , a crushed hose behind the dryer and a failure of thermostat and limit switch in the dryer.
How often do dryer vents need cleaning ?
The more efficiently a dryer vent exhausts air , the less lint build up in it.
Generally, short exhaust better than long ones and full size dryers exhaust better than smaller stack dryers. For obvious reasons , newer dryers may exhaust better than older ones. Vents with multiple turns and elbows are likely to build up more lint. Very short vents attached to full size dryers may rarely need cleaning. Most vents , however , require annual cleaning.
Is vinyl or foil ducting safe ?
No. Plastic or foil flexible duct ( cheap and easy to install ) might seem like just the thing for exhausting a dryer, it isn’t. This type of exhaust duct , which resembles a plastic covered slinky toy can pose a serious fire hazard since it is susceptible to heat failure , collapse and generally causes an undue amount of lint to adhere to it’s inner surface thereby prone to becoming completed clogged.
| Your Air Ducts May Be Contaminated, If . . . |  |
Your vent covers and their surrounding areas look darkened, dusty, stained or corroded;
You frequently suffer allergy and respiratory sicknesses;
The surfaces of tables and furniture get dusty immediately after cleaning;
You use disposable filters as opposed to high-efficiency filters in your central heating and air conditioning system;
Your return air compartment or fan area is dirty;
Your house or office retains musty, unpleasant odors when it's clean.
