Indoor Air Quality

Heating & cooling systems push air throughout your home thus impacting the indoor air quality. 

Everyday home living generates contaminants such as:

  • Pollutants
  • Dust
  • Debris
  • Dander
  • Chemicals

These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and circulated throughout your home multiple times a day. As time goes on these contaminants build up in your duct work. 

Energy Saving

Losing energy will cost you more money! According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40% of energy that is used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. 

If you don’t clean your air ducts the contaminants will cause your system to work harder thus shortening its life.  

A cleaned system does not have to work as hard to maintain the temperature. As a result, less energy is used, and money is saved!
