Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Air Duct Services

Air Duct Clean Up provides service by well-trained technicians. Our machines are of advanced technology for air duct cleaning services, and our technicians are certified to use this equipment. We primarily use Rotobrush® BrushBeast™ and Air-Care™ Negative Air Machines. These are made in the US and provide the best solution for comprehensive cleaning without any dirt residues left. One of the effective features of the BrushBeast is its 420 RPM brush and four vacuum motors. This enables the technician to remove every dust, dirt, debris, pet dander, pollen and any other pollutants that are stuck in the air ducts and vents by sucking them, thereby making them unable to escape. We use the Negative Air Machine to remove the toxic gases, which creates a vacuum in the air duct, thus allowing better air filtration. The process ensures radon, carbon monoxide, and other air pollutants and pathogens are separated from the filtered air to create a fresh air duct and enhance indoor air.

Irrespective of whether it’s a residential or commercial HVAC ductwork installation, it is mandatory to maintain compliance with building codes and appropriate regulations. While there are no such Federal HVAC ductwork codes, there are state and local codes which need to be complied with during HVAC air duct installation. Our Air Duct Clean Up experts are aware of these codes and will abide by them when providing HVAC air duct installation services. We always adhere to the rules and regulations to ensure our customers are not penalized for not conforming to the codes.

It is recommended not to clean the chimney using a creosote sweeping or cleaning log since they cannot substitute for a professional chimney sweeping service. While chimney logs can loosen the creosote in the chimney flue, they will fail to do a comprehensive cleaning. To get the job done, where your chimney is completely clean without any blockage, we recommend hiring a professional chimney cleaning service or Air Duct Clean Up if you reside in Texas.

It is impossible to clean the home’s air effectively with an ultraviolet air purifier by placing it in a room because of the volume of the air and the way it is dispersed throughout. To enjoy the 100% effectiveness of the UV Air Purifier, it is best to keep it in the operating area of the HVAC system. This will enable the UV Air Purifier to condition and clean the air, allowing the entire home to receive fresh air.

Direct and prolonged exposure to UV light harms all living organisms, hence people too. However, the design of Air Duct Clean Up’s UV Air Purifier is done to keep people safe. Furthermore, the placement of the UV Air Purifier in the HVAC system’s operating area ensures it can operate safely without causing direct exposure to the people and pets in the home.

It is essential that the dryer vent duct or tubing is made of metal for the dryer. Furthermore, a metal fastener or tape should connect the tube to the dryer. Plastic tubing or ducts must be avoided in every circumstance when installing dryer vents because they are fire hazards. We recommend mostly aluminum foil ducts because they are cost-effective and the tubes are flexible. Aluminum tubing offers collapsable features and ridges on the sides. There are also periscope and slim ducts, where the former is used when the distance from the dryer to the external vent is not long, and the dryer is close to the wall. For tighter spaces, slim ducts are recommended. There is also another type of duct, rigid metal duct, used for concealed areas like the home’s floor, ceiling, or wall. Contact us so our experts can look into your dryer and dryer vent requirements and offer the right ducting and tubing service to ensure higher rates and smoother air passing.

Where should we place the UV Air Purifier in our home?
It is vital for the homeowner to get their attic insulated because, without it, the indoor quarters of the house fail to retain optimal temperature despite having an HVAC working efficiency. Hence, you should hire a professional attic insulation installation company to address the specific requirements of the insulation. Typically, the amount of attic insulation installattion is determined by these factors:
• Number of walls
• Length and width of walls
• Number of windows
• Length and width of windows
• Number of doors
• Length and width of doors
• The climate of the region

It depends on you, but our work does not require you to leave the house. There can be some noise when removing old attic insulation since we pull it out and vacuum the place. However, our attic insulation installation team is professional and well-trained to maintain low noise and keep the house comfortable. We also sanitize the place, and the process is pet-friendly, where you do not have to worry about you or your furry friends coming in contact with any hazards while we are at work.

The AC should be checked and cleaned just before the spring/summer and autumn/winter. It enables the smooth running of the AC while preventing it from any breakdowns and expensive repairs. During the AC cleaning, our licensed and trained technician cleans the coils and checks for any leakages and the refrigerant level. All the electrical components and the gas level are checked to ensure the AC can perform at its optimal level and is safe. If required, the technician will suggest and can clean or change the filters, but it is also advised if there are pets at home, clean the filters often in between the AC tune-ups.

Covering the AC unit outdoors during the fall and winter is recommended mainly if you live in an area where it snows, but remember the cover should be breathable. The objective is to protect the blades from snow or ice build up during the season. We advise you to call a professional like Air Duct Lean Up to get it covered if required.
