Air Duct Cleaning In Collierville

A: TruClean services both residential and commercial. The difference between the two is the type of ductwork and the size of the main HVAC unit, but past that, it is essentially the same system. The big difference beyond the dimensions is the contaminants within. Rodent droppings and insects have likely found their way into the ducts along with the usual suspects.

This makes cleaning your commercial air ducts even more important. Commercial spaces may be sizeable, but the particulates from these extra problems can make for a horrible situation when air quality is crucial. Calling TruClean for commercial air duct cleaning is the best way to combat toxic air issues.

A: Along with the amount of dust and dirt in your ducts, the only other way to get clean air into your HVAC system is to have a clean inlet, which is only totally clean if your filter is fresh. Some filters help to remove allergens and can last up to three months without being swapped, but the most common air filters are only good for a single month. This varies with how much you use your HVAC.

Beware of cheap filters. They do the job, but they also let small particulates through that can combine with existing contaminates, and before long, you have a blockage. Check with TruClean to see what filter they would recommend. It is also important that if you have multiple inlets, you replace all of the filters. Each system might be independent, such as the HVAC setup for two-story homes, but they can be linked to the same power source and if one fails, it could kill them both.

A: It absolutely can. Dryers churn out significant heat and dry lint and dust are flammable under these circumstances. When the vent is clogged, the hot air has no outlet. All of this heat is in a concentrated blast into the blockage. It is similar to idling your car over a pile of dead leaves. Eventually, the heat becomes too much.

A clean vent gives the heat a direct outlet through the wall and out into the cool air beyond the home. And it maximizes your dryer’s efficiency. Without the clog, your dryer doesn’t have to work as hard.

A: Conventional wisdom suggests every few years, but if you live in an area with high humidity, lots of dust, or anywhere that can elevate the level of contaminants in your air ducts, cleaning more frequently is a good idea. Look for dirt on your air vents. If it is a constant concern, call TruClean immediately.

40 pounds of dust can accumulate yearly. This much debris can cause one whopper of a blockage, hindering your HVAC system's overall performance. Before you have to do a full HVAC overhaul, get the blockage comprehensively cleared with TruClean’s air duct cleaning services.

A: Some cleaning you can do. Vacuuming out the dryer vents for instance can be very simple, very quick, and save money. And you can try to vacuum your air ducts, but this is less than a half measure in the grand scheme. Professional cleaning is by far the best solution. They have heavy-duty vacuums, special UV light rigs, and HEPA filters to ensure that once the contaminants are out, they don’t find their way back.

A: Can you put a time frame on the measures you take to prevent respiratory illness in the home? That being said, the total time depends on the size of your home. If you have a one-story ranch home, it will take less time than a two-story Colonial. How many HVAC units will also make a difference. Give it a minimum of a few hours, and be comfortable in the knowledge that once done, your air will be the freshest it has been in months.

A: Smoking adds ash to the air, so quitting smoking will help. Keeping up with your pet dander by brushing their coats, keeping their hair short, and taking them to pet salons more frequently will help. Ventilate the home if doing any remodels, so dust and wood shavings don’t get sucked into the system. If in an area with a wind or dust storm, close the windows and make sure the doors are tight against their seals. And never let your children put things into the vents, like crayons, toys, and food, as they can assist with the growth of bacteria and mold.
