Antimicrobial Commercial Robotic Duct Cleaning

Before & After cleaning

Commercial robotic duct cleaning can help your business save money on energy and improve indoor air quality by removing dirt, dust and debris from your MVAC system.

Clean ductwork is the first step in removing airborne contaminants and allergens out of the air you breathe. Hughes will clean from the point where the air enters the system to the point where it exits as part of our commercial duct cleaning process, which includes the grilles and registers, which helps to keep particles out of the ambient air.

In all types of commercial buildings, contaminants like dust, bacteria and mold accumulate in a building’s MVAC system and ductwork over time.  Dirty air ducts and coils are easy to neglect but can create costly issues for property managers, facility managers and building occupants. Constantly circulating dust, mold and pollen can lead to reduced employee productivity, illness, tenant dissatisfaction, and even turn customers and clients away from your business.

COMMERCIAL DUCT CLEANING IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF MAINTAINING GOOD INDOOR AIR QUALITY.

According to NADCA, “Indoor air quality is one concern that building managers and building inhabitants have when they decide to investigate an HVAC system. Through normal occupation in a building, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the MVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.”

A Japanese study showed that when dust accumulations in a duct exceed 0.8 millimeters, particles can begin to blow out. In addition to regularly scheduled commercial duct cleaning and MVAC maintenance, NADCA also recommends that newly installed MVAC systems or MVAC systems undergoing renovation be verified clean and protected before the building is reoccupied and the system is permitted to operate.

Why should I have my air ducts cleaned?

Some of the reasons are:

• Dirt and debris may collect in your ventilation system blocking ductwork and key components of the furnace, including the evaporator coil and blower.
• Build-up of these contaminants in the system can restrict airflow causing it to work harder and longer, thus expending more energy.
• By cleaning the entire HVAC system, you may see an increase in the energy efficiency of your system, which in some cases translates to lower utility bills. These cleanings may also extend the life of your furnace or air conditioning system by reducing wear and tear.

Why should I have my ventilation system cleaned?

Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. In a dirty ventilation system air cannot flow freely, causing the system to work harder and less efficiently. This can shorten the lifespan of your ventilation system.

Do I need to have my air ducts cleaned if my premises is new?

Surprisingly enough, yes. Construction debris is one of the most common types of contamination that we find in air duct systems. Fine particulates, such as drywall dust or sawdust, as well as other materials, can make their way into your system when the construction crews are cleaning up. The only way to thoroughly remove all of these pollutants from your system is through professional cleaning

Benefits of Robotic Air Duct Cleaning

There are many benefits to having your air ducts clean.

Indoor air pollution is now listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as the fourth greatest environmental threat to Americans. When your heating and cooling system is running, airborne contaminants are being drawn into your duct system. Over a period of time, these harmful contaminants will eventually build up inside your air ducts.

Indoor contaminants may include: dust mites, tobacco smoke, household mold, chemicals, airborne allergens, bacteria, animal dander and carbon monoxide. These contaminants are then circulated throughout your home or office and effect the health and comfort of you, your family, or your employees.

Having your air ducts cleaned, can help ellimate these problems.

• Reduce Dusting
  Source removal duct cleaning can help to reduce household dust by removing the dust where it travels most – through your air duct system.
• Improve Indoor Air Quality
  According to the EPA, indoor air is found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. Air duct cleaning by Advanced Air Care can remove airborne contaminates such as bacteria, fungus, mold spores, pet dander & pollen which may help to alleviate allergy & asthma symptoms.
• Save Energy & Save Money
  According to the EPA, a build up of only .042 inches of dirt on a heating coil can result in a decrease of efficiency of 21%. A clean air conveyance system may help to increase efficiency and therefore may help to reduce heating and cooling costs.
• Extended Equipment Life
  9 out of 10 system failures are caused by dirt and dust. One of the functions of the fan, located inside of your air handler, is to keep the heat exchanger cool. Accumulated dirt and debris can reduce the CFM (cubic feet of air per minute) as much as 50%. This is the most common cause of cracks in heat exchangers. By having your system cleaned, you may prevent pre-mature breakdown & aging of your heating and cooling system.
