Indoor air quality is a major concern for homeowners in West Palm Beach and all of South Florida. The air inside a typical home contains dirt, dust mites, bacteria, mold, and mildew, and the subtropical humidity only intensifies their presence. When air ducts are not cleaned regularly, your air conditioning system recycles these impurities, leading to poor air quality that can contribute to allergies and diseases. Stanley Steemer from South Florida offers air duct cleaning services throughout the West Palm Beach area to help remove particles found in air ducts with significant and beneficial results.
By cleaning the air ducts, you can expect your property's heating and cooling system to operate more efficiently. Air can more easily pass through the air conditioning system and through the air ducts when it is clean and pure. In addition, the entire ventilation system is thoroughly cleaned, which can promote the energy efficiency of your system and reduce the cost of your energy bill. As part of the duct cleaning service we offer to our valued West Palm Beach residential and commercial customers, we replace their existing air filters with advanced Lysol air filters.
These filters are designed to trap and filter particles more effectively once the system has been cleaned. Not only do they improve indoor air quality for many years, but they also neutralize odors and leave your rooms smelling cleaner and fresher.
Cleaning Air Ducts for Optimal Performance
Cleaning air ducts is recommended for all properties that have a central heating and cooling system. An air conditioning system that is well maintained on an annual basis works in the best conditions. All mechanical equipment requires regular maintenance to ensure the highest quality performance.Heating and cooling equipment that is regularly inspected and properly maintained also offers greater durability. Air duct cleaning is part of a comprehensive maintenance plan. When air ducts are overloaded with dust and dirt particles, HVAC systems work harder to prevent clogged air ducts. In wetter climates, air ducts also accumulate a certain amount of moisture in cyclical air currents as air travels through the duct system.
When moisture is added to dust, these particles accumulate over time and can create a bigger problem. To keep air ducts free of this type of build-up, it is important to clean them once a year. Air duct cleaning companies have the training and equipment necessary to remove dust, debris, and allergens from your heating and cooling system. With respect to bioaerosol reductions, homes cleaned with the air sweep method showed the greatest reduction two days after cleaning.
The smooth surfaces of these ducts facilitate cleaning and the zinc coating serves as a fungicide that prevents the growth of mold and mildew. Just as you wouldn't clean just half of the floor in your living room, you wouldn't clean part of your air conditioning system either. If all components of the system are not cleaned, the entire system can be re-contaminated, minimizing the benefits of cleaning. The shortcoming of the FIU study was that the readings were only taken immediately before cleaning, during cleaning, and two days after cleaning.
If you suspect that you may have pests in your air ducts, you should immediately remove them and clean them. It's more important to repair leaking ducts and to ensure that the condensate trays in their cooling coil are clean and draining properly. The problems originally associated with how air ducts were soiled in the first place are generally not addressed by duct cleaning methods. The EPA and most experts generally do not recommend the use of biocides, air fresheners, or cleaning agents in filters or duct systems until they are specifically approved by the EPA for that purpose.
