Dirt, pollen, smoke, pet hair, dust mites, and microorganisms can accumulate inside ducting over time. This can increase the occurrence of respiratory problems and illness when using heating and air conditioning systems. Clean ducting also eliminates the musty, stale smell that occurs when starting a system at the beginning of the heating or cooling season. Dust and small bits of debris may settle on your furniture after turning on the heat or air conditioning. Most systems are equipped with throw-away or washable filters. The most commonly used filters have a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) rating of 8, which removes approximately 85% of large particles and 50% of small particles. This allows a significant amount of dust to settle into your duct work. Higher MERV ratings will filter more and smaller particles and microorganisms, but they may also make heating and air conditioning systems work harder. This could shorten a system’s life span and result in increased maintenance and repair costs.

Commercial Air cleans ducting systems for both residential and commercial customers, including mobile/manufactured homes, apartment complexes, restaurants, churches, social event venues, office buildings, and industrial settings. If microorganisms need to be removed, we can also sanitize the ducting system after cleaning. Sometimes duct systems are subjected to smoke from outdoor fires. We clean out the smoke particles and treat the ducting to remove the smell of smoke.

Clean ducting systems reduce the occurrence of allergies, respiratory disorders, headaches, sinus congestion, and the spread of illnesses. Get a quote from Commercial Air for duct cleaning and soon you’ll be breathing fresh air again!
