At O2PURE Air Duct Cleaning, we understand that choosing the right indoor air quality service provider involves asking the right questions. Whether you’re considering air duct cleaning for your home, business, or commercial facility, our goal is to provide clear information so you can make an informed decision.
Below you’ll find answers to common questions about air duct cleaning and the O2PURE cleaning process. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, our team is happy to provide additional information and help determine the best solution for your needs.
Over time, dust, debris, and other contaminants can accumulate inside your heating and air conditioning system. Since your HVAC system circulates air throughout your home or building, buildup inside the ductwork and air-handling components can affect the cleanliness of the air moving through the system.
Many homeowners and building owners are surprised by what can be found inside their ductwork, including accumulated dust, construction debris, pet hair and dander, pollen, and other particles that enter the HVAC system over time.
Depending on the age, use, and history of an HVAC system, ductwork may contain:
- Dust and dirt buildup
- Pet hair and animal dander
- Pollen and other airborne particles
- Construction debris from remodeling or new construction
- Fibers, insulation particles, and general household debris
- Mold or microbial growth in systems with moisture issues
Even newer homes are not always free from debris. During construction, materials such as sawdust, drywall dust, and other job-site particles can enter duct systems before the building is occupied. Older homes may have years of accumulated dust and debris inside the HVAC system.
We recommend every two to four years. If someone in your family has asthma or chronic allergies, yearly cleaning may be beneficial.
O2PURE Air Duct Cleaning expert technicians and superior equipment will get your system cleaner, in less time, than most other companies. Most home systems can be cleaned in 1 1/2 to 3 hours, with our father and son team, depending on the size of your home.
Yes. Our air duct and dryer vent cleaning services are fully guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied with the cleanliness of your system, contact us within 48 hours. We will return to re-clean the problematic areas at no additional charge*.
*Please note: Our guarantee covers debris and lint removal, not appliance repair. It does not cover mechanical dryer failures, broken heating elements, or pre-existing structural damage to the venting system, new dust accumulation after service, inaccessible areas, or conditions outside of our control. If our technician returns and determines that the ongoing issue is caused by a faulty appliance, broken heating element, or mechanical restriction rather than our cleaning work, a standard $200.00 trip charge will apply.
Our technicians take pride in leaving your property as clean as they found it. We wear protective shoe covers when working indoors, take extra care to protect flooring and surrounding areas, and thoroughly clean our work area when the job is complete.
Our many satisfied customers certainly think so. They often tell us they notice a cleaner home or workplace, less dust settling on surfaces, and improved indoor air quality in general. Often customers choose to have their air ducts inspected or cleaned every 2 to 5 years, although the ideal frequency depends on factors such as pets, allergies, occupancy, renovations, and smoke.
Our technician will need access to each register opening, an area around the furnace to work and be able to park as close as possible to the furnace. Whatever you can do to make it more accessible to get to these areas for cleaning prior to us arriving on site will speed up the overall cleaning process.
Not all air duct-cleaning companies are the same. When calling or researching to have your ducts cleaned make sure the company is cleaning your entire system. It is vital to clean the main trunk line as well as each vent line, “source removal” being the best method. The objective is the complete removal of all dirt, debris and other contaminants. Our belief is that spraying chemicals in your ducts may cause more damage to your health than if you don’t! Think about this! Would you want to breathe unknown chemicals?
Indoor air pollution can be caused by a number of different causes. Some of the most common are intakes near loading docks, dust and debris from construction, improperly maintained ventilation systems and air filtration, leakage of automotive emissions from basement garages, infectious agents in ventilation air conditioning system, vapors from cleaning and copier chemicals, and germs from the occupants themselves.
The EPA estimates that combined medical costs including lost productivity and sick leave cost businesses up to $60 billion a year. Complaints from occupants include employee sickness, including headaches, colds, allergies, nausea, and nose, throat and eye irritation. Asthma afflicts about 15 million Americans. The disease is the leading cause of childhood hospitalization and school absenteeism. (source: EPA)
