Air Duct and
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Alert Air System
Inspectors are Factory Trained & Certified


What is the difference between air
duct cleaning and air system cleaning?
Beware of the ads you see touting whole house duct cleaning for
$49 or some other "too good to be true" price. This is a classic
bait and switch tactic. Even if a company does clean your air
ducts for an ultra low price, they have done you a disservice.
Why? Full service air system cleaning not only includes cleaning
out your air ducts, but must also include cleaning your
furnace/air handler. This is the heart of the air system and
must be cleaned as well.
Cleaning your air ducts WITHOUT cleaning your furnace/air
handler is the same as changing the oil in your car without
replacing the oil filter. If your furnace/air handler is dirty,
your freshly "cleaned" air ducts will instantly become dirty as
soon as you turn on your furnace or air conditioner.

Why Should I Clean My Dryer Vents?
Lint build-up in your dryer vents can cause reduced airflow,
which in turn causes overheating. When this happens the high
temperature limit safety switch cycles on and off. Most switches
weren't designed to cycle on and off continuously which can
cause them to fail.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission shows that there are an
estimated annual 15,500 fires, 10 deaths, and 310 injuries
associated with clothes dryers.
Accumulation of lint and reduced exhaust airflow provide
conditions ripe for a fire. Lint is highly combustible and one
of the main ingredients in a recipe for home-made fire starters.
Also, our technicians will inspect your system for any damaged
or disconnected system. We can also tell you if your venting
system is up to your dryer manufacturer's recommended specs and
install a dryer vent alarm for your families safety.
How
do I know if my air ducts need to be cleaned?
If anyone in your home or office suffers from allergies,
breathing or respiratory problems, or if you notice dust inside
your home or office, you should consider having your air system
inspection. If your air ducts do not need cleaning we will tell
you!
