5.How will you clean my air system?
We start by cleaning your furnace/air handler, which is the heart of the system. This can take up to 1-2 hours. Then we will remove and clean all the vent registers in your home. After that, we have powerful air duct cleaning equipment with a long hose that stirs up and removes the debris inside the ducts. This debris is collected into our HEPA vacuum system and properly disposed. Finally, we will fog your air duct system with disinfectant, soot set sealant and deodorizer leaving your air system fresh and clean.
