Why having your heat and cooling air duct system cleaned and disinfected?

 

 Air vent Cleaning And Disinfecting

WHY??

A large portion of the dust you see collecting on your kitchen countertops,  tables, TV, windowsills, and on those picture frames that are so hard to get clean is made primarily from dead human skin cells. In other words,




 your house is filled with former bits of yourself and everyone else who has ever lived in your house.
This then collects in your air ducts and is recycled every time your system runs. 

A person will shed more than 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms) of dead skin in one year. It gets even grosser: Your house is filled with trillions of microscopic life forms called dust mites that eat your old dead skin. 


Next time you change your furnace filter, look at it. If you see a lot of grey dust, that's an accumulation of dead skin. I don't mean to be gross, but it is disgusting, to be honest with everyone. People are unaware of things like this, and having them cleaned and disinfected is not that expensive.

The Complete Guide to Choosing an Air Duct Cleaning Service


If you're starting to feel the effects of poor indoor air quality in your home, it may be time to call up a local air duct cleaning service. But before you call the first company that shows up in the search results, it's crucial to research your options to find the best value.

Air duct cleaning is a complex process, which is why we rely on professionals in the first place. When someone without enough air duct cleaning experience tries to tackle the job, they could end up creating significant damage and expensive HVAC issues. On top of that, if they don't know what they're doing, they may make the indoor air quality issues even worse!

You put your health and your wallet at risk if you don't research air duct cleaning companies in your area. Save yourself the frustration of a bad experience with this guide on finding the right professionals to clean your air ducts.

When Should You Call an Air Duct Cleaning Service?

You should have an air duct cleaning once every 3-5 years. If you suffer from asthma and allergies, you may need more frequent service to maintain a tolerable air quality level.

It can be hard to assess if you need an air duct cleaning because of the limited access to the lines running through your crawlspace and structure. If you're uncertain about whether or not it's time to call in a cleaning company, you can test the air quality yourself or have a professional do an evaluation. That will tell you if there are any allergens, mold, or other contaminants that may be linked to your air ducts.

Choosing the Right Duct Cleaning Company

Air duct cleaning takes more than scrubbing and sweeping the inside of your air ducts. If you take that approach, you'll make your air problems even worse by loosening and agitating dust that will then get blown back into your house.

Professional duct cleaners use high-powered vacuum equipment and industrial duct cleaning tools to remove debris and contaminants without putting your home at risk. Some go a step further in disinfecting air ducts and treating them for mold and microbes they find in the system.

It takes knowledge and skill to not only clean air ducts but to find solutions to air duct issues to support their long-term performance. That's why it's crucial to discern quality air duct cleaning services from those that only seem like a good value.

The best way to ensure a positive air duct cleaning experience is to create a shortlist of potential providers. Here are the essential points to check as you build that list.

Background Checks, Licenses, and Insurance

The only air duct services you should consider are those with proper business licenses and liability insurance. If you're finding a company on Google, it's a safe bet that they have those credentials, but you should always double-check. Without adequate assurances in place, you could end up with a massive legal headache if the technician damages your property.

Whenever you invite a professional to work on your home, it's critical to ensure they're experienced and reliable. Check the company's "About Us" section to see how they hire team members and perform background checks. When companies thoroughly vet their technicians, it offers confidence that they have your best interests in mind. 

Look at Certifications

After assessing their authenticity as a business, you should check your duct cleaner's capacity as an expert. There are many certifications from various organizations, but the main ones to look for come from the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). The NADCA offers two types of certifications:

  • Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) for individual air duct cleaners and HVAC hygiene experts
  • Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) for individual HVAC inspectors

Most certifications need to be renewed each year, so check that each service's accreditations are up-to-date. If they have industry recognition, most companies proudly display awards and certifications on their website.

Online Reviews

Reading online reviews will give you an unfiltered look at each air duct cleaning service. Check Google, Yelp, Angi, and other review sites to learn about other customers' air duct cleaning experiences.

Get an idea of each service providers' authority by looking into their number of reviews and the recency of each one. A company that boasts a high amount of 5-star reviews from the recent past will likely give you a better experience.

Reviews are crucial because you get an unbiased account from people in your situation. That's why, with each air duct cleaning service, you should look at their most recent negative reviews. You can get an excellent idea of common complaints and what to watch for so that you'll be ready with the right questions. 

Process and Promises

Once you've got your shortlist of companies from searching reviews and credentials, you can talk with each one about your needs.

Ask about each company's process for cleaning your air ducts. How long will it take, and what kind of team will come out? What duct cleaning tools do they use, and will they treat for contaminants as well?

Understand what each company does to clean your ducts and stand by their work. If they can clean quickly and thoroughly and offer some guarantee on their work, they will likely be an excellent value.

Cost Comparison

Of course, the quality of the work is only one side of the value of an air duct service. The other side is the monetary cost, and for many people, this is the most critical consideration. Look for a price that sounds reasonable for the work you need. 

Some prices may be extremely low, even below $100. But if you don't understand the company's processes, you'll end up disappointed with the experience. We recommend leaving the cost comparison until the end, so you can be sure not to be so blinded by a great price that you miss out on exceptional service.

When Was Your Last Air Duct Cleaning?

If you can't remember the last time you've had an air duct cleaning, it's a great time to call in a professional. Getting your air ducts clean could improve your indoor environment in ways you never thought possible. Follow our tips on finding the best air duct cleaning service near you, and you'll be sure to have an excellent experience.

Air Duct Cleaning in Billings, Mt.


 

Let's look into air vent cleaning 

    What can you expect when you have your vents and returns cleaned by a professional duct cleaning company. Finding a qualified company can be half the battle. You will find quite a few nonqualified people trying to fit the bill, but it takes a real knowledge of heating and cooling systems, how they are run and why they run the way they do. After all, 99% of a ventilation system is hidden from view, so a good understanding is very useful.  The one thing that can happen with inexperienced duct cleaners is when they back plunge the debris back, and it drops down into the heating chamber. When this happens, all that dust will be forced through your system and fill your home with the dust and debris in your vents, and it happens very easily. A kid that worked a year or two is not a qualified company, so as in almost all cases, buyer beware.

When you see an accumulation of dust settling on your tabletops shortly after dusting is a sure sign you need your vents cleaned. Or in the morning when the sun is low creating a ray of sunlight that is full of particles is another sure sign to have your system cleaned. You will find that you don't need to dust as often as prior to the cleaning and my clients are really happy about that. 


    First, let's just ask, what is in my ducts? The one thing I can say is in the dust system of every home or place of business is dead skin. When you change your air filter and you see all that grey dust, well, that's dead skin. So every person who has ever lived in that house has been distributing a fair amount of dead skin in your air ducting system, and to add to that, dust mites live on dead skin. You can also add a good amount of pollen, sheetrock dust, paint overspray, construction debris, dog, and cat dander, 



    Another aspect is having your heating and cooling system sanitized. After the vents are cleaned, we will disinfect using our patented system that actually goes down each vent and after deep in the system, we switch to the liquid "100% natural BENEFECT" and spray an even distribution of disinfectant on the inside walls of your heat duct system. Sound pretty good, doesn't it? see our comparison videos.


    

 
    The health risk of doing nothing would seem minimal, but your lungs are the final filter. The results of doing nothing to improve the air quality in your home will pop up later but you can't escape the damage done, long term if you do nothing to improve the air quality in your home and workplace. Do your research, whether your search engine is google.com, yahoo.com, or bing.com you can find information very easily on indoor air quality.

Without a doubt, the # 1 reason for having us come to clean and disinfect the ductwork in the new home you're moving into is DEAD SKIN and the DUST MITES that live on it.

Spring Cleaning in Bozeman, Montana



What is the one thing overlooked every year when spring cleaning?

Air Duct Cleaning

 That's right, cleaning your air ducts is the one thing that is missed year after year and is the most contaminated air recirculation mechanism in your home, or place of business. 

What is in your air ducts? 

  • Dead skin (everyone who lives or lived in your home shed around 8 lbs of skin/year)
  • Dust mites ( dust mites live on dead skin)
  • Bugs
  • Mice 
  • Mice droppings (you would be amazed at what is in your air ducts)
  • Sheetrock dust 
  • Paint overspray
  • Sawdust
How do you know you need your air vents cleaned?
  • Do you find dust settling on your tables, countertops, picture frames, furniture shortly after dusting? This is a sign you need your ducts cleaned. 
  • Have you ever seen a ray of sunlight coming through your home, and in that ray, you see billions of particulates? This is a sign you need your ducts cleaned. 
  • Do you have a foul smell that comes every time your furnace or air conditioner turns on? This is a sign you need your ducts cleaned. 
  • Do you find someone is always sick in your home? This is a sign you need your ducts cleaned, and "DISINFECTED."

DISINFECTING AIR DUCTS

Comet air duct cleaning has a new patent-pending application product and the process we call SaniJet that applies an even distribution of disinfectant in, and only in, your vent system and cold air returns. We also use a 100% natural, botanical disinfectant (BENEFECT) that is EPA certified to even kill the COVID 19 virus. 


Comet had received so much work by just word of mouth when we started disinfecting a couple years ago that today we provide this free to all our customers.

It's "SPRING"



You really don't have a real sense of spring till you spend a winter in Montana. Most people's favorite time of year for sure up here, with grass turning green, flowers coming up out of the ground, trees budding, birds chirping. It's a wonderful time of year. 
 
It's time to get the lawnmower ready, till the garden, and think about spring cleaning. And here's where I come in,

The one thing that is overlooked year after year, and is the most disgusting and dirty place in your home.
 Your furnace air ducting system.



We here at Comet air duct cleaning in Billings, Mt. work hard every day to be sure we are the top Duct cleaning company around. With solid 5 star reviews, we make it easy for our clients to see value in what we say and do. We have the only system that allows our clients to see with their own eyes what we are getting out of those ducts. We call this the "WOW FACTOR!" Add to this is our patent-pending disinfecting application tool called SaniJet. With this applicator, Comet goes deep into each vent and sprays an evenly distributed mist of 100% 
all-natural, botanical disinfectant (BENEFECT)

We started off charging $30 / vent for disinfecting because it was the same, if not more, work than the cleaning. After a while, we did 1/2 off sale and did a lot of disinfecting jobs. Two things happened, 
1- we got very good at it, became very efficient and 
2- Comets business doubled in just word of mouth. 

I discovered that people don't talk much to their friends about how much dust, dead skin, dust mites, bugs, mice droppings, sheetrock, and paint overspray they saw coming out of their air vents.

 But if they suffer from allergies, asthma, sinus, or breathing issues, our disinfecting was amazing, so much so they were telling all their friends. I have had them actually tell me their home became their sanctuary. We love this so much that Comet now does it for free. 

We want everyone to experience this. It's a wonderful feeling to know we are able to help people and make life much better, especially in their own home.
