While working for another company, Rick Strah became HVAC certified and began to build the company's air duct cleaning division. As he continued to study the different methods of ductwork cleaning, it became apparent to him that the company he worked for was using out-dated equipment and employing outdated techniques. By attending NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaner's Association) seminars, Rick discovered the best equipment and the most effective cleaning methods and he decided to form his own company to take air duct cleaning to a whole new level. He opened Advanced Furnace systems in 1995, and in 2003 changed his company's name to Advanced Air Duct Cleaning, Inc. to emphasize the fact that his company is strictly a duct and dryer vent cleaning business. We visited with Rick recently and listened as he outlined the importance of duct work cleaning and the services his company offers;
Advanced Air Duct Cleaning, Inc. specializes in improving the indoor air quality in area homes and businesses. We offer air duct cleaning with our patented "Duct Whip Cleaning" system, dryer vent cleaning and repair, air sample testing, high efficiency furnace filters, and air purification systems. We're an owner-operated company and take pride in our thoroughness and top quality workmanship.
When you turn on your furnace or your air conditioner, dust, dirt, pollen, animal dander, and other airborne contaminants are pulled into your duct system. As these contaminants accumulate, the inside of your ductwork becomes an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, mildew, mold spores, and other microbes. These contaminants are circulated throughout your home where they affect the health and comfort of your entire family and cover your entire home like a blanket. Family members suffering from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory ailments, as well as children and the elderly, are especially vulnerable to the effects of these indoor air pollutants found in the ductwork of all forced air heating and cooling systems.
We clean dryer vents to remove accumulated lint and the bird's nests that can restrict the air flow and keep your clothes dryer from operating properly. The problem with a dryer that doesn't heat properly can often be traced to an obstructed vent when the dryer itself is in proper running condition. Keeping the dryer vent clean not only saves you money through shorter drying times, but also lowers the risk of fire from the embedded lint.
Advanced Air Duct Cleaning, Inc. supplies high efficiency furnace filters that will help keep your furnace and air conditioner operating more efficiently with greatly reduced amounts of contaminants being pulled into the system and your ductwork as the unit runs. We offer ultraviolet air purification units for your entire home that connect directly to your furnace, and freestanding units that can be moved from room to room. As the air passes through these units, ultraviolet light effectively eliminates germs and bacteria as they pass through the system.
Duct cleaning provides a great many benefits as long as it's done properly, but a poor job that removes some of the contaminants while loosening many more will cause even more problems. Allergists and industry experts, including the EPA and the NADCA, recommend the removal of contaminants from the entire HVAC system every three to five years by the source removal cleaning process as the most effective way to eliminate these pollutants. Source removal simply means the thorough removal of all of the dirt and dust embedded in the ductwork and the heating/cooling unit. In addition to helping you maintain a cleaner, healthier home, source removal also enables you to benefit from lower heating and cooling bills as your HVAC system operates at full capacity with less running time. Always ask your ductwork cleaning contractor which cleaning method they plan to use. If they name any method other than source removal, you're not going to get a full clean and I'd recommend finding another contractor.
