• What are the Methods of Furnace and Duct cleaning?
HOT AIRGUNTM – High Compressed Air Method: This standard furnace and duct cleaning method uses high pressure airgun that is inserted into each ductwork and pressurized air is released to blast away any debris and dust particles down the ductwork (from the highest point in the house downward), going into each and every hot air duct and cold air return register. Heavy duty suction hose is brought in and hooked up to the main plenum by the furnace area (usually in the basement), whereby all of the house contaminants and pollutants are safely extracted and delivered into our furnace truck parked outside. Furnace cleaning includes pulling out the motor and blower assembly, cleaning of burners and heat exchangers, checking the condition of any belts, and ensuring proper operation.
HOT BRUSHTM – Brushing High Compressed Air Method: This upgraded furnace and duct cleaning method is strongly recommended for homes with pets and people suffering from allergies or Asthma. This type of cleaning is an absolute must for all homes with any recent renovations and post-construction debris. The brush (with its firm bristles for good scrubbing action) will scrub the walls of each and every individual register ductwork and will blast all the debris and any attached/stuck particles (such as toys or other items that don’t belong there) with its powerful built-in air jets. As above, heavy duty suction hose is brought in and hooked up to the main plenum by the furnace area, whereby all of the house contaminants and pollutants are safely extracted and delivered into our furnace truck parked outside. Furnace cleaning includes pulling out motor and blower assembly, cleaning of burners and heat exchangers, checking the condition of any belts, and ensuring proper operation.
• What is Power Disinfectant Application?
We strongly believe in the amazing botanical powers of BENEFECT® – one and only botanical disinfectant in North America that kills over 99.99% of bacteria, mould, fungal spores and eliminates various unpleasant odours (cat pee, dead mice or dead birds, etc.). Its patented technology is derived from plants and is known to be safe to use around kids, elderly, pets and allergy sensitive people. About 89% of our customers are disinfecting their homes with this product once we complete our furnace and duct cleaning services in their home. We usually apply a single application (one per furnace) to disinfect all interconnected non-porous surfaces of the ductwork by power spraying it from the furnace level and letting it run through the entire system.
• What is Furnace Chimney cleaning?
Furnace chimney cleaning is required for efficient and proper operation of your furnace. It is also a safety issue if any unsuspected blockage of the chimney occurs, restricting the carbon monoxide to vent out completely, which may cause dangerous gases to leak inside your home. Often dead birds fall into the furnace chimney and cause partial blockage.
• What is Dryer Vent cleaning?
Needless to say that plugged dryer vents is one of the main causes of household fires. Ensure your home safety by having your dryer vent professionally cleaned with high compressed air. A cleaned and unobstructed dryer vent greatly improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer operation, which prevents the dryer from overheating and reduced its drying time.
• What is Fireplace cleaning?
Gas fireplaces require regular cleaning maintenance that consists of a safety inspection of the pilot light assembly for efficient and continued operation. All of the ugly white/foggy build-up is safely removed from all of the glass surfaces, and any dust or dirt inside your fireplace is eliminated, and then the clean glass is safely replaced back on.
Wood burning fireplace cleaning is also required for safety reasons. A cleaned fireplace chimney ensures proper and safe ventilation/elimination of combustion gases (carbon monoxide) outside of the home.
• What is Central Vac System cleaning?
To keep your central vacuum system operating efficiently throughout the house, it requires some regular cleaning to prevent any suction blockages. Vacuum system built-in air pipe walls collect dust and dirt and can become the main source of bacteria and germs in your house. We also ensure safe and maximum dust-free removal procedures of any dust collected in the main canister.
• What are Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
Often called, the “Silent Killer”, dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) gas poisoning tragedies can and must be prevented with properly operating a Carbon Monoxide Detector (CO Detector) that detects the presence of CO gas in the house and alerts any occupants.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy summer!
