This is an actual picture from one of your local neighbor's air ducts. What do your ducts look like?

What can you do? There are proven techniques that can drastically decrease dust and improve your indoor air quality.

First, Clean the Ducts

The first step is to remove the build up from your ductwork by having it cleaned. Duct cleaning can literally remove pounds of unwanted dust and debris that occupy a homeowner's ductwork. Our process uses a full color video inspection system that ensures we remove all of the contaminants from your duct system:

1. We take each section of ductwork and send a custom sized brush through it.

2. The brush scrubs the walls of the ductwork and simultaneously suctions the debris out with a high-powered HEPA vacuum unit.

3. Our equipment then gives you detailed internal pictures of your duct work.

An 800 - 1200 square foot home normally takes about 4 - 5 hours to completely clean. A 1200 - 2000 square foot home takes about 6 - 8 hours.

The best part is that this process lasts. On average, professional duct cleaning should not have to be done again for ten or more years. Homes with many pets, special hobbies (like woodworking) or high traffic may need to be done more frequently; but the average homeowner can rely on it lasting ten years.

Add Quality Air Cleaning

We suggest that a good quality air cleaner be added to the system. This helps prevent dust from getting circulated throughout the house and settling back in the ductwork. There are even ultraviolet air cleansing systems that kill virus and bacteria. Your choice of solution depends on how much improvement you are looking for and what budget you have to work with.

Warranties

M&T has both manufacturers warranties and optional extended warranty on both parts and labor.

Do you ever wonder why you have to dust so often? Have you ever smelled an awful odor when your furnace first kicks on? Do you experience a lack of energy when you spend a lot of time indoors? If you've said YES to any of the above, you could be a prime candidate for duct cleaning and sanitizing.

Your duct system is one of the most neglected areas of your home. Ductwork is nearly impossible to access and you can only clean about an arms length into it. Years of built up, baked on dust and debris find their way into your duct system and can cause poor indoor air quality. In worse case scenarios, a home or a building can have SBS or Sick Building Syndrome. Sick Building Syndrome can cause people to feel sick while they occupy a building or home that has poor indoor air quality. Even new homes have drywall dust, wood shavings or worse.

Mold spores, dust mites, pet hair and dander can end up in your ductwork and cause people with allergies to suffer. Even if you don't have allergies, you still end up fighting to keep your home and furnishings clean. Take the TV screen test. Can you write your name in the dust stuck to your TV screen right now?

Each time your furnace or air conditioner turns on, it's like turning on your vacuum cleaner in reverse, and blowing dust all over the house. Your furnace has a powerful blower motor that turns on when you need central air conditioning or heat. Unfortunately, the fast moving air picks up dust and debris and spews it into your home.
