Residential Air Duct Cleaning Los Angeles

United Air Care's Residential Air Duct Cleaning Service

If your home is more than five years old, or you can’t remember the last time your air ducts were serviced, it may be time to have your air duct system cleaned. Day after day, particles of dust, pollution from outside, and specks of dirt float around in your home and get suck up into the ventilation system, where they escape airflow and accumulate on the ducts, get caught by the air filter, or pass through the air filter and re-circulate throughout your living space. Our residential air duct cleaning services help ensure that the air you breathe inside your home is clean and more beneficial to your lungs and body.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning Los Angeles

We employ many different tools in order to provide residential air duct cleaning in Los Angeles. The use of an industrial strength vacuum is extremely helpful in sucking out loose debris that has accumulated in air ducts. Based on the condition of the air ducts, we may also employ EPA approved cleaners that kill bacteria and molds, as well as UV light cleansers that destroy bacteria and viruses upon exposure (this is useful when anyone in the house is ill.) With our residential air duct cleaning service you can sleep easy knowing that the air you’re breathing is of optimal quality.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning and Why You Need it

Most people are now aware that indoor air pollution is a growing concern for many home owners. This increased awareness has sparked growth within the air duct industry and companies are now marketing products and services intended to improve indoor air quality. Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts, registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and housing, and the air handling unit housing.

If not properly installed, maintained, and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased and spores from such growth may be released into the home's living space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them. Failure to clean a component of a contaminated system can result in re-contamination of the entire system, thus negating any potential benefits. Methods of duct cleaning vary, although standards have been established by industry associations concerned with air duct cleaning. Typically, a service provider will use specialized tools to dislodge dirt and other debris in ducts, then vacuum them out with a high-powered vacuum cleaner.
