Air Duct Cleaning in Eden Prairie and Surrounding AreasWhy should I have my air ducts professionally cleaned?
Indoor Air Quality - Think of your HVAC system as being the lungs of your home. The air in your home gets recirculated up to 7 times a day. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), "Americans, on average, spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations." Considering that on average we spend up to 90% of our time breathing indoor air, it has become a major environmental risk to humans. The EPA also lists poor indoor air quality as one of the top 5 threats to our health and safety. Any allergens, bacteria, contaminants, pest droppings, dust, or chemicals in this system are repeatedly pushed throughout your home and into the air your family breathes. With duct cleaning, we can eliminate a majority of these dangers to help better protect you and your loved ones. You may notice cleaner fresher air, as well as relief from allergies and asthma. Poor indoor air quality can be extremely dangerous for newborns, infants, children, and elderly adults. HVAC System Efficiency - Based on studies, 45% of your home energy costs come directly from your HVAC system. The U.S Department of Energy estimates that 25-40% of your HVAC energy is wasted. One reason for this is contaminants in your system, vents, furnace, and air filter that are preventing unobstructed air flow. Homeowners may see an increase in total system efficiency and decrease in energy costs after having their air ducts cleaned. How will I know that my air ducts have been cleaned? At MN Duct Pros we know we do an excellent job, but we want you to be confident in that fact too. For this reason, by request, we provide before and after photos of inside your ducts, as well as inside our vacuum to show you exactly how much dust, debris, and contaminants were removed. You may also notice fresher air, relief from allergies and asthma, and overall less dust and contaminants in your home. How often should I have my air ducts cleaned? Some duct cleaning companies in Minneapolis prematurely suggest duct cleaning every 1-3 years. Because MN Duct Pros goes above and beyond to provide the most thorough and comprehensive duct cleaning service available, we are able to extend our recommendation to every 5-7 years for average homes. We pride ourselves in using only the highest quality machines and techniques to achieve these results. In more extreme circumstances such as: older homes, concerns of rodents or mold, homes with pets, children or elderly adults, family members with allergies, or immune disorders then we may recommend more often. What process is used to clean my air ducts? We use industry leading techniques and equipment to ensure your HVAC system is safe from allergens, dust, debris, and other contaminates. First, we hook up an industrial vacuum and zone off vents to create a negative air system. We then use a combination of contact cleaning and high velocity air to scrub the inside of your ducts, vents, returns, and trunks; allowing all contaminants to be removed via our Hypervac 220 Duct Vacuum. We also contact clean each vent individually. Not only will you notice improved air quality, you may see increased allergy relief as well as energy efficiency savings.

We have turned down customers before, simply because they did not need the service at that time. Our advice and input is always free. We attempt to be as up front as possible with our pricing. On rare occasions, there are additional factors, variables, or issues that we come across once we physically check out your HVAC system or dryer vent. Some homes have more complex systems that may require additional access points, damper removal and re-installation, additional mapping, etc. We will bring these to your attention as soon as we are aware, explain the situation, and discuss all options and any increase from expected or quoted pricing before proceeding. |
