Carpet Cleaning Benefits- AAA DUCT CLEANING

 Your carpet is basically a sponge that absorbs and holds mostly anything that it comes into contact with. Dirt, stains, and  odors can all attach  to your carpet. In this article I want to shed light on the benefits of getting your carpet cleaned by a professional.

  Carpets go through the rigorous traffic of our homes. They are stepped on by animals and humans alike,  but the question is are carpets safe and do dirty carpets affect my homes indoor air quality? I really don't have the answer for that but we can simulate in our  imaginations what it's like to be a carpet. 

For example,  a family of four with the dog traversing on a carpet for year or more will in most cases manifest high traffic stains, pet odors, pet stains, and an overall abused look. We can all imagine a child coming indoors from playing outside. the child's shoes and clothing may discard debris and other allergens throughout the carpet. Visualize a potty trained dog that just couldn't make it to the doggie door that moment. Urine has now penetrated the carpet and has caused a slight odor. As you can see our carpet has gone through a lot in the past year. So, built-up debris and allergens may cause issues with indoor air quality. 

 The benefits of having professionally cleaned carpets are as follows:

  •  High traffic stain removal
  •  Pet stain removal
  •  Pet odor removal
  •  Dust mite reduction
  •  Allergen and debris removal
  •  The rejuvenation of the carpet itself
 The cost of carpet cleaning is small compared to the benefits gained from a professional carpet cleaning. for as low as $25 a room a homeowner can have their whole house professionally steam cleaned without breaking the bank and gaining all the benefits of quality indoor air and a clean new looking carpet.

The Benefits of Having Your Chimney Cleaned During Winter Months- [By AAA Duct Cleaning San Antonio]

Having your chimney cleaned has many benefits to you the homeowner. A properly operating chimney is very important during the winter months. Having a professional clean and inspect your chimney will ensure proper operation and safety of the chimney. 

The benefits of having your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional are as follows:


  •  Proper creosote removal that reduces chimney fire ignition.
  •  Proper damper operation.
  •  Proper draft of the chimney.
  •  Chimney Mortar and firebox inspection.
  •  Proper chimney Installation and operation to keep rodents and harsh weather outside.
 The items above are just an example of the benefits of having your chimney cleaned by a professional. Proper creosote removal reduces the chances of chimney fires,  which is one of the greatest benefits a chimney sweep offers. Creosote is the byproduct of wood burning. The creosote lines the inside of the firebox and flue and is highly combustible so cleaning the firebox and flue helps prevent possible accidental combustion of creosote buildup.

 Proper damper operation is a benefit a professional chimney sweep offers and ensures that when the chimney is not in operation a barrier is operational to prevent the loss of conditioned air inside the home from escaping. A proper operational damper is important for home energy efficiency.

 a properly drafting chimney is very important when burning logs in the chimney. Smoke from a newly ignited fire needs to be drafted to the outside. A poorly drafting chimney will allow smoke to Balogh into the living space causing smoke damage. Having a properly sized flue to firebox is very important and a professional chimney sweep will inspect that for the homeowner giving peace of mind that everything is safe.

 The mortar in your firebox and the chimney must be maintained to ensure proper safety. A poorly maintained firebox can be a fire hazard due to large cracks in the firebox mortar. A professional chimney sweep will inspect your firebox and chimney to make sure it is safe for operation.

 Proper chimney installation and operation is vital to keep rain and other harsh weather outside. In addition, a chimney prevents rodents and birds from entering the home. Having a professional chimney sweep inspect and check that your chimney is correctly installed can save the homeowner time and money.

Air Duct Sealing Benefits

 Hi, my name is Daryle Wattson and I wanted to touch bases on the subject of air duct sealing. Air duct sealing is the process of ensuring all ductwork is physically without  air leaks resulting in optimal airflow through all supply ducts.Air duct sealing should be performed by an experienced  HVAC technician.

 An example of a home that may need air duct sealing is as follows:
  •  Rooms experiencing low to no airflow
  •  Colder than normal rooms[in heating mode]
  •  Warmer than normal rooms[in cooling mode]
  •  Old ductwork
  •  New System Installation
  •  Low CFM
  The benefits of air duct sealing can be apparent through lowered energy bills due to the cooling or heating of an area quicker.  Since properly sealed air ducts do not allow air to leak the conditioned air will be directed into the spaces that are in need of cooled or heated air. Proper air duct sealing increases the airflow to the space, which increases the CFM causing the room to be conditioned faster and more efficient. Sealing old ductwork will help reduce air leaks and improve system efficiency, which will reduce energy bills on a monthly basis  saving the homeowner money.

 Replacing old ductwork and improving the R-value of the insulation will greatly improve the system's efficiency. By improving the R-value of the insulation around your ductwork ensures the conditioned air stays at the conditioned temperature longer as it travels through the ductwork. An example of a poor R-value insulated duct is one were the 70 degree conditioned air has cooled as it travels through the poorly insulated duct. A homeowner does not want this, the homeowner wants the conditioned air to stay as close to the desired  temperature as possible resulting in a properly operating duct system.

Should I Clean My Dryer Vent Myself or Have a Professional do it?

Hello, my name is Daryle Wattson and I have been in the  HVAC industry for over 10 years. On the Internet I have read many question and answer articles about how to clean dryer vents and if a homeowner should clean their own dryer vent and how. In this post I will give you an example of someone with no experience cleaning their own dryer vent, okay. In addition, I will give you information on why a professional may be a better choice when cleaning a dryer vent.

 A homeowner decided to clean her own dryer vent because she was having issues with the clothes drying. It seemed that it was taking the clothes more than one cycle to dry. After reading a couple of articles online about dryer vent cleaning the homeowner decided to take matters into her own hands. The homeowner headed onto the roof with a metal pipe in hand and unscrewed the dryer vent cap. This so-called informed homeowner takes the pipe and shoves it down the dryer vent duct several times. Thinking that the duct is clean the homeowner resumes her wonderful life. A few months pass and the homeowner goes into the attic to store some boxes left over from the holidays. Once in the attic the homeowner turns on the light and discovers lint and moisture has been escaping into her attic from a broken dryer vent pipe. The homeowner now has to call a professional to repair and properly clean the dryer vent because she had only read a few articles online about dryer vent cleaning.

 Believe it or not the short story I told you was not a story but true fact. This is happening all over the country due to people not having proper training on dryer vent duct code, installation, and proper cleaning techniques. The benefits of having a professional clean your dryer vent may save you money in the long term. Shoving a pipe down the dryer duct is not the proper way to clean a dryer vent so having a professional inspect, clean, and test your dryer vent is the way to go. For little over $100 you can have a professional come to your home and do all the things that I just mentioned. The peace of mind that a professional offers should be worth the hundred dollars. Knowing your home is safe from dryer fires and condensation damage brings me to one conclusion. Having a professional clean your dryer vent at least once a year to ensure your home is safe from potential hidden dangers such as lint buildup resulting from lack of maintenance is key.
