Dryer vent cleaning helps to remove lint and debris buildup inside of the dryer vent duct.This lint and debris buildup removal helps to restore ventilation back to the dryer resulting in faster dry times and better energy efficiency of the appliance. Dryer vent cleaningHim and should be done experts say at least once a year and filter traps should be examined and cleaned before use of the dryer.

 How much does dryer vent cleaning cost

Why Air Conditioning and Air Duct Annual Check Ups are Important

 Why have your air conditioning system checked annually?

 Having your air conditioning system checked annually can prevent future issues and save the homeowner time and money. Annual air-conditioning system checkups will also keep the air conditioner running properly for more years than a poorly maintenance system resulting in longevity and worry free operation. In addition, most air-conditioning system checkups consist of refrigerant charge checks, AC drain clearing, and a thorough electrical system check. Furthermore, the air-conditioning system coils are cleaned and the fins are straightened thus helping with efficiency and proper operation and airflow.

 Having your air conditioning system checked annually can reveal issues early so that the homeowner will not have to deal with them during high temperature peak months. This is important because the homeowner does not want the air conditioner broken down when the outside ambient temperature is above 100° degrees. Annual checkups will reveal a issue early and that problem can be addressed then in there without much downtime. In addition, most HVAC companies provide discounted rates when they are under an annual maintenance contract with an HVAC company. This can be very beneficial when a major repair is needed such as a leaky evaporator coil or compressor burnout which can be very expensive repairs.

 In addition, to having the air-conditioning system checked annually your air duct system should also be checked and cleaned every two – three years. The reason for this is to ensure proper airflow to all supply ducts and that there are no damaged ducts within the duct system. Having properly sealed and insulated air ducts is very important because of the heat transfer between the duct and the hot attic air. For instance, when the air is conditioned and circulated back to the AC system it must travel through the ducts and in most cases the ducts are in a non-conditioned location resulting in higher temperatures surrounding the ductwork. These higher temperatures can drop the conditioned supply air tempuratures down if the ductwork is not properly insulated and sealed resulting in higher system runtimes and higher energy bills. So having the air ducts properly sealed and insulated can and will save energy and provide with a more efficient air-conditioning system as a whole.

 The use of proper filters and air duct cleaning can prevent dirty evaporator coils and reduce allergens throughout the home. Since the indoor air is circulated on a constant basis dirt and debris is also circulated through the system, so a pleated filter should be used in conjunction with proper air duct cleaning techniques to help prevent accumulation of debris, dirt, and other pollutants.

Why Do Dryer Fires Happen and How to Protect Your Home by AAA Duct Cleaning of San Antonio

 How Do Dryer Fires Start

 Let's begin by looking at your dryer and the components that are inside. There are two types of ways that dryers dry clothing. Dryers either use a gas ignition system such as a gas furnace or an electric heating element similar to an electric heater. Both types of dryers produce a significant amount of heat which must be removed by an exhaust system which is called the dryer vent duct. Within the dryer there is a blower motor that helps remove heat, condensation, and lint from inside of the dryer through the dryer vent duct. When a blockage of the dryer duct occurs lint will accumulate inside of the dryer vent duct and within the dryer itself. During operation the heating element or gas ignition system will still ignite and create a substantial amount of heat. This heat in combination with the accumulation of lint may result in the lint igniting causing the dryer to catch fire.

 Dryer Fire Prevention

 Dryer fire prevention is probably one of the most important home maintenance tasks a homeowner can do. To properly maintain your dryer a dryer vent cleaning and inspection of the dryer vent duct, dryer vent cap, transition duct, and dryer must be done annually. It is recommended that this process be done by a professionally trained technician so that all components are checked and cleaned correctly and are working efficiently once every year.  Furthermore, making sure the transition duct is made of a semi rigid material is recommended because of its fire containment properties which will help protect your home if a dryer fire should occur.

How Much Does Professional Air Duct Cleaning Cost?



 How Do Air Duct Cleaning Companies Charge For Air Duct Cleaning?

 Air duct cleaning companies charge for air duct cleaning services by either one of two ways.
 The first is by square footage of the commercial or residential building. By knowing the square footage of the building an air duct cleaning company can determine the amount of time and labor that they should charge. So, the bigger the building or residence the more labor and time it will take the air duct cleaning company to complete the job. As a result, higher estimates will be given to bigger square footage homes and buildings than others.

 The second way an air duct cleaning company will determine the cost of air duct cleaning for a residence is by how many vents are needed to be cleaned in the home. In most cases a flat rate will be charged for the number of vents that are needed to be cleaned, if that number exceeds the flat rate number of vents then additional charges per vent will be added on top of the flat rate. Again, like the square footage method the more vents a home has the more time and labor intensive it will be to complete the air duct cleaning resulting in a higher estimate.

How To Choose the Proper Filter For My Air Conditioner or Hvac System

 What do Air-Conditioning Filters Do?

 Air-conditioning filters protect vital system components inside of your air handler. These components consist of your evaporator coil, blower motor, and heat exchanger. Without proper filtration debris, dirt,  viruses, and bacteria can be spread throughout the home. Furthermore, the lack of a proper filter will cause your indoor air quality to be poor so it is very important to have a quality filter placed within your air conditioning system.

 What are the types of filters?

  • Disposable fiberglass: ” Created from 1″-thick spun fiberglass, it does little more than prevent larger particles like dust, lint, and debris from gunking up your system. 

Pros: Very inexpensive, good for renters and those without allergies or asthma
Cons: Has little to no effect on cleaning the air
  • Pleated Filters:  pleated filters are capable of filtering up to 50% of airborne impurities. Although pleated filters are moderately priced they have the capability of lasting up to 90 days.These filters are typically made from a specially made paper or fiber that is mounted into a frame with approximate 1 inch pleats.
Pros: Can remove some small particles like spores and mites
  • Electrostatic Filters: Electrostatic filters use static electricity to filter particulates from the air. These filters contain self-charging cotton fibers that attract particles. Permanent options have  a removable, machine-washable filter that can be removed and reused for six to eight years. 

    Pros: Little waste, more effective than pleated; a good option if you use a popular size
  • Hepa FiltersHepa filters are 99.97 % dust spot efficient by the old ASHRAE Standard 52.1.   They are for particles smaller than .30 microns( bacteria and large virus).
 Indoor Air Quality and Air Filters.

 Choosing the right filter is vital for improving indoor air quality. Using a quality pleated filter, electrostatic filter, or HEPA filter will help maintain a lower particulate parts per million in your indoor air. For individuals with allergies a disposable fiberglass filter will not be the best choice since fiberglass filters are just made to filter large particles. HEPA filters would be the best choice for people with allergies since this particular filter has the filtration capacity of .30 µ(microns)  and 99.97% dust spot efficiency. In addition, maintaining your system and changing your filters regularly will improve your system's efficiency and indoor air quality while keeping vital system components inside your air handler clean and debris free.

Health and Air Duct Cleaning The Correlation: Scenerio

There's been a debate about the correlation between air duct cleaning and health. The EPA currently states that there is no proof that having the air duct system cleaned improves inhabitants health. Although there have been no case-by-case studies involving individuals with allergies to specific things such as dust mites, insects, or pet hair. So for this article I will write a scenario about individuals that may be allergic to one of the above mentioned allergy triggers.

Scenario:

Robert and his wife have just bought a home and begin to see changes in their health such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and respiratory issues. Robert decides to call a carpet cleaning company to clean the carpets and rid his home of allergens. The carpet cleaning goes well and Robert thinks everything is going to be fine. A couple of days pass and the previous symptoms persist and so Roberts wife suggests to have the air ducts cleaned. A professional air duct cleaning company comes to Roberts home and reveals that Robert has an accumulation of dust and pet dander in the ducts and air handler. This professional  air duct cleaning company uses agitation to remove the dirt and dander from the ducts.  The technician recommends a UV purification light to help sterilize the air to help kill any germs and viruses that may recirculate through the duct system during normal operation. Robert reluctantly agrees to install a UV purification system on top of the air duct cleaning. The technician also recommends purchasing a better air filter that will filter particles more efficiently. the technician suggests a pleated filter with a merv rating of 6 to 13 for 13 being the best. After completing the cleaning and assessing the technician leaves and a week passes and the symptoms have gone.

 This is just a scenario that could possibly happen or be happening to some homeowners. Pet dander and debris can all be allergy triggers but with proper air duct cleaning techniques and procedures the homeowner can rest assured that their health will be restored.

The newly conditioned air is moved along the ductwork by a blower motor which is usually housed in the air handler after or before the evaporator coil. A filter is usually placed before the blower motor. The filters responsible for filtering any debris that enters the return. When the filter is not filtering properly it can allow dirt, dust, and allergens into the system causing the blower motor to circulate the debris throughout the house.

Dryer Vent Cleaning..What To Consider When Looking For A Company.


When looking for a dryer vent cleaning company the homeowner has to take some things into consideration. For example, does the company have the training to accomplish the job. Second, does the dryer vent cleaning company have the right tools and do they have a good reputation. These examples are some of the things the homeowner should ask themselves when searching for a dryer vent cleaning company.

Dryer duct cleaning is a vital part of home maintenance and can be overlooked at times. Dryer vents are used to remove excess lint and moisture from your dryer. This is accomplished by the use of a sheet metal pipe exiting your dryer to the outside of your home. If this duct becomes blocked or broken problems will arise such as, clothes taking longer to dry and in some extreme cases dryer fires. Some examples of a blockage could be a freshly built birds nest or a dead animal lodged inside of the duct itself. Every year there are numerous homes that are badly damaged or burn down because of dryer duct issues. To prevent this from happening your dryer vent should be cleaned and inspected annually.

Dryer duct cleaning should be done by a professional with the training and tools to accomplish the job successfully without damaging the home. Some things to look for in a dryer vent cleaning company is reputation. As the homeowner check local reviews for dryer ventilation cleaning companies on Angie's list. A company with an A or B is a great choice and you can be confident the job will be done correctly. Additionally, pick a company that has a great price point that won't break the bank. Gathering estimates from the top three companies is usually a good way to go. Also, look for specials and discounts in places like Craigslist.com and Google to find the lowest price for the company of choice. Also ask the technician questions about the procedure and what you can do to help assist in the prevention of lint build-up inside the dryer vent.

Finally, dryers also should be inspected annually by an appliance repair specialist to help prevent unnecessary expenses like, burned out heating elements or shorted limit switches because of a clogged dryer exhaust vent. So seeking professional help will give peace of mind and assure that the dryer is in operational condition.

Summary:When looking for a dryer vent cleaning company the homeowner has to take some things into consideration. For example, does the company have the training to accomplish the job. Second, does the dryer vent cleaning company have the right tools and do they have a good reputation.
