Commercial Duct Cleaning in Michigan

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Many people think that air duct cleaning is just relevant in the residential market.  They forget that almost all commercial buildings in Michigan use forced air systems which in turn has air ducts.  These systems also need to get cleaning because the air ducts get dirty and send the dirt and debris into the conditioned environment or workspace.

Amistee can clean any type of duct system and has had many years doing so.  When a fire or flood has happened in a commercial building the building owners have called upon Amistee Air Duct Cleaning to get the air ducts back into working order.  Amistee has cleaned all types of commercial air duct systems from Comerica Park where the Detroit Tigers play to local food establishments looking to provide clean air for their patrons.



Sometimes when we are cleaning a duct system our technicians will need to physically get inside of the ductwork to hand scrub every square inch to ensure that it is clean.  For your commercial needs call our main office at 248-349-8877 to have one of our commercial inspectors come to your facility and provide you with the best options for your facility.

Are dirty vents something to worry about?

dirty ventsDirty vents in a home or office building is the first sign of dirty ductwork. When you look at the cold air return vents and see a buildup of dirt/dust that is the first sign that the ductwork is dirty. When you look at the heating duct vents (supply vents) and see the registers dirty that is the answer to your questions. Your ductwork is dirty and needs to get cleaned.

Make sure that you do your research and do not get taken advantage of like millions of homeowners a year. This is such a big deal that Chris Hanson did a special on Nightline about duct cleaning scams.

Check out the BBB (http://bbb.org) and see if the company you are looking into has had any complaints. If you can not even find the company on the site then you should think twice. Scammers like to change their names and start up different companies to run away from problems. Amistee has ZERO complaints with the BBB and has done over 5000 cleanings. Compair that with a company that might be $50 cheaper that does not have a record or might have a few complaints. Is it worth the risk?

Is the company you are looking into State Liscensed? Does the company have the correct equipment? What type of guarentee doe they offer? Will they show you before and after pictures? Are their employees actually their employees or do they sub out the work? How will they protect your home from being damaged from hoses? All of these are very important questions that you need to do a bit of research on.

When looking at Amistee you will feel at ease that we are obsessed with finding a better way to do everything from answering the phone to patching out holes. Call to find out why you should use Amistee. (877)-349-8877.

Does Duct Cleaning really work?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

duct cleaning workIt happens quite often that customers ask us if duct cleaning actually works. Our answer to them is of course “yes duct cleaning works if it is done correctly” . As many people are aware of and if not should be aware of is the fact that the duct cleaning industry is full of scams. These scams take millions of dollars away from homeowners every year.

These types of companies are known of as “blow and go” companies. This is strictly because they do what they are called, they blow a few vents (if you are watching) and then take your money and GO. The customer pays for absolutely NOTHING. They are left behind with in most cases a much worse situation than they began with. The dirt and dust that should of been removed from their ductwork like they had hoped is now stirred up and blowing into their homes.

When a homeowner contacts a reputable company and the job is done correctly, duct cleaning can have an enormous effect on the indoor air quality for the better. The simple fact about your heating and cooling system is that it is constantly pulling in air to heat or cool your home and then push it back out into your home. Over time dust, dirt, dander, dead skin cells and other nasty things settle into your system and then become dislodged at some point down the road and fly into your air whenever they want. If you remove the contaminants they will not have the chance of becoming something you can breath or have to clean up (excessive dusting).

To not have to worry about breathing who knows whatever from the previous homeowner or recent remodeling project, homeowners have one of two options. Either they can replace all the ductwork with new or clean the exsisting ductwork that is there.

NADCA which stands for the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (www.nadca.com), shows right on their website questions consumers should ask when they are looking for a duct cleaner. It is extremely important that whoever comes out is going to clean the WHOLE system and not just the vents or bits and pieces of the system. Think about it, if you only clean a portion of the duct system once your furnace is turned back on everything will mix back together.

If you were taking your car in for an instant oil change you probably would not pay the company anything if you pulled on the hoist and they went under your car and knocked around but never really drained or replaced your oil. The same goes for duct cleaning. Why should you pay a company to come in your home and blow a few vents but not really do anything? This happens all the time.

If you are considering air duct cleaning or think that it may be a great option for you and your family, get it done the correct way. Duct cleaning works, only if done correctly.
