Air duct cleaning can do more than just improve your air quality and remove contaminants from your ventilation system.  Duct cleaning can also remove any blockage found in the duct system.  Amistee Air Duct Cleaning has found blockages more than just your typical dirt and dust.  Usually something was put into the ductwork by a child or family member.  We have found shoes, shirts, blankets and even more creating blockages for air flow.

On top of the unusual blockage inside of the ductwork, Amistee also finds many dampers inside of the ductwork to be closed upon inspection.  For any air duct cleaning all dampers must be opened in order to perform a proper cleaning.  In many cases, customers experience better air flow after an air duct cleaning.

PrVacuum truck air duct cleaningoperly cleaning a home’s air duct system can be a complicated procedure and  should only be done by a team of professionals who are properly trained and  equipped to remove all the contaminants from the vent system.  The owners at  Amistee understand the importance of this and make sure that each of our  team members are provided with the most powerful equipment in the industry.   By providing our team with the proper tools, Amistee is able to guarantee a complete and thorough air duct cleaning for the homeowners and business owners of Southeastern Michigan.  Each of our vehicles are well-maintained and equipped with the tools to clean homes with a basement, attic, slaw or crawl space HVAC system

The first thing you will notice when you choose to hire Amistee is our vibrant green vacuum trucks.  We only use vacuum PTO-driven trucks because they are the most powerful in our industry and allow us to properly clean the entire HVAC system in your home or business.  The vacuum pulls 16.000 to 17,000 cubic feet per minute of air.  This powerful suction allows our technicians to pull all the contaminants from your vent system without causing any damage to the ductwork.  Our process uses negative pressure to pull everything down through the ductwork, out through our hose and then into our vacuum-mounted truck.  This process removes any contaminant that has the potential to become airborne and provides a thorough air-washing of your entire system.  Our technicians will also go to each of the registers and use compressed air to agitate anything that has built up along the sides.  We take great pride in providing a complete cleaning so when you choose Amistee, you know you are hiring experts you can trust.

If a homeowner or business owner chooses to hire a company that does not have an understanding of the many different components of an HVAC system and does not have the correct equipment to provide a thorough cleaning, they run the risk of causing damage to the ductwork and the heating and cooling equipment in their home.  We encourage those that are interested in having the ductwork cleaned in their home or business to make sure to ask what equipment is going be used and what is involved in the process.  A vehicle with a vacuum-mounted system has the proper suction to provide a complete vent cleaning and properly remove all the debris and pollutants that have built up with the ductwork.

Many people wonder if their ductwork has mold inside of it.  This is a tricky questions because there is not a “golden” answer.  Ductwork is made out of metal which is non porous and mold can not “technically” grow on the metal itself.  If a duct system is dirty and contains layers of contaminants then mold could potentially grow on the debris inside of the ductwork.  You can see from the picture below that there is a significant amount of debris for mold spores to adhere to.

Proper cleaning of an air duct system and its vents can help reduce the amount of particulate coming out of the duct system and into your breathable living space.  Amistee Air Duct Cleaning specializes in whole house air duct cleaning.  If you are having a problem with indoor air quality or think you may have mildew or mold inside of your ductwork, get the cleaning done properly and do not waste your money with a company that could potentially make your problem worse.  Check with your local BBB and make sure the potential company is a member of NADCA.

Air Duct Cleaning is a large breeding ground for companies who take advantage of homeowners both young and old.  It is an industry where you can not really see what has been done, or can you?  As a homeowner you own the ducts and it is YOUR home,  so you deserve to see what is being done or not done when you hire a contractor.  At Amistee we will show you before and after pictures of your ductwork.  This will prove to you what we have done.  We will invite you into the work area and show you exactly what was done and provide you with any recommendations.  We will show you pictures of any area of your duct system, not just one if you wish.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to setting standards and guidelines within the air duct cleaning industry.  When a system is maintained properly, most homes duct systems only need cleaning every 3-5 years.  If you decide that it is time to hire a contractor, RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

Once you find a contractor make sure that they are going to clean the entire heating and cooling system.  This is not just the visible ducts,  this is ALL of the components which is from each register back through the furnace.  Many companies do not touch/clean the furnace.  They will also only clean a portion of the ducts.  Please, if you are going to spend any amount of money make sure it is done properly and by a reputable company.

Pollutants in Your Home – Air Duct Cleaning Southeast MI

Indoor air quality is considered to be the fourth greatest pollution threat to Americans by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Even if you can never see, and can’t always smell, the chemicals inside your home, they are there.  It comes from cleaning products, drycleaning chemicals, plastic products like computer keyboards, furniture, paint, carpeting and more.

Some tips to help keep these contaminates from polluting your house are as follows:

Look for certifications. Certifications for low chemical emissions are in their infancy, but the more people who buy and request certified products, the more there will be.  Greenguard, part of Underwriters Laboratories, certifies furniture, paint, and other office and household products.  Scientific Certification Systems is another certifier.  And, for carpet, you can look for the “Green Label Plus” created by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI).

Choose unscented products. Many manufacturers make both scented and unscented versions of their products.  Always choose the unscented ones.

Avoid pressed wood. Pressed wood and wood composite materials are manufactured using strong glues that often contain volatile organic compounds.

Unwrap. When you buy new furniture, unpackage it outdoors and let it sit outside for at least one week to air out. Similarly, make sure to unwrap your dry-cleaning outdoors before bringing it into your house.

Ventilate. Try to paint in the spring and fall when you can comfortably leave your windows open for ventilation.  Same goes for new furniture or cabinetry.  Keep your windows open for a couple of weeks, if possible.

Paint first. It’s a good idea to paint your home first, then ventilate for several days before installing new carpeting and other textiles.  That’s because these products can absorb chemicals from the paint and re-release them into the air over time.

Buy used. Chemical emissions are at their highest when a product is brand new, so one solution is to buy used furniture that has already off-gassed in somebody else’s house.  (Unless that used furniture has just been refinished.)  Just be careful, because you want the latest safety features in things like baby cribs.  And you should look for furniture built after 1978, when lead paint was banned.
