—A Total System Cleaning—
“Mom, I’ve been coughing a lot lately, and my nose is always runny.”
Dirty parts to your heating and air conditioning system will have a serious impact on your family’s health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is especially bad for people with asthma, heart conditions, children, and the elderly. Dirt in your HVAC system can harbor mold and mildew, both of which are extremely hazardous to your health. If left untreated, some molds can cause allergic reactions or even toxic poisoning.
Also, a build-up of debris will cause your system to fail at filtering out particle pollutions such as allergens, pollen, pet dander and other airborne particles. This accumulation will force your heating and air system to work harder, causing higher utility costs and extensive wear and tear even premature failure.
How will a total system cleaning help protect my family and save me money?
Through the total system cleaning process, your Aire Serv technician will clean and service numerous components of the HVAC system:
- Supply and return ducts
Ducts, which are the passageways for the air you breathe, build up layers of filth over time. Some of the contaminants in your ducts may include mold, mildew, dirt and dust. Insects or rodents may also find a home inside your ducts. They can create blockage and spread germs. A proper duct cleaning will be the start of better respiratory health and unit efficiency, both of which will save you money and bring greater peace of mind.
- Evaporator coil
The evaporator coil is part of the indoor unit and works like a radiator to make sure the air flowing through the duct system is cooled properly. The evaporator is exposed to the flow of air drawn from rooms all over your house through the return ducts. A dirty evaporator coil can restrict airflow, reducing your unit’s efficiency. It can also harbor mold and mildew, and you don’t want your family breathing those health hazards.
- Air filters
A dirty air filter allows pollen, pet dander and other airborne particles into the air you breathe, and that can make you sick. In addition to helping prevent illnesses—especially for members of your family with breathing problems or heart conditions—a clean filter can shorten recovery time from illnesses caused or worsened by poor air quality.
- Blower
Your heating and cooling system has a blower to circulate warm or cool air throughout your house. If the blower becomes dirty, it will take more energy to operate, increasing your utility costs. And if the blower gets too dirty, it will fail. You do not want that to happen because if it does, you may have to replace your entire HVAC system at a cost that far exceeds the investment of regular cleaning and maintenance by Aire Serv’s professionals.
- Aire Serv’s complete and thorough cleaning of your system includes the following sections and parts as well:
- Diffusers and grilles
- Drip pans
- Fan housing and motor
- Air handling unit housing
After all, if the resistance of dirt is too great it can actually cause a major system failure.
