Many Houston residents opt for duct cleaning as a way to improve indoor air quality, but they don't realize that this service can cause significant damage to the ducts that will need to be repaired in the future. At Airpro Indoor Air Solutions, we offer alternative solutions for indoor air quality without compromising the integrity of your air duct systems.
There are many methods for cleaning air ducts, depending on the material they are made of. However, flexible ducts should only be cleaned by a trained professional, as they can be easily damaged if cleaned with inappropriate tools or if cleaned by someone with no experience in cleaning these ducts. There is a great risk that the fragile plastic layer will break when moving these air ducts to be cleaned years after installation. It's important to seek advice from a heating and cooling specialist before deciding on duct cleaning. In some cases, it can be beneficial - for example, if there is mold on walls or attics, cleaning the ducts can reduce the risk of mold particles spreading into the air around the house.
Flexible ducts should be kept fairly short, as static electricity can accumulate in these types of ducts and reduce air flow. Flexible ducts are exactly what they sound like: instead of having a system of rigid ducts that can't be bent, flexible ducts can be bent and manipulated. At Airpro Indoor Air Solutions, we have the experience and tools necessary to carry out a thorough cleaning of all air conditioning systems, including those that consist of flexible ducts. We recommend that you review this collection of myths that some duct cleaning services might try to use to convince you. To understand why we don't recommend any type of duct cleaning for flexible ducts, you need to know how flexible ducts are designed and manufactured. Flexible air ducts are made up of several layers of materials.
The innermost layer is usually made of plastic or vinyl and is designed to keep the air flowing through it clean and free from contaminants. The outer layer is usually made of metal or fiberglass and is designed to protect the inner layer from damage caused by external elements such as dust or moisture. This outer layer also helps keep the temperature inside the flexible air duct constant. When it comes to cleaning flexible air ducts, it's important to remember that they are delicate and require special care. If not handled properly, they can easily be damaged or torn apart.
This is why it's important to hire a professional who has experience in cleaning these types of systems. A professional will know how to safely move the flexible air ducts without damaging them and will also have access to specialized tools and equipment that can help them clean the system more effectively. At Airpro Indoor Air Solutions, we understand how important it is to maintain your home's air quality without compromising its integrity.
