Duct Cleaning Portland - 3 Steps - Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Step 1- Source Control

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends “Source Control” as the #1 step to improving the Indoor Air Quality in your home. The idea is to identify the source of the indoor air pollution and to control this hazardous source by either containment or complete removal. Air Duct Cleaning, when done right, is known as a source removal process. Over time the air duct system in your home accumulates layers of potentially harmful allergens including dust, pollen, pet dander and bacteria. If improving the Indoor Air Quality in your home is important to you, hiring a professional Air Duct Cleaning Company is the first step. Better Air NW is a leader in the Portland-Vancouver duct cleaning industry.

Step 2- Furnace Filter Improvement

Modern residential HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning) systems are designed to operate as air tight as possible. This means the air in your home is continuously recycled over and over again. Your furnace filter is designed to help prevent the spread of potentially harmful allergens in your home. Unfortunately, most residential furnace filters are ill equipped to handle the job. Replacing your unreliable filter with a more effective lifetime-warranty Electrostatic filter is a smart idea. You can reduce 97% of all airborne allergens by using the Electrostatic Filters recommended by Better Air NW.

Step 3- Anti-Microbial Sanitation

Just like the floors and counter tops in your home sometimes simply vacuuming and wiping the counters down with water is not enough. The same goes for air duct cleaning. In Step 1 we completed the important work of actually cleaning the interior surface of your air ducts. The final step is to apply an Anti-Microbial Sanitation fog which will eliminate the growth of mold and bacteria for up to 12 months. For anyone suffering from chronic allergy and asthma symptoms, Step 3 just might be the most important step of all to improve your Indoor Air Quality. A full Anti-Microbial Sanitation is included in our Deluxe Cleaning Package.
