Lawson Home Services Case Studies: Everything You Need to Know about Duct Cleaning

Homeowner’s want their home to be clean and comfortable in all aspects, but what about the parts of the house they don’t see every day? How many times a year does a homeowner go into their attic? Their crawl space? What about their duct work? Compare that to the amount of times family members are in their kitchen or living room. These other aspects of the home are neglected. Homeowners tend to forget about other problems that could be arousing in their home because they don’t see it every day.

In a six room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created every day. The dust is pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5-7 times per day. The ongoing process creates contaminants in the duct work. This can cause allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. Dirty ducts can also cause the HVAC units to work harder creating higher utility costs. 

To solve this common problem, Dr. Energy Saver will clean and aeroseal the duct work to prevent future leakage.

The process begins by a camera being lowered into the duct work. The camera shows live video footage of how the ducts look. This determines if the ducts need to be cleaned or not. Next, the registers are taken off to be cleaned. Then, the duct work is cleaned with a 360 circular rotating brush called the Rotobrush. This brush cleans every angle of the duct work thoroughly. The dust and dirt is then collected into a vacuum. Finally, the duct work is treated with an antimicrobial treatment.
