Ductwork Before & After Photos

Take a look at this picture. Would you want to breathe the air inside this HVAC duct? As if Delawareans don't have enough problems with allergies, adding dirty ductwork on top of their allergy problems is likely to drive their respiratory system into a sneezing - coughing frenzy.  If Pete could have seen what our duct cleaning tech saw when he opened up his ductwork he'd have been calling Lawson Home Services a very long time ago. This particular case was really bad. Every time the heating or air conditioning system kicked on this disgusting junk was blown all throughout their house in Newark, DE. Poor Pete! ACHOOOO!

And that's just the start of the problem. Dust and grime makes its way to the HVAC coil wreaking havoc with the sensitive operating pressures. In this case the air conditioner was operating so inefficiently it wasn't cooling the house at all. If let go much longer it would have resulted in complete compressor over heating and lockup, which is a very expensive repair typically amounting to thousands of dollars. And worst yet, it typically happens on the coldest or hottest day of the year when your air conditioner or heat pump is struggling the most to keep up. You don't need that. 

Fortunately there's a solution: Lawson Home Services' Platinum Duct Cleaning Service. We not only clean your ductwork so that it looks like the day it was installed, we also clean the coils of both your indoor and outdoor unit, thus prolonging the life of the equipment, and allowing it to operate much more efficiently. This means increased comfort and lower utility bills. That's a win-win situation.
So don't procrastinate. Call Lawson Home services today and get on our schedule. You'll breathe a whole lot better when we get done ... literally! 

Pete Lasutschinkow, the homeowner from Newark, DE chose Lawson Home Services for their reputation in providing expert guidance and home maintenance service. The family was concerned about the indoor air quality, dust and allergens, and poor energy efficiency resulting in high energy bills. The team at Lawson ensured to provide solutions tailored to meet the homeowner's needs. Our professionals completed the Platinum Duct Cleaning service and wiped out all the layers of dust buildup you see in the pictures. Additionally, we sealed all leaky ducts with Aeroseal to improve energy efficiency and adequate airflow in the house and installed Breathe EZ UVC Light in the Furnace to improve indoor air quality and reduce future allergen build-up.

Lawson Home Services can do many things to make your home more energy efficient. One very important thing that can be done in nearly every home is to have the dryer vent cleaned out. Not only will this lower your utility bill, it will speed up the time it takes your clothes to dry, and decrease the wear and tear on your dryer. It will also reduce the risk of fire resulting from overheating of the dryer.

While Lawson's tech is there you can ask him about other services we can do at your home, things that not only reduce energy bills, but increase home comfort and increase indoor air quality. 

This homeowner called Lawson Home Services because he wanted to reduce dust and allergens in his New Castle, DE home. 

The problem was evident when Donnie Lonski, Lawson's trusty duct cleaning technician, opened the hatches and looked deep inside the duct work. Have a look at the "Before" picture - would you want to breathe air that was flowing past all that?  

When Donnie finished the job the insides of the ductwork looked like new, as you can see in the "After" picture. The heat exchange coil inside the air handler was also cleaned allowing the HVAC unit to operate much more efficiently. 

Last but not least, a Breathe EZ™ Ultraviolet light unit was installed inside the ductwork to sanitize the air and kill airborne microbes. 
This home owner should be able to breathe a lot easier now. 

The numerous leaks and cracks in the ductwork of this 1964 Colonial Style home in Claymont, DE did not escape the eagle-eye of Lawson Home Services Specialist, Troy Rowland. This home, built over half a century ago, had numerous issues, but this metal ductwork was particularly leaky. In fact it was so leaky it almost went completely off the scale of the equipment measuring it.

But this was no problem for our steadfast crew. They went to work and soon the numbers began falling. When the work was finished the duct leakage was about one-fifth the amount it was before the work began.

Good job Troy, for discovering those leaks to begin with, and  thank you to the hard working crew for sealing them right up. We know this homeowner is going to be a lot more comfortable in the cold winters and hot humid summers to come in the following years.
