Minneapolis Duct Cleaning MN

Does Duct Cleaning Help

A Twin Cities homeowner doesn’t have to go far to learn the benefits of duct cleaning. When suffering from allergies, a trip to the local allergy clinic and they discover that, among other things (like mattress cleaning, and freezing pillows, etc), duct cleaning ranks high on the list of allergy proofing a house. A conversation with any HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) technician and a Minneapolis homeowner will also discover that the furnace needs to be cleaned on an annual basis. Annual furnace cleaning is recommended by all manufacturers.

House Getting Dusty Faster - Try Duct Cleaning

One of the most common complaints we hear is; 'my house is getting dustier faster than it used too'. It only stands to reason that if it has been more than a couple years since you last had your air ducts cleaned, your duct work is loaded with dust. When your furnace (or a/c) fan kicks on, the dust that is in your air ducts will get blown around the house.

If you live in the Minneapolis MN area and would like to schedule duct cleaning for your Twin Cities home, please give us a call. Generally, we can get you on the next days route. Schedule your duct cleaning online or call 651-653-4704.

Duct Cleaning Question Answered on our Blog

Below you will find an actual question we were asked by a potential customer on our Duct-911 blog today. The comment on our duct cleaning blog was in response to the post "How Much Should Air Duct Cleaning cost?".

"How can an air duct cleaning actually cost less than 200.00?"

This customer is not the first to ask this question, we hear it all the time when people call in. We decided to post our reply so others could be reassured that, yes, the price really is $99!

Austin says:

How can an air duct cleaning actually cost less than 200.00 dollars given the time it takes and everything else? This site makes me wonder how someone can actually do this job correctly for just $99. I have had many quotes and this is no where near the price. I was told that to correctly have he ducts cleaned that everything in the air system needed cleaned and had to be done by a licensed hvac contractor….so how are you able to do it correctly for $99….or is this a bait n switch.

Dave Trosdahl says:

The price is most definitely correct! - We hear concerns like yours all the time. First you need to decide what level of clean you want. 100% clean will cost you serious money (think camera, 4 hours and $400+++). If you just want the ducts thoroughly cleaned then $99 is the price. For $99 ALL your duct work gets thoroughly cleaned. If a camera was sent through the ducts, yes some residue may or may not remain. For most homeowners that’s good enough. For others, they may feel more comfortable having the camera crew out and spend lots of time and money on air duct cleaning. We find that most of our customers don’t want to spend so much time and money on a project like duct cleaning. They tell us all the time that they just want the “crud” out of the ducts. What (if anything) remains in the duct work certainly won’t be blowing around their house anymore. - Thanks for your interest and consideration, good luck on your decision.

"...Is This a Bait-n-Switch"

Dave Trosdahl says:

P.S. To answer your question, this is not a bait-n-switch. Remember, with a bait-and-switch, the advertised product/service doesn’t exist (like a car dealer advertising a stripped down car, which isn’t available). We provide the $99 service all day long.
March 13th, 2008 at 11:48 pm

So, as you can see, the air duct cleaning prices quoted on our website really is correct. We most definitely stand behind our duct cleaning prices.

Suffer From Allergies? - Might Want to Think About Air Duct Cleaning

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or even if you find you have to dust too often, then air duct cleaning is for you. Not only will you breathe cleaner air, you can increase the amount of air flow reducing your electric bills.

The American College of Allergy concluded that 50 percent of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. Even in new homes we find just as much dust and residue as older homes, due to construction residue.
Just cleaning the vents will not eliminate the dust and pollutants in your home.

The Twin Cities Air Duct Cleaning Process:

In order to clean completely we must clean the returns (where the air flows into the system), and the blower units as well. Otherwise your vents will become dirty again as soon as you run air through them.

It is vital you replace your air filters promptly after we clean your system and replace them as needed on a regular basis. Some houses will require more frequent air duct cleaning, as well as the changing of furnace filters as the number of pets, dirt, and traffic varies in each home.

We can also sanitize your air ducts to reduce odors and disinfect your entire duct system. The sanitizer we use is less toxic than most household chemicals.

Do it Yourself Duct Cleaning DIY

DIY Duct Cleaning - How To

Your air ducts are dirty and they need to be cleaned. Chances are something has led up to the revelation that years of dust, dirt and debris can't be a good thing. Perhaps your nose has been running and you have come to the conclusion that you have something more than a head cold going on.

Quite often, homeowners experience breathing problems, excessive dust, a newborn or they just bought a new home. Whatever the case, it's definitely time for air duct cleaning, and youwant to do ityourself to save a few bucks. Nothing wrong with that. With a little creative ingenuity, some up-front capital and little time you should be able to make an added improvement to the quality of your indoor air.

Here is a Quick DIY Guide to Duct Cleaning

First, you will need a high powered air compressor. To blow the bulk of the crud out of your air ducts you will need to have the capacity to maintain 200psi for 30 minute intervals. You will need an attachment (we have ours specially made) for the end of the hose that will blow the dust backwards. Some people use copper tubing to create a "j-hook".

Next, you will need to have something heavy to cover the air vents. This should be something that keeps the pressurized air and the dust inside the duct work. This is important because otherwise the dust will blow around the house. Not a good plan.

The next step is to attach a high powered vacuum to the furnace. No, a shop vac won't work. Plan on spending a few hundred dollars to get one that can really create negative pressure. Buying a truck mounted vac like we use to clean air ducts wouldn't be practical...they cost thousands of dollars. A good place to look is Duct Cleaner Supply.

Lastly, since a RotoBrush is too expensive for most homeowners, you will want to fashion a rotating brush to the end of a drill. Buy a 25' cable which has a stationary outer shield, to attach to the end of a cordless drill. You will also need to put a long bristled brush on the end of the cable.

You Now Have the Basic Tools for DIY Air Duct Cleaning

In the next post, I will explain the process using the homemade duct cleaning equipment I just described. Keep in mind, the duct cleaning tools I have described are an inexpensive means of cleaning your own ductwork on a budget. The truck mounted duct cleaning equipment used by our company and most other duct cleaners runs into the thousands of dollars.

Check back soon for "part two" of "Do It Yourself Duct Cleaning". in the mean time, you might want to read a previous post entitled "Twin Cities Air Duct Cleaning - Minneapolis, St. Paul". This post describes the Push-Pull duct cleaning method and the RotoBrush duct cleaning method.
