HVAC Cleaning Knoxville

The ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality, but you can help change that! Inspecting the ductwork in your home should be a high priority. In most cases, the HVAC the system has been operating for some time without much attention. Dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold, and irritating dust throughout your home.

A routine part of SERVPRO® of West Knoxville’s
service is inspecting the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit (HVAC). Keeping the HVAC and ductwork clean can potentially extend the life-span of the equipment by allowing it to operate at peak condition, which may help save you money. Duct
cleaning may not always be necessary. SERVPRO® of West Knoxville will inspect your HVAC system and
ductwork and make recommendations about the best way to address any indoor air quality concerns. This inspection can help save you money and provide peace of mind on the health of your HVAC
system and ductwork.

In some circumstances, such as after a fire, smoke, or suspected mold growth, duct cleaning becomes an essential part of the cleanup process.
In these cases, SERVPRO® of West Knoxville can often restore the HVAC system and ductwork to pre-damage condition. If you have a fuel-burning furnace, stove, or fireplace, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends they be inspected for proper functioning and be serviced
before each heating season to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning.

The SERVPRO® of West Knoxville Duct Cleaning

The system is proven and cost-efficient. Unlike the majority of duct cleaning services, SERVPRO® of West Knoxville uses a portable ventilation and air duct cleaning system to examine ductwork and make a clean sweep, removing years of dust and grime.

• The process begins by using
  patented equipment, including a
  roto-scraper, which automatically
  adapts to the duct’s shape and
  diameter while traveling through
  the duct, removing debris and filth
  before vacuuming begins.
• Next, a powerful push-pull air
  delivery and collection system
  transfers the debris from the
  ducting to a 16-gallon container.
• Air is filtered through a HEPA
  filtration system, removing 99.97
  percent of the particles in the
  airstream. HEPA filters capture
  debris and keep the indoor
  environment clean.
• As an optional process, a sealant or
  coating product may be sprayed to
  address odor or microbial concerns.
  n Filters will either be cleaned
  or replaced to remove odor
  and dirt.
