Minneapolis Furnace Inspection

Our technicians are trained to inspect your furnace for a potentially dangerous, cracked heat exchanger. A cracked heat exchanger could allow poisonous carbon monoxide gases to enter your home. It oftentimes  takes a trained eye to look for and find cracks and rusty pin holes in a heat exchanger, and our technicians know how and where to inspect.

Additionally, they will inspect the furnace burners for plugged orifices and your chimney to make sure it is clean enough to provide adequate airflow.

Minneapolis Air Conditioning System Inspection

Besides inspecting your furnace, Duct Cleaning Twin Cities will inspect your central air system for energy-draining conditions such as dirty coils, damaged fins and dust-laden fan blades. A dirty or plugged a-coil, also known as an evaporator coil, can drastically restrict airflow year around, costing your family money in higher utility bills.

Minneapolis Furnace Cleaning – it’s that Time of Year Again!

It’s already the first of September, wow! Where did the summer go?  Soon we will be cranking up the heat and watching our utility bills climb. Sorry, but if you live in the Minneapolis Twin Cities area, it is unavoidable. Getting your furnace cleaned is an excellent way to conserve energy and save money on those utility bills. When your furnace is dirty, you are burning fuel in an inefficient manner. In a sense, your hard earned cash is going right out the chimney. If you live in the Twin Cities, annual furnace cleaning is a necessity.

In Addition to Minneapolis Furnace Cleaning, What About That Air Filter?

A dirty air filter simply makes your furnace breathe harder. To over simplify, imagine wrapping a thick scarf around you nose and mouth. In much the same way, your furnace has to draw air through the pleated filter and dust, dirt and debris. Our technicians will help recommend how often you should change your filter. A single person, who doesn’t smoke and has no pets will be able to change their filter less than a family of four with pets.

Duct Cleaning Techniques Have Greatly Improved

Way back in 1997 the EPA did a study that down played the importance of duct cleaning. Many feel this was due in large part to the “air duct cleaning scams” that were being reported all across the Minneapolis area as well as the entire US. While the report was very thorough, duct cleaning techniques and equipment has changed. “Duct cleaners” were running around in station wagons and mini-vans with a shopvac, calling themselves “Indoor Air Quality Professionals.

Allergists Agree, Duct Cleaning Helps

Allergy sufferers don’t need to travel very far to learn the benefits of air duct cleaning. A short visit with their local allergy clinic and they discover that duct cleaning ranks high on the list of allergy cleaning or allergy proofing a house. They will also learn the importance of things like; like mattress cleaning, freezing pillows, allergy bedding, etc), Most people who suffer from allergies know there is no cure-all which will relieve all their symptoms. They understand that air duct cleaning is just one part of the allergy cleaning process.

Is Duct Cleaning Right in Your Situation?

According to your furnace manufacturer (yes, Trane, Bryant, Amana, Carrier, Lennox… yes, everyone of them!), your furnace should be cleaned and inspected yearly. If the manufacturers all recommend annual cleaning, it stands to reason that your ductwork, which supplies un-filtered air to the furnace and heated or cooled air to your home, should be cleaned too. Most homeowners understand the benefits of duct cleaning, even if purely from a “heating and air conditioning maintenance” standpoint. For about $200 or less, a qualified Twin Cities air duct cleaning company will thoroughly clean all your air duct work and will inspect your furnace and air conditioner for no additional charge! So, if you are troubled by allergies, what do you have to lose? Schedule to have your air ducts cleaned today. Who knows, your allergy problems just might improve!

Spring Cleaning Includes Air Ducts too!

In addition to cleaning the carpets,windows and the yard, don’t forget about your home’s heating and air conditioning system. As perhaps one of the most important…and most expensive… appliances in your home, the ductwork is begging to be cleaned! Consider this, the furnace has been drawing dirty, stale air through the cold air return, past the pleated furnace filter and back into your air ducts and distributed through your home all winter long. And don’t expect th furnace filter you paid $1.50 for, at the local home center, to stop much. Your Twin Cities furnace is designed to be cleaned frequently (annually according to manufacturer specifications), and not to be dependent solely upon a cheap little furnace filter.

Want Fresh Air – Clean the Ductwork

If it’s fresh air you’re after, duct cleaning should be one of the top items on your list. Most duct cleaning companies offer a $99 Minneapolis Duct Cleaning Special, as long as they are a reputable firm, it’s definitely worth the money. Chances are, you will save more than that back in the first few months of running your central a/c system, since your furnace no longer needs to work as hard to blow cool air through the clean air ducts.

Improve Indoor Air Quality with Regular Duct Cleaning in the Twin Cities

Dirty ductwork is a major source of indoor air pollution. Airborne contaminants like, dust, dirt and allergens are drawn into the air ducts, through the cold air return, every time the heating and cooling system kicks on. Over time, these contaminants build up inside the air ducts, creating a natural breeding ground for mold, bacteria, fungi and other microbes.

This is particularly true if you have a central air conditioning system like most homeowners do. The damp, cool, air produced by the evaporator, also known as the a-coil, is distributed throughout your air ducts. This creates a comfortable climate in your home, but mold spores and other organisms also thrive in those conditions.

Air Filtration Alone is not Enough

Dust particles drawn into the ductwork typically pass through fiberglass filters and infiltrate your HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system, undermining the performance and energy efficiency of these systems. These particles that make it past the filter can lead to higher maintenance and repair costs, and shorter service life in the long run.

The EPA has this to Say:

According to the EPA, “a build-up of only 0.42″ of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can decrease efficiency by 21%”. Keep in mind a 21% decrease in energy consumption is huge considering homeowners are spending thousands of dollars to enhance their system with new energy savings devices and are excited about a savings of much less.

Furnace manufacturers all recommend an annual furnace cleaning, tune-up and inspection of your furnace. Based on what the EPA says, combined with furnace manufacturer recommendations, it might be time for you to have your furnace, a/c coil and air ducts cleaned.
