Duct Cleaning Twin Cities

This is one of the common questions out on the internet right today pertaining to air duct cleaning. Because of the low price, it only stands to reason that homeowners need to proceed with caution. After all, how can trained professionals arrive at your house, anywhere in the Twin Cities, in a well equipped tuck, work for 45 minutes to a couple hours and leave with only $99, right?

I know it sounds too good to be true but, let me explain. First, I assume you have already read about duct cleaning on this blog. If not, here are a few posts you might want to read first:

 Whenever I am talking with customers that call in with questions about duct cleaning or to schedule a cleaning service I always ask them how long it’s been since they had their duct work cleaned. If they say last year, I don’t even bother asking them anymore questions. If they called in wanting the $99 deal that’s what I would recommend anyway.

If, on the other hand, they answer that it has been several years or perhaps never, I advise them to go with the rotobrush method. Here’s why; I am sure you have all seen the caked on grime that accumulates behind the refrigerator or stove, right. That “crud” is very similar to what adheres to the inside walls of your air ductwork. Imagine pulling the kitchen stove out and trying to simply vacuum it up. We all know that brushing or scrubbing is necessary.

The same holds true with duct cleaning. If it was just cleaned with a rotobrush last year, the $99 duct cleaning will most likely be adequate. But, if it has been a few years, I would strongly recommend the rotobrush method.

If you are ready to get on the scheule for either the rotorush method or the $99 air-sweep, give us a call at 612-412-1867, we would love the opportunity to showcase our work for you.

We have seen a few carpet cleaning companies start to offer duct cleaning in the Twin Cities over the past few months. Sounds convenient, but is it in your best interest? At first glance, you might think it is a match made in heaven. the company comes out and cleans your carpets and will provide duct cleaning at the same time. Very convenient, right? Maybe not.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Equipment Fills the Service Truck

The first question I have is, knowing how much room our duct cleaning equipment takes up, how will they fit everything on their trucks? The next concern I have is are the carpet cleaners using the same equipment for both projects? If so, what type of system is it? You certainly don’t want water or steam in your metal ductwork!

Carpet Cleaners also Trained to be Duct Cleaning Technicians?

Our air duct cleaning technicians are well trained in cleaning air duct work and have worked along side skilled service technicians for a long time before they are allowed to become the lead duct cleaning technician. Who is training these carpet cleaners and how are they being taught?

Unless you ask a lot of questions, get a referral from a friend or neighbor, I would advise making two seperate appointments. That would hopefully be the case with the carpet/duct cleaning company anyway. I would like to think that they would schedule two different teams, one appointment to clean the carpets, the other to clean your air ducts. If that’s the case you have really gained nothing. Might as well just call the pros. Call 612-412-1867 to get on the schedule

Summer is in full swing and we have now been through our fist heat wave in the greater Twin Cities metro area. Unfortunately, this likely won’t be our last heat wave nor the hottest. A properly working and “well tuned” air conditioner is very important in Minnesota.

So, How Did Your Central Air Conditioning System Keep Up?

When both the humidity and the temps are high, that’s when your central air system gets put to the test. All it takes is for an air conditioner to be low on freon, dirty, froze-up, or malfunctioning in some other way and you quickly start to feel uncomfortable in your house.

As a professional heating and cooling contractor and also an air duct cleaning company, servicing the entire Minneapolis St. Paul area, we often are the first call homeowners make. When the temperatures start to climb and they discover that their air conditioner isn’t working the way it used to our phone starts to ring like crazy. Fortunately, we are prepared and jump into action as quickly as we can.

Are You Sure the Air Conditioner Needs Repair?

Maybe the air conditioner doesn’t need to be repaired after all. Oftentimes, the only problem is the outdoor condensor or the inside evaperator (a.k.a. a-coil) is just dirty and no repair is necessary. If that’s the case, we will clean everything up and be on our way in an hour or less. Cleaning the central air conditioning system and a good old fashioned duct cleaning will typically cost less than $100 unless your system is really dirty. In that case you might want us to use our rotary brush cleaning method and that takes a little longer.

Either way, cleaning your air conditioner and your duct work will cost you a lot less money than jsut letting it go and suffering through it. A dirty air conditioner works MUCH harder than a clean air conditioner. When the central air conditioner is working hard to keep up with the demand you have set on the thermostat you are wasting a lot of energy.

Schedule an Air Conditioner Cleaning Soon.

Rather than suffer and spend a lot of money on increased energy consumption, why not have you an air duct cleaning company come out, like CleanMyFurnace.com for example,  and do a complete air duct cleaning. And, if needed, we will clean your a-coil and your condensor. Air conditioning cleaning will generally pay for itself in energy savings, so why put it off?

If you would like to schedule either air conditioner cleaning, air duct cleaning or both, please give us a call at 612-412-1867. Our technicians are fast, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable.

Duct Cleaning – RotoBrush Method

Price $249.95 Special $189.00

• Step 1. – Our technicians first attach a high powered vacuum to the main trunk line leading to your furnace.
• Step 2. – Next, they go to each branch line and use a tool called an air-wand. The air-wand uses highly compressed air to push all the debris down to the main trunk-lines where the vacuum hose is creating negative-pressure to draw all debris to our van mounted equipment.
• Step 3. – Once they have completed the initial air sweep, an item called a Rotary-Brush with a reverse nozzle will be used. It will be inserted into the trunk line where the brush will rotate inside the air ducts. This rotating brush “scrubs” the walls clean, removing anything that is stuck on, or otherwise attached to the walls of the air ducts. Once the ductwork has been scrubbed clean, they continue on to Step 4 using compressed air to pull the dust and debris that was removed from the side walls of the trunk lines and any other debris which might have been knocked loose with the rotary brush, back out to the vacuum using Step 2 mentioned above.
• Step 4. – When the technicians have completed the initial air sweep and “RotoBrushing” the walls of the duct work, they will go to the bottom of the furnace with a 25-ft rotary air-wand, also known as an air-snake, with a reverse nozzle. This creates a tornado effect in the duct work, removing all residue from the sides of the air ducts. This will pull any remaining dust and debris back to the vacuum. The vacuum is “pulling” while the air-wand is “pushing” and it does a very effective job on light dust, dirt and debris.

If it has been a while since your air ducts were cleaned, you should definitely consider using the Rotary Brush Method. Unlike many of our competitors, we brush all your air vents and we clean all return lines and supply lines within your household.
