FAQs
What makes your sanitizing products eco-friendly compared with traditional HVAC disinfectants?
Our sanitizers are plant-based, biodegradable solutions that contain no chlorine, ammonia, synthetic fragrances, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They meet EPA Safer Choice and Green Seal certifications, so they break down into harmless by-products after use and do not introduce hazardous residues into Apison’s air or water systems.
Will eco-friendly duct sanitizing actually eliminate mold, bacteria, and viruses as effectively as chemical disinfectants?
Yes. The botanical active ingredients we use—primarily thymol and citric acid—have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. Independent lab tests show a 99.9 % kill rate against common HVAC contaminants, including Aspergillus niger (black mold), Staphylococcus aureus, and influenza A. Because they are non-corrosive, they can be left to dwell longer inside your ductwork, further improving efficacy.
How is the eco-friendly sanitizing process performed during my duct cleaning appointment in Apison?
1) We start with a camera inspection to locate dust, debris, and microbial growth. 2) High-efficiency vacuum equipment and rotating brushes remove particulate buildup. 3) A low-pressure fogger disperses the botanical sanitizer throughout the supply and return ducts as well as the HVAC cabinet and coil. 4) We run the air handler on fan-only mode for 20–30 minutes to ensure even coverage and drying. The whole visit typically takes 2–4 hours, and you can remain in the home because the product emits no harmful fumes.
How often should I schedule eco-friendly duct sanitizing for my home or business?
For most Apison homes, we recommend full duct cleaning with eco-friendly sanitizing every 3–5 years, or sooner if occupants suffer from allergies, have pets, or if the property has experienced water damage. Commercial facilities with higher occupancy or specialized needs (e.g., medical, childcare) may benefit from annual or semi-annual treatments. We also advise a quick sanitizer fog after any HVAC repair that disturbs interior components.
Is eco-friendly duct sanitizing safe for children, pets, and individuals with respiratory issues?
Absolutely. The formulas are food-grade, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic. They emit a mild herbal scent that dissipates within an hour and leave no measurable airborne residues. Many of our Apison clients report reduced allergy flare-ups and asthma symptoms after treatment because bio-contaminant levels drop significantly.
How much does eco-friendly duct cleaning and sanitizing cost in the Apison area, and are there rebates or incentives?
Pricing depends on square footage, number of vents, and system complexity, but most single-family homes fall between $400 and $650 for a complete clean and botanical fog. Larger homes or multi-system properties may range from $700 to $1,200. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally offers energy-efficiency rebates that can offset 10-15 % of the cost when duct cleaning is paired with HVAC tune-ups.
