FAQs
What does “EPA-approved sanitizer” mean for duct cleaning in Birchwood?
An EPA-approved sanitizer is a disinfectant that has been tested and registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for effectiveness and safety. When we apply it during duct cleaning in Birchwood, you can be confident it meets federal standards for killing bacteria, mold, and certain viruses inside HVAC ductwork without leaving harmful residues.
Why should I sanitize my HVAC ducts after they are cleaned?
Standard mechanical cleaning removes dust and debris, but it may not eliminate microorganisms living on the interior duct surfaces. Applying our EPA-approved sanitizer after the debris is removed provides an additional layer of protection by neutralizing mold spores, bacteria, and odor-causing microbes, helping improve indoor air quality and reducing allergy triggers.
Is the sanitizer safe for my family, pets, and HVAC system?
Yes. The product we use is specifically labeled by the EPA for HVAC applications. It is non-corrosive to metal components, leaves no harmful chemical residue, and has low toxicity once dry. People and pets can re-enter treated areas after the brief ventilation period (typically 30–60 minutes) recommended on the product label.
How is the sanitizer applied during the duct-cleaning process?
After the ducts are cleaned with our negative-air vacuum and agitation tools, we use a fogging or atomizing device to disperse a fine mist of the EPA-approved sanitizer through the supply side of the system while the blower is running. This ensures the mist coats the entire interior surface of the duct network, plenum, and coil cabinet for uniform coverage.
How often should ducts in Birchwood homes or businesses be sanitized?
For most residential customers, sanitizing every 3–5 years—aligned with routine duct cleaning—is sufficient. Homes with smokers, pets, water damage, recent renovations, or occupants with respiratory conditions may benefit from more frequent treatments. Commercial facilities such as day-care centers, medical offices, or restaurants often follow an annual or semi-annual schedule to meet health or regulatory requirements.
What does the service cost and what factors affect pricing?
Pricing for EPA-approved sanitizer application in Birchwood is typically an add-on fee to duct cleaning, ranging from $75 to $150 for an average-sized single-family home. The final price depends on square footage, number of HVAC zones, accessibility of ductwork, and any additional treatments (e.g., coil or plenum sanitation).
