FAQs
What makes your sanitizer “all-natural,” and why is it a smart choice for HVAC ductwork?
Our sanitizer is derived from plant-based essential oils and food-grade citric extracts instead of synthetic chemicals or chlorine bleach. It is registered with the EPA for HVAC use and breaks down into water and oxygen after it finishes neutralizing bacteria, mold spores, and viruses. Because it leaves no harsh chemical residue, it is gentler on metal duct linings, gaskets, and coils while still providing hospital-grade disinfection—an ideal solution for families in Cowan who want a healthier indoor environment without synthetic fumes.
How does your duct cleaning and all-natural sanitizing process work in Cowan?
1. Inspection – We start with a camera inspection to check for dust buildup, biological growth, or debris. 2. Source removal – A negative-air vacuum (rated at 5,000 CFM) is connected to the trunk lines while rotary brushes loosen contamination from every register to the main ducts. 3. All-natural sanitizer fog – After the debris is removed, we fog the entire duct system with our plant-based sanitizer, ensuring every surface is coated. 4. Post-clean verification – We run a final camera check and provide before/after images, along with an air-quality report customized for Cowan’s average humidity levels. This three-step cleaning + sanitizing approach removes up to 99% of particulate and microbial contaminants, improving airflow and indoor air quality.
Will using an all-natural sanitizer void my HVAC manufacturer’s warranty or harm the equipment?
No. The sanitizer is non-corrosive, pH-balanced, and specifically formulated for HVAC materials such as galvanized steel, flex duct, aluminum coils, and rubber gaskets. Because it contains no bleach, ammonia, or VOC solvents, it will not pit metal surfaces or degrade insulation. Leading manufacturers—including Trane, Carrier, and Lennox—list this type of botanical disinfectant as compatible with their systems, so your equipment warranty remains intact when applied according to label directions.
How often should Cowan homeowners schedule duct cleaning and sanitizing?
For most residences in Cowan, we recommend cleaning and sanitizing every 3–5 years. However, you may need it more frequently if: • You have pets that shed heavily. • A household member has asthma, allergies, or a compromised immune system. • Your home was recently renovated or experienced smoke damage. • You notice musty odors or visible dust around vents. Our technicians can take an air sample and measure static pressure to determine whether earlier service is justified.
Is the sanitizer safe for children, pets, and allergy sufferers?
Yes. The active ingredients are botanical terpenes and citric compounds that are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA for food contact surfaces. The solution is hypoallergenic, contains no fragrances or dyes, and breaks down rapidly, removing 99.9% of common allergens such as dust-mite waste and mold spores. You may re-enter the treated area just 30 minutes after application, making it a worry-free option for sensitive occupants.
How long does the entire service take, and when can I turn my HVAC system back on?
A typical single-zone residential system in Cowan takes 3–4 hours for complete cleaning and sanitizing. Larger homes with multiple air handlers may take up to 6 hours. After the sanitizer fog is applied, we run the blower for 15 minutes to evenly distribute the mist, then shut the system down to let it dwell and dry. You can safely restart heating or cooling within 60 minutes of completion, and our technician will verify airflow and thermostat operation before leaving.
