FAQs
Why does your duct-cleaning service use hospital-grade sanitizers?
Hospital-grade sanitizers are formulated to eliminate a broader spectrum of bacteria, viruses, moulds, and fungi than standard household disinfectants. When applied to HVAC ducts they neutralize microbial growth on metal, fiberglass, and insulation surfaces, reducing the chance that contaminants will be redistributed into your indoor air. This is especially valuable for households with allergy sufferers, immunocompromised occupants, or anyone seeking the highest possible indoor-air-quality standard.
How is the sanitizer applied, and is it safe for my family and pets?
After the ducts are mechanically agitated and vacuumed with negative-pressure HEPA equipment, technicians fog a diluted, Health Canada-approved hospital disinfectant throughout the supply and return lines. The product is non-corrosive, non-staining, and leaves no lingering odour. Dwell time is typically 10–15 minutes, after which fresh air is circulated to accelerate drying. Because the sanitizer breaks down into harmless compounds once dry, it is safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals. We will ask you to remain out of the treated area for about 30 minutes as a precaution.
How often should residential ducts be cleaned in Elora’s climate?
For most homes we recommend a thorough duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, Elora’s seasonal humidity swings, abundant spring pollen, and wintertime furnace use can shorten that interval. You may want service every 2–3 years if you have pets, recently completed renovations, or household members with respiratory conditions. Commercial or medical facilities often follow an annual schedule to maintain compliance with air-quality standards.
What signs indicate my HVAC system needs cleaning and sanitizing?
• Persistent dust buildup shortly after cleaning surfaces • Musty or mouldy odours when the furnace or AC starts • Visible dust “puffs” exiting supply registers • Recent water damage, construction, or insulation work • Increased allergy or asthma symptoms among occupants • Higher-than-normal energy bills or uneven airflow
Will sanitized duct cleaning improve energy efficiency and HVAC performance?
Yes. Dust and microbial films act as insulation on heat-exchange surfaces and restrict airflow, forcing the blower motor and heat exchanger to work harder. By removing debris and sanitizing internal surfaces, static pressure drops and heat transfer improves. Clients typically see 5–15 % energy savings and notice more even temperatures throughout the home. Cleaner coils and blower wheels also extend equipment life and reduce maintenance calls.
How long does the service take and what should I do to prepare?
A standard single-furnace home in Elora takes 2-4 hours; larger homes or those with multiple systems can take 4-6 hours. Before we arrive, please: 1. Clear access to furnace, registers, and return grills. 2. Secure pets in a separate room. 3. Remove fragile items from the work area. 4. Let us know of any recent repairs or indoor-air concerns. We handle all furniture moving needed for register access and will protect floors with drop cloths. You can stay in the home during most of the process and resume normal HVAC operation immediately after we finish.
