Indoor air quality is becoming increasingly important as people begin spending more time indoors and houses are built more airtight. Alternative lifestyles such as home offices mean extended hours in your home. Having your dirty ducts clean will ensure the air you breathe indoors is quality air.

What is Air Duct Cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is where Key Heating & Air comes into your home with their state of the art equipment to clean and sanitize your duct work.

Why Clean Your Ducts?

The American Lung Association in their consumer awareness bulletin #1001 says microbes and fungi find nourishment's in improperly maintained air ducts, air conditioners and furnaces. As a first step and one solution to the problem source removal is recommended. Clean air conditioners, air ducts, heat exchangers and chimney systems regularly.

Case Study:
Does Air Duct Cleaning Reduce Allergens In The House?

You see them calling to you from Yellow Pages and newspaper advertising... headlines promising to "eliminate allergy problems" and "remove dust and allergens from the home." Despite the claims and testimonials, until recently no published scientific data supported these assertions. Of course, one of the first line therapies in the treatment of allergies and asthma is the avoidance of offending allergens. Airborne allergens in the home constitute one of the hardest types of allergens to avoid. Heating and air conditioning systems have been established as harbors for molds, and certainly with vents in every room this same system is an efficient distribution system. So certainly the "sanitation" of this system is of great interest to allergic and asthmatic patients. To test the theory that commercial air duct sanitation is effective in reducing indoor allergen levels, eight residential "heat-ventilation-air conditioning" (HVAC) systems in six homes during winter (heating mode); and six HVAC systems in five homes during summer (cooling mode); were sampled to measure fungal "colony forming units" (CFUs). The sampling was done before and after HVAC sanitation occurred. Two homes in which no duct cleaning was done served as controls in each phase of this study. The homes ranged in size from 1,500 sq. ft. up to 4,600 sq. ft., and all were of brick or brick and wood frame construction.
