How do you spot a duct cleaning scam? These are good questions that we set out to answer in the video below with Ben from One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning.

Duct cleaning scams are everywhere so we teach you how to spot the difference between a professional duct cleaning that does wonders for your indoor air quality and scams from fly by night companies that are here today and gone tomorrow.

Professional duct cleaning service protects your HVAC system, cuts down on dust and allergens, and improves the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system. Professional duct cleaning is done by a crew of at least two people and takes at least a half a day or a full day depending on the size of your home. Ben encourages you to take before and after pictures of your ductwork so you can see the difference after a professional duct cleaning.

Popular Psychiatrist Recommends Annual Duct Cleaning and Hepa Filters to Help Combat Depression

amindofyourown

Dr. Kelly Brogan, a Board certified Psychiatrist and a practitioner of integrative holistic medicine, said in her book “A Mind of Your Own: The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives,” that in order to combat the toxic fumes from furniture, electronics, and household goods that can affect your health people should do the following:

  1. Ventilate your home well and install HEPA air filters if possible.
  2. Change your air-conditioning and heating filters every three to six months.
  3. Get the ducts cleaned yearly.
  4. Avoid air deodorizers and plug-in room fresheners.
  5. Request that people take off their shoes when they enter your house.
  6. Reduce toxic dust and residues that you cannot see or smell from furniture, electronics, and textiles by using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.
  7. Keep as many plants in your home as possible, as they naturally detoxify the environment.  Spider plants, aloe vera, chrysanthemums, Gerbera daisies, Boston ferns, English ivies, and philodendrons are good choices.  Use fifteen to twenty plants per 1,800 square feet.

Dr. Brogan’s book links nutrition, toxic environments and activity levels to depression as well as other common health issues.  Her goals for people to help to heal themselves include:

  • Introduce a new way of nourishing your body through the foods you eat.
  • Green your home and environment, divorcing yourself from the modern love affair with toxicants.
  • Incorporate a daily meditative practice into your life, one that stimulates the body’s natural relaxation response and paves the way for lasting transformation.
  • Prioritize getting routine restful sleep and adequate exercise throughout the week.

At One Hour, we have seen the benefits of cleaning the air in your home.  Our homes are so “tight” that indoor air quality is much more polluted than outdoor air due to the chemicals in our homes.  For this reason, we offer duct cleaning, duct sealing and high quality HEPA and MicroPower Air Filters to clean the air of toxins, dust and allergens.

Benefits of Home Duct Sealing with Aeroseal

Aeroseal Home Duct Sealing can improve your home comfort, reduce your energy bills, and improve your indoor air quality.

Home Comfort

The #1 reason home owners want Aeroseal Home Duct Sealing is because they experience hot and cold rooms or high temp differences between upstairs vs downstairs living areas.  The majority of homes we see suffer from these issues due to leaky duct work not delivering conditioned air where it is meant to go!

Our simple process seals leaky ductwork from the inside – even the hidden ductwork behind your walls!

Indoor Air Quality & Home Safety

Many home owners notice dust collection around registers and higher than average dust collecting on surfaces throughout their homes.  Leaky ducts pull dust, mold, and other pollutants into your home, presenting indoor air quality issues and creating and/or aggravating allergy problems.  Duct leaks also contribute to safety issues in residential homes relating to back drafting of gas appliance fumes, auto exhaust and radon gas into your living space.

Aeroseal home duct sealing will keep those dust, mold, and pollutants from being pulled into your living areas improving your air quality! 

Energy Savings & Utility Bills

Nearly 50% of the average home’s and commercial building energy bill is spent on heating air conditioning and ventilation. Duct leakage in residential homes costs consumers $25 billion each year and costs much more to the commercial building operators / owners.

On average, 30 cents of every $1 you spend on heating and cooling your home or building disappears into thin air due to duct leaks.
