Five Important Reasons to Make Sure Air Duct Cleaning is Done Right!

Air duct cleaning, expertly done by a competent NADCA certified firm like AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex, can bring multiple benefits. The most important one is the improvement of indoor air quality and efficient operation of the HVAC system in a home or business. The weather in North Carolina, especially the long hot summers, causes these systems to run for many hours per day, moving huge volumes of air through the ducts and various other components of the system. Filters don’t catch everything, so eventually dust and debris accumulates in the system; this in turn gets recirculated into the indoor air, and HVAC system efficiency decreases.

To complicate the problem, the consumer can get confused with the wide variety of special offers done by a variety of vendors. These special offers and scams are showing up prominently on the internet, on Facebook and other sources. And they come in the “value” circulars as coupons, usually via the USPS.     The best way to fight the inexpensive and inferior offers consumers that see is to call professionals at AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex. We are the quality NADCA certified air duct cleaning team can be found in the Triangle, Lillington, Fayetteville, Sanford and more.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex offers five reasons to avoid using coupons and special offers for air duct cleaning:

• Air duct cleaning may not actually be necessary: It is important to inspect for obvious signs the HVAC system needs cleaning. If an accumulation of dust or other particles is evident near air duct inlets and outlets; if dust is everywhere on the contents of the building, or if the air is noticeably dirty, then the air ducts most probably need to be cleaned. If these signs are not present, air duct cleaning may be avoidable. If the need is uncertain, or the owner wants it done regardless, a professional inspection is very affordable using AdvantaClean.
• Coupons and special offers are often just a “bait and switch” tactic: Considering the equipment, the expertise, and hours required to perform an effective air duct or HVAC system cleaning, the low price offers of $25 or $50 dollars to do an entire home or business are just too good to be true. HVAC system problems identified by these types of contractors may be phony or exaggerated, and are usually intended to create extra charges; most or all of them unneeded.
• Proper cleaning of air ducts under NADCA standards always ensure good results and cleaner air: The methodology involves looking at every component of the HVAC system where air passes over, including coils, fans, filters, and heat exchangers. Special equipment such as brushes, air whips, compressed air nozzles, and a HEPA vacuum system are used to remove dust, debris, and other contaminants.
• Always use a NADCA certified company to avoid scams and extra expense: AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is a certified member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and adheres to a long list of standards for inspection, evaluation, cleaning, and restoration of HVAC systems.

5 Important Services from AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex Offers for Commercial Buildings

Proper maintenance of buildings for commercial, office, or institutional use in the Triangle requires a variety of specialized cleaning and other related services. Heating and cooling systems must be cleaned; moisture, mold, and odors must be kept under control, and fire hazards must be eliminated. In addition, achieving and maintaining high indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for buildings that are occupied by workers or residents. Doing so maintains the value of the buildings and protects owners from work disruptions, loss of use, and even legal action.  In North Carolina, heavy rains, tropical storms, and hurricanes like Matthew can cause flooding and water damage. This requires prompt attention, proper equipment, and well-trained people. AdvantaClean of Cary / Apex performs all of these services with the focus on customer service excellence.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important services to help maintain commercial buildings:

• Air duct cleaning: We are certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to inspect and clean air ducts in all types of commercial and institutional buildings. This is an important aspect of achieving high IAQ in office buildings, dormitories, and hotels.
• Dryer vent cleaning:  A leading cause of fire in commercial and institutional buildings with laundry facilities and apartment buildings can be minimized by having the dryer vents cleaned on a regular basis. AdvantaClean uses special equipment to free dryers of lint and debris.
• Air conditioner and PTAC cleaning: The coils on commercial air conditioning units and on the packaged terminal air conditioning units (PTAC) typically used in hotels should be cleaned regularly to enhance indoor air quality and maintain peak operating efficiency. AdvantaClean cleans many of these units on a regular basis.
• Mold and odor remediation: AdvantaClean is the leading mold specialist in the Triangle. We are certified by the IICRC for mold remediation, use laboratory testing for mold types, and use special equipment including HEPA vacuums. Our experience and specialized equipment help find and eliminating odors. We’ve seen it all through years of training and experience, and know what to look for to fix a mold or odor problem.
• Water damage restoration: Weather events like Hurricane Matthew and plumbing issues are the leading causes of water damage. These situations happen quickly and without a lot of notice, and both require immediate attention. Fortunately, AdvantaClean is available 24/7 to help reduce damage and loss of business.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the local Triangle firm to call when it comes to cleaning commercial HVAC air ducts, dryer vents, packaged terminal AC units (PTAC), and air conditioning coils.

5 Important Tips for Efficient Air Conditioning

July is usually the hottest month of the year in the Triangle, and that means air conditioning systems in homes and businesses are working extra hard to keep the indoors cool. It’s important from both a reliability and cost perspective to keep a building’s HVAC system operating at the peak efficiency. Since roughly 10 percent of all household energy use in North Carolina is air conditioning, it makes sense to keep HVAC systems running as smoothly as possible. There are a few simple tips home and business owners can do, in addition to having HVAC systems checked out by a trained and qualified technician once a year. AdvantaClean of Cary / Apex also offers a few services to help maintain HVAC system efficiency.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important tips for efficient air conditioning system operation:

• Replace the filters: Every HVAC system has filters that remove dust, debris, and small particles from the air flowing through the system. Over time, the filters become full of dust and particles, and air flow through them becomes restricted, making the HVAC system work harder. Changing filters at the proper interval, which varies by type of filter, prevents this from happening.
• Keep the air ducts clean: Large volumes air move through an HVAC system, whether heating or cooling is underway. While every system has a filter to trap dust and particles, a significant amount still accumulates in the air ducts. AdvantaClean is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to clean HVAC air ducts to maintain HVAC operating efficiency.
• Minimize internal sources of heat: Certain activities such as running the clothes dryer or turning the oven on can generate large amounts of heat, causing the air conditioning system to work harder; this is very important during hours of peak outdoor heat. Limiting these activities to morning and evening hours will reduce the peak cooling load on the AC system, reducing energy use.
• Keep the air conditioner evaporator coils clean: These coils are located in the air handler or blower unit, typically located in the attic. They cool the air and can also accumulate dust and debris over time, reducing their efficiency. AdvantaClean performs expert cleaning of residential and commercial air conditioning coils to maximize cooling system efficiency.
• Keep the condenser unit clear from obstructions: This is the outdoor unit that takes heat out of the air conditioning system, or removes heat from the home. It won’t function properly if obstructed by trees, shrubs, or anything else on the sides and top. Remove any obstructions so air can flow freely around the condenser.
  

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is a local Triangle company offering an array of services to help home and business owners maintain HVAC efficiency, maintain and improve indoor air quality, and recover from disasters. Along with regular inspection and maintenance from a qualified HVAC technician, our air duct cleaning and air conditioner coil cleaning services contribute to keeping people cool and healthy at home or work.

5 Important Business Services AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex Offers to Commercial Owners

Correctly maintaining and managing a commercial, institutional, or hospitality property in the Triangle can increase the productivity of workers and possibly reduce safety hazards. These processes ultimately save money and create positive results in more profitable businesses. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important consideration in the health of building occupants. Several factors are involved in improving and maintaining IAQ, such as keeping the HVAC system up-to-date and clean, and addressing any odor and mold issues that may arise. Older buildings may have long-standing problems with odors and mold, or have been impacted by water damage, and these issues should be remedied first in order to improve the property value and the health of people in the building. If the building has laundry facilities and associated dryer vents, getting the vents cleaned periodically can reduce or eliminate potential causes of fires.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is trained and experienced at helping building owners maintain HVAC systems, dryer vents, packaged terminal AC units (PTAC), and air conditioning coils. We also specialize in mold and odor remediation for commercial and institutional buildings. We are well known in North Carolina for excellent customer service, useful advice, and great results.

Every commercial HVAC system is different, and we will use the correct individual and customized approach to cleaning.

AdvantaClean is well-equipped to keep them free of lint and debris, and will advise on how often they need to be cleaned.
• Commercial air conditioner and PTAC cleaning: To operate with peak efficiency and stay in service for as long as possible, the coils on air conditioning units should be cleaned regularly. We know how and when to clean these units for good IAQ and lowest possible energy consumption.
• Commercial water damage restoration: AdvantaClean provides a fast and effective response to water damage from severe weather or plumbing system failures. We understand that getting the job done right is essential when it comes to minimizing down time and lost business.
