Dryer Vent Safety in Cary and Apex NC

One highly overlooked, yet remarkably under-estimated service that AdvantaClean provides for homes and businesses is dryer vent cleaning.  This cost effective service not only lowers energy bills, it also lowers the risk of fires!  For any home or business owner, it is recommended having dryer vents cleaned once a year.  But apart from this rule of thumb there are several warning signs that can mean it is time for a clean!

Dryer vents need a complete cleaning if:

• There is an increase in the energy bill!
• Dryers are hot to the touch after running.
• More than one cycle is needed to dry a load of clothes.
• Clothes smell “musty” after being in the dryer.

The dryer vents are the ductwork which connects a dryer to the outside world. These vents can become clogged with debris over time, mostly clothing fiber like cotton, polyester and wool. These highly flammable materials can be a major hazard to the integrity of a building, and its resistance to fires.

Cleaning dryer ducts can reduce fire hazard levels and:

• Increase the efficiency of the appliance, lowering energy bills.
• Extend the life of the appliance, and of your home or business!
• Clothes will dry more quickly and evenly.
• Reduce the risk of mold or mildew growth on clothes and in the building.
• Give peace of mind by knowing that fire risk is greatly reduced!

If any of the above factors are showing up in your dryer, do not waste time in calling AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex to remedy the situation.  Our team of licensed professionals will efficiently handle the vent cleaning, and make sure the building is secure from any potential of fire damage caused by the neglect of dryer vents.  Call us TODAY to have your vents assessed, and be assured that your home or business will continue to be safe and sound.

You family and your home depend on it.

3 Reasons to Have Office and Home Air Ducts Cleaned Today!

Perhaps the most important factor that determines health here in the Triangle is the quality of the air we breathe in our homes and offices.  Environmental circumstances can affect air quality, making the air unique from place to place.  If you live near the ocean, the air is salty.  If you live near a city, there may be smog in the air.  However, because the air inside buildings is controlled, it has much less environmental variation.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) determined that Americans spend much more than half of our day inside.  This means, more than half the air we breathe is controlled through ventilation systems and ductwork.  This also means that the cleanliness of the duct work throughout the home or building directly affects the health of everyone who loves or works there.

The experienced professional team at AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex understands the importance of a building’s ductwork, and genuinely care about the health of the good people here in Central North Carolina.  A building’s air duct system, be it a commercial, industrial, governmental or residential building, must be regularly cleaned and maintained.  There is no better company to handle this maintenance properly and efficiently in the Triangle.  When it comes to air quality and healthier living, your air is in good hands with AdvantaClean!

Here are three undeniable reasons to have an air duct cleaning by AdvantaClean:

• Health: Through regular occupancy of a building, several allergens are released into the air.  As the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system circulates the air, these allergens are continuously moving throughout the building.  This is true in homes, office buildings, industrial buildings, businesses or any other commercial buildings. Having a rigorous air duct cleaning performed, consistent with NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines, by a certified AdvantaClean specialist will improve the health of everyone who occupies the building.
• Efficiency: If there is poor circulation coming from a HVAC system, having it cleaned professionally will increase both functionality and efficiency.  The utility bill will directly benefit from the cleanliness and function of the HVAC system!
• Peace of mind: Having air ducts maintained regularly will reduce several insurance risks!  Ensure the health of family members, employees, clients and patients, as well as the life of the building, by keeping air ducts clean!

Health is the number one concern of AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex.  Call today to schedule a free evaluation of your air duct system, and start breathing easier!

4 Environmental Services in Apex & Cary that Promote Healthy Living!

A recent survey of national activity patterns concluded that most people spend about 90% of their daily lives indoors.  Between work and home, there is a very good chance that most people are inside for most of the day.

There is a reason for the varying quality of the air people breathe.  Most buildings have ventilation systems which filters the air. These systems, as well as the functionality of the building’s internal environment, contribute to the quality of the air that is circulated. There is truth in the fact that air quality influences our level of health!  That’s why it is essential that we keep buildings optimized for quality air filtration.  The mission of AdvantaClean Environmental of Apex/ Cary is to do just that in both residential and commercial properties.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex has 20 years of combined experience in air quality optimization!  Our goal is to increase air quality to promote healthier living at home, in the office or any other place we spend time inside.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex can offer these principal four services, as well as others, to promote cleaner air and healthier living:

• Mold Remediation.  Mold in a home, business or office building can cause extremely harmful spores to enter the air, making it dangerous to breathe.  Keeping a building mold free is very important for the health of the people who live and work inside.  AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex can inspect, test for and remove mold.
• Air Duct Cleaning.  The air ducts and filters keep air clean and breathable.  They should be cleaned regularly to ensure maximum filtration, and to keep good quality air circulating within the building.
• Water Damage Restoration.  Water damage is the leading cause of mold and mildew formation inside a building or home.  Stop problems before they start by having a professional cleaning by our team of experts immediately after the damage occurs.
• Dryer Vent Cleaning.  This is a key aspect of residential maintenance in homes today.  Cleaning the dryer vent improves the quality of air in a home, as well as the efficiency of the appliance itself.  This regular service will usually lower the energy bill on a monthly basis!

Don’t let any of these issues affect the quality of air in home and office. Call AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex to get an air quality assessment, and start living a healthier life!
