Nortex Heating & Air Conditioning

Professional air duct cleaning performed by Nortex Professionals local to Allen, Texas company . The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) refers to the ventilation duct system as the lungs of the home, taking air in and blowing air out. Indoor air contains dust, pollen and other pollutants that deposit themselves in the air conditioning and heating duct work. When dust or mold spores build up, it can irritate people who have allergies, sinus or respiratory problems. The contaminants can be safely cleaned with HVAC duct brushes to release dust and high powered contact vacuum to capture it. Our truck mounted system with specially made vent cleaning brushes and vacuums go as far as possible through the ducts, delivering the best air duct cleaning results. The dust and mold moves into our vacuum, out to our truck and out of your life.

NADCA’s rule of thumb for consumers is that “if your ducts look dirty, they probably are,” and that dirty HVAC systems should be inspected by a reputable, certified HVAC professional. Below are some other reasons homeowners choose to have their air ducts cleaned.

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. In a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living. Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home. The system taken air in and breathes air out.

Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the duct work.

While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.

Energy Savings

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.

When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness.
