issues with home air quality

The Truth About In-home Air Cleaners

Did you know that indoor air pollution is a top five environmental health risk? We all want the air quality in our home to be as clean and comfortable as possible. But the tricky thing about air quality is that so much that is harmful to us is undetectable with our noses.

Dust, cleaning chemicals, pet dander, humidity, bacteria, and just plain stale air have led many of us to pursue air purifiers and clean air systems to protect and improve our homes. While allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues are among the health reasons to pursue an air cleaner, dust and airborne contaminants also impact furniture, wallpaper, drapes, carpeting, and can cause paint to flake.  


Limited Performance
Many ‘air purifiers’ on the market are really just dust filters. They’re offered at low prices online or at big-box retailers. But, a closer look at these ‘bargains’ indicate that they basically just have a fan, some type of filter, and some controls.  They usually have just a fine mesh carbon filter – nothing like the solid carbon found in a true air purifier. These are only as good as how frequently you change this thin filter. Even then, their impact is limited to a few feet around where you put them in a room.  


Does Your Home Need Cleaner Air?
Are you sneezing or having frequent headaches? Is your furniture dusty? Is asthma an issue? Are you concerned about odors, mold, or airborne bacteria and fungus? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you need a clean air solution. Regardless how well you clean your home, a ‘real’ comprehensive Home Air Purifier will help.  


A Comprehensive In-Home Solution
The most effective solution to improve indoor air quality is a purifier system that attaches to your home’s central heating and cooling system. Sure, there are portable units that can be moved from room to room, but cleaner air is a whole house matter. Therefore, the best choice is a ‘real’ solution – a purifier system that is attached to your furnace. It will measurably improve air quality throughout your entire home, not just an individual room or area.

The truth about cleaning air ducts

Out of sight, so out of mind – but so important!

WHY CLEANING AIR DUCTS MATTERS

The air ducts in your home are one of those areas that easy to forget about. Out of sight, out of mind. But when you consider that all of the air in your home flows through your air ducts, you can imagine that a well maintained system is important.

All sorts of factors affect the quality of air that you breathe inside your home. For example - nearby road construction, nearby farming activity, wood burning fireplaces, cooking, cleaning products, and humidity. While the cautious EPA says scientific studies are inconclusive about the impact of dirty air ducts on indoor air quality, it’s common sense to have an expert inspect ductwork of your home to insure its integrity and to protect your family.

HOW WE DO IT

We use Rotobrush’s Air Duct Cleaning Machines and systems to properly remove unwanted contaminants and improve your indoor air quality.

Our duct cleaning process goes one step further by using Rotobrush’s sophisticated video inspection equipment. The video inspection equipment allows us show you the dirt and debris deep inside your vents.

Our Rotobrush equipment is also used for inspecting and cleaning dry vents. Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct, impacting efficiency. This creates potentially hazardous conditions including the increased risk of fires. A blocked gas clothes dryer can also force carbon monoxide back into your home. An annual inspection and cleaning by Buck's Heating and Air can keep your dryer venting efficiently and safely.

Our goal is to make sure that your home is the safest and most comfortable place for you and your entire family. We provide you with superior HVAC systems services to ensure that your systems are functioning at their optimum level at all times. Buck’s Heating and Air will also work with you to make sure that you are breathing in excellent air quality in your home.
