Duct Cleaning and Ventilation Systems - Utah
The air ducts in your home are one of the most important systems for circulating clean air throughout your home on a daily basis. Your home's duct system is a branching network of sheet metal tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings. It carries the air from your home's furnace and air conditioner unit to each room. If the ducts are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely to contribute to higher energy bills. Maintaining the duct system including duct cleaning and ventilation management is a smart way to protect your heating and cooling system investment, keep energy bills in check, and make sure you and your family are breathing clean air.
At CMC Heating and Air we specialize in the maintenance of not only your furnace and air conditioner but the duct system as well. We offer duct cleaning and ventilation management that will both improve HVAC efficiency and lessen indoor air contaminants.
Air Duct Services in Salt Lake City include:
Residential air duct cleaning - According to the EPA, indoor air is up to seven times as contaminated as outdoor air. Thorough duct cleaning helps to maintain the health and safety of your family. Annual duct cleaning is recommended, and more frequent cleaning may be recommended if you suffer from respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchitis, smoke, have pets, or recently completed a remodeling project where a lot of dust has likely settled into the ductwork.
Ductwork insulation - Insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces is usually very cost-effective. If you are installing a new duct system, make sure it comes with insulation.
Indoor air quality assessments – We will assess the quality of the air inside your home at your request and recommend cleaning, sealing, or repair of the ductwork. We may also recommend an air purifier or humidifier.
Ductwork sealing - Sealing your ducts to prevent leaks is even more important if the ducts are located in an un-airconditioned area such as an attic or crawlspace. Similarly, ducts that leak warm air into unheated spaces can add hundreds of dollars a year to your heating and cooling bills.
Ductwork repair - Although minor duct repairs are easy to make, qualified professionals should seal and insulate ducts in unconditioned spaces to ensure the use of appropriate sealing materials. Our technicians are highly trained and will make sure any repairs are done safely and efficiently.
