When the temperature drops in southern Utah, what do you do? Most home owners turn up the heat!!!

Have you had you ducts clean lately? This is something to consider! Especially if you plan on hosting a party for the holidays!

What is Duct Cleaning?

Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

Why Maintain Ducts?

If not properly installed, maintained, and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust or other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for mold is increased and spores from such growth may be released into the home’s living space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms if exposure occurs. It is better to be safe than sorry! Being healthy is a priority. Especially around the holidays. You and your family need to be at your best to enjoy all the festivities and gatherings.

Is There a Way to Prevent Re occurrences?

In addition, HiCaliber applies chemical biocides, designed to kill microbiological contaminants to the inside of the duct work and to other system components. HiCaliber can also apply chemical treatments to encapsulate or cover the inside surfaces of the air ducts and equipment housings to help control mold growth and prevent the release of dirt particles or fibers from occurring.
