Indoor Air Quality – Duct Cleaning
There's more to your home's indoor air quality than your heating and air conditioning system. Each time your furnace or air conditioner turns on, contaminants circulate throughout your home and affect the health and comfort of your family. Duct cleaning removes dirt, dust, pollen and other contaminants from the air ducts in your home. Your duct system functions as the respiratory system of your home. When it becomes contaminated and congested, it should be cleaned so it can breathe normally and efficiently.
Our “Duct Whip” process helps remove indoor air contaminants such as dust mites, pollen, animal hair, dust and smoke residue for purer, healthier air. In addition to the obvious health benefits, duct cleaning can help you maintain a cleaner home. It also helps to restore system capacity and decrease running time, resulting in lower heating and cooling bills. Humidifiers and air purification filters can help to keep the air environment in your home clean and comfortable too.
Indoor Air Quality – Duct Sealing
It's likely you're living with leaky air ducts, which means you're losing more than air. You're also losing comfort – up to 40% of your heated and cooled air. Not to mention the money spent on energy bills that are higher than they should be. Holes in your ductwork can also lower the air quality because they suction external dust, insulation fibers and mold.
Leaky ducts may be to blame if any of these conditions sound familiar:
- Rooms farthest from the central air conditioner/furnace are noticeably warmer/cooler than other rooms.
- It's difficult, if not impossible, to keep your upstairs and downstairs equally comfortable.
- There's excessive dust in the house.

Indoor Air Quality – Equipment
Air quality can affect your comfort and health as much as air temperature. Dust mites, pollen, mold, mildew, viruses, bacteria, animal dander, smoke residue, dirt, soot, lint, and more are always circulating in the air. These common indoor contaminants can aggravate allergies, asthma and respiratory illnesses. They can also make perfectly healthy people less comfortable and more susceptible to illness. If you would like to increase your air comfort, we can offer several options including:
- Electronic air cleaners
- Ultraviolet lights
- Air exchange systems
- Air humidification
You’ll find that Nicor Home Services can provide many solutions to increase the comfort of your home.
