Why should I have my air ducts cleaned?

Indoor air is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Contaminants can cause system to work harder or even malfunction, as well as the health consequences to breathing in dirty air, especially with people with known respiratory problems, or children and elderly.

How we clean your air ducts?

Burns Air Care uses top-of-the-line equipment. We use a negative air machine, which is connected to the main section of the furnace, filtering all air through a three-stage filter, the third of which is a HEPA filter. As we run this negative air machine, we guide an air line through each vent, loosening the dust, and allowing the machine to suction the dust and debris into the dust trap built into the negative air machine. Upon completion, the dust is rolled out your front door, and discarded.
