Widmer’s Offers Indoor Air Quality Testing

In today's air tight homes, Indoor Air Quality is a growing concern. Most household dust contains dust mites, mold, mildew, pollen and animal dander. Many of these contaminants are circulated through the central air systems in modern homes and can aggravate asthma and allergies.

Widmer’s is Part of the National Air Duct Cleaning Association. NADCA regulates the pricing and procedures that our qualified technicians must use. Air Duct Cleaning Can Rid Your Ducts of: Dirt and Debris, Mold, Pollen, Dust Mites and Improve the Efficiency of your HVAC system.

As qualified NADCA professionals, our certified technicians use the latest technologically advanced and industry approved equipment to remove particulate and microbial contaminants.

• To begin the process, our technicians inspect your ductwork to determine the level of contamination.
• Measures are taken to protect your home and furnishings.
• An access opening is created, when possible, in the supply side of the HVAC system and a powerful stream of air (75 mph) is introduced to your ductwork.
• Depending on the type of ducting in your home, we use various brushes and air powered tools to loosen air contaminates.
• This air stirs up loose residues and pushes them towards the environmental vacuum.
• Registers are air cleaned and wiped down.
• The fan is vacuumed, cleaned, and an air freshener can be installed.
• Your system is test operated.

After Your Ducts Have Been Cleaned

You should notice a difference in about three days. Just remember that the average family of four tracks in roughly 2 1/2 pounds of dirt a week. In order for you to manage the problem, here are some helpful hints.

• Have your Air Duct System cleaned every 5-7 years.
• You should invest in a good furnace type air-cleaner. If you have one, clean it every 30 days.
• Keep the cold air returns dusted off.
• Take off all register covers and wash when noticeably dirty. Also vacuum down the ducts with your vacuum at least once per year.
• If you have a cold air return near a fireplace, cover it when burning a fire.
• Never run your furnace fan with your windows open.
• Have your furnace and air conditioner cleaned and checked at a minimum of every two years. Make sure fan and fan cage area is cleaned.
• If you have a humidifier, change the filter as specified.
• When purchasing a vacuum cleaner, along with cost and vacuum power also consider filtration of escaping dust.
• Cement floors give off dust; therefore they should either be painted or sealed to prevent excess dust from entering the furnace system.
• If the furnace is located in the same room as the washer and dryer, a door should be left open while the dryer is running so that lint does not accumulate inside burners.
• Flexible dryer vents should be removed and replaced with straight piping.
• Do not store boxes on or around your furnace.
• Carpets act like a filter and trap debris. That is why you should have your carpets cleaned on a regular basis.
