But they wouldn\u2019t be able to heat and cool your home at all if it wasn\u2019t for the unsung hero of the HVAC system: your ductwork.

We\u2019ve got a rundown for you.

We\u2019ve got the tools, training, and experience to get the ducts meticulously clean without risking any damage to the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct cleaning should be done every few years, or more often if you have allergies, heavily shedding pets, or other sources of excess dust. You should also schedule a duct cleaning if you smell anything odd or unpleasant coming from your vents, such as mildew, rot, or sourness. It\u2019s all too common for a small amount of moisture in ducts to result in mold, pests, or bacterial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duct Sanitizing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to removing dusty buildup, qualified technicians can sanitize the inside of ductwork. While there\u2019s negative pressure in the duct system, sucking inward, a sanitizing agent is applied. This will neutralize bacteria, viruses, allergens, mold spores, and other unpleasant pathogens inside the ducts. That\u2019s a whole different level of clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blower Wheel Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This oft-neglected component of your HVAC system can get caked with fine, silty dust, pet hair, and more. The blower wheel assembly needs to be taken apart by a skilled technician in order to be thoroughly cleaned. Again, this should be done every few years, or more often in the case of issues with allergens, pet hair, or excess dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air Purifiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your ductwork is clean and sanitized, you\u2019ll be breathing fresh air free from contaminants and germs, right? Well\u2026 only until more germs work their way into your HVAC system. The good news is that you can get an air purifier to keep your ducts, and therefore your home and family, clean and healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Air Quality Special Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, we\u2019re offering a special IAQ package! You can have your ducts cleaned and sanitized, your blower wheel cleaned, and an air purifier installed all at the same time. The price could be as low as $37 a month! <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Contact Crown Group Ohio today<\/strong><\/a><strong> with any questions or to make an appointment.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of services do your ducts need?
