A growing awareness for our economic well being as well as our health is on the fore front of American business and homeowners today. Longevity in our bodies and our homes are values frequently sought. However, what has surpassed us is what may seem menial as our air duct and HVAC systems into playing a factor in those very concerns. What most Americans are oblivious too is the indoor air quality of our homes and businesses. Just as hospitals keep sterile air environments to ensure health restoration so must we keep for our homes and business. For the air we breath to live can be very culprit in making us ill with neglected systems and units, opening the door for severe allergies, prolonged colds, aggravation of respiratory illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis. And systems that suffer from neglect are susceptible to be in need of costly repairs or replacements. Overworked HVAC units cut their lifespans in half having the need for new units which can be a severe economic hit in this financial crisis of today.

TakAir is here to provide top of the line care and maintenance at affordable costs. We provide NADCA certified technicians to evaluate and inspect each unit and duct system to provide the best treatment plans specific to each individual system and teach each homeowner ways to maintain your systems annually to prevent future expensive repairs or replacements.

Health Benefits:

Air conditioning systems have been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to effect health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria and small particles of dust.

The removal of such contaminants from the home should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve your home's indoor air quality.

How Do We Clean The Air Ducts?

Remove all supply and return vent covers, brush and clean each one of them.

We utilize our high powered vacuum unit to remove bulk contaminants from the interior air duct surfaces. A long hose with a special brush-head is connected to the vacuum unit and inserted through the pipes, up to the furnace, to agitate and vacuum the dust ( it vacuums as it brushes). We reach 100% of the pipes!

Mold Treatment:

Why is mold growing in my house?
Molds are parts of the natural environment.
Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

Can mold cause health problems ?
Molds have the potential to cause health problems. 
Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritant, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).

Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold.

In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold allergic and non allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold.

How do I control and get rid of mold ?
If in the instance of water damage of any kind albeit in your HVAC system via clogged drain/leaky coil or rain/pipe damage, it is important to dry the affected areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent the mold growth from occurring. Mold spores are easily brought into the house via clothing, pets, shoes and open windows, and spread throughout the home by the AC/heating system.

If you already have a mold contamination or you suspect of one, call TakeAir immediately to have a qualified technician come inspect and treat the problem areas! Preventive measures can be taken against HVAC mold contamination or even after its been treated and it's better known as an Ultra Violet Lamp System.

 

Duct Replacement

Have you ever noticed your heating and cooling system runs all day but your home never reaches the desired temperature?
What about hot and cold spots in the home?
Or there is always one room that doesn't get enough air flow?
Maybe you've noticed dust in the furniture shortly after dusting?

If so your home could be suffering from leaky air duct system or not properly designed air duct system that can causes such things as increased energy usage (higher utility bills), decreased air flow and increased system failure.

 

Improper System Design

Imagine a runner going up the hill breathing through a straw.
How far do you thing he would get before he fell out?
Well, having a duct system that is too small it's the same thing.
Your heating and cooling system will age faster and deliver inconsistent loads of hot and cold air. On the other hand , if your duct system is too large for the heating and cooling system it takes longer to deliver the air in the home which creates weak air flow and also increased service problems. As your energy bills skyrocket, you are unable to maintain your home at your desired temperature.

70% of the duct systems are designed to small for the equipment they are connected to because it's a way to cut cost during a home's construction.

 

Leaky Air Duct System

Duct leakage can cause, or contribute to, a variety of other problems. In homes with forced-air systems, conditioned air is distributed throughout the house by air ducts. These ducts almost always have some leaks, sometimes rather large leaks and are often disconnected, especially in homes that are older than 10 years. Ductwork deteriorates over time and can be crushed, torn, or damaged by rodents or servicemen working in the attic. As air escapes into areas like attics, crawl spaces, or outdoors, energy and money is wasted and the air flow is uneven, leaving some rooms with virtually no heat or air conditioning.

More importantly, a leaky air duct system can inhale whatever pollutants are present, and circulate them into the home. Typical pollutants include dust, bacteria, insulation particles, insect debris and many other contaminants. This can cause many health problems, especially for those that suffer from allergies or asthma.

By replacing older or damaged air ducts with new high efficiency energy saving flexible ducting, the homeowner can improve indoor air quality, reduce utility costs and get more even air flow to all rooms. A complete duct replacement consists of removing all of the older ducting and replacing each section from the furnace to all the rooms in the home.

An average size home can be completed in one day and energy savings from replacing the ductwork can be substantial.
