			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Extracting dust from the air duct work, by means of duct cleaning, is very beneficial to the air quality in one&#8217;s home. Dust is accumulated more in indoor areas than outdoor areas, and this form of dust creates the perfect atmosphere for mites and bacteria to grow, which are harmful to health especially if there are small children playing in different nooks and corners of the house.</p>
<p>Our home&#8217;s HVAC (Heat Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system is operated throughout the year which causes dust, dirt &amp; debrs to accumulate more dust. Moreover, since air conditioners ensure the process of ventilation, they have dust trapped in them which gives rise to various allergens. Therefore, numerous businesses have duct cleaning services designed for HVAC systems such as air conditioning systems, dehumidifiers and heaters. The air channels of these machines can be properly cleaned with specialized brushes and blowers.</p>
<p> Maintain Your Heating/Cooling Equipment
<p>Duct cleaning not only reduces the incidence of dust allergies, but also ensures that your HVAC machine is properly maintained. You heaters and air conditions will work more effectively with proper cleaning. For example, if air conditioners are properly cleaned, they will be effective in their cooling process. In this way, the compressor of the AC is also not burdened too much, so then in a indirect way it also reduces your electricity bill.</p>
<p>This is also true for heaters and dehumidifiers, if they&#8217;re cleaned utilizing the duct cleaning technique, their air passages won&#8217;t be clogged and won&#8217;t require as much maintenance. We&#8217;ve found that when air passages of HVAC systems aren&#8217;t clogged with dust and dirt, and are cleaned correctly, they last a lot longer. In addition, the true fittings of HVAC systems stay in place so you won&#8217;t have to switch them with other components because they aren&#8217;t working correctly. Thus, if one desires to make sure that his AC and heating systems is more durable, he must certainly get a duct cleaning system. Clean your systems each season so that you can feel secure your family can be healthy since they won&#8217;t be be affected by allergies and dust related issues like ashma and various lung ailments. </p>
<p> Indoor Air Quality
<p>Since pollution has turned into a worldwide problem, we, as responsible inhabitants of the earth, must ensure that we take care of it. &#8220;The whole community will benefit when we collectively clean our ducts with the hopes of others following suit.. To have a cleaner, pollution free and eco-friendly environment, our whole society needs to promote duct cleaning. Cleaning ducts can be costly, yet the advantages definitely are greater than the expenses, particularly when one views it in the context of environmental issues that we face.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Improve Indoor Air Quality with Regular Duct Cleaning in Philly</h3>
<p>Dirty air duct systems are a major source of indoor air pollution. Airborne contaminants are drawn into the air ducts, through the cold air return, every time the heating and cooling system runs. As time goes on, microbial growth, fungi, bacteria and more accumulate and become a problem source.</p>
<p>If you are a homeowner with central air conditioning installed, you will find this to be especially true. The cool, damp air produced by the evaporator, is disbursed throughout your air ductwork. Mold spores will flourish in these conditions even though it does create a very cozy environment within your home.</p>
<h3>Depending on Filters is Not Enough</h3>
<p>Dirt and debris drawn into the air duct system also pass through pleated filters and infiltrate into HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment, undermining the performance and energy efficiency of these systems. That can lead to higher repair and maintenance costs, and shorter service life in the long run.</p>
<h3>The EPA Says:</h3>
<p>According to the EPA, just a small amount of build-up on an a-coil can reduce your systems efficiency by more than 20%.</p>
<p>HVAC manufacturers all recommend an annual <a target="_blank" title="furnace cleaning" href="http://phillyductcleaning.com/2008/03/philly-furnace-cleaning-greater-philadelphia-pa/">furnace cleaning</a>, tune-up and inspection of your furnace. When you factor in what the EPA says and what each manufacturer suggests, you might want to consider having your furnace and air ducts cleaned annually. <strong>Call today to get on the <a target="_blank" title="Phila Duct Cleaning" href="http://ductcleaningphilly.com/rotary-brush-duct-cleaning.php">Duct Cleaning Philadelphia</a> Schedule!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Creature comforts such as a well-maintained environment are commonplace throughout most of the world. You wish to have a arctic cool home in summer which is warm and cozy in winter given the temperatures that vary greatly at every latitude. To receive optimum operating efficiency, you need to make sure you have many matters in place.</p>
<p> Energy Star is a primary measurement for efficient energy consumption and they offer several tips for smart energy consumption. You should make sure that home is insulated properly. Air leaks lead to heating and cooling of outside air as well as inside air which is undesirable. You will have to go around your house and check your doorjambs, attic and window frames etc for possible air leaks. It is suggested that you should have enough insulation in the attic that major heat or cold is not leaking in. The exterior envelope and shell should be impenetrable. Run your hand along the edges of your window and door seals when checking for your leaks. There are various options to the seal leaks that your house might be suffering. They include foam strips, caulking and sealant material available at any hardware store.</p>
<p> Duct problems can be alleviated by making sure they are air tight, properly sized for your system as well as keeping them clear of debris. Hiring a contractor with the correct equipment is the best way to do this. Ducts should not be tangled or crushed, but lay flat. Kinks can cause stress, which will cause fractures and thereby leaks. Duct tape, despite its name, is not necessarily the perfect insulation answer for ductwork. Insulation specifically for ductwork is the best, and you should search for something with a six or higher R rating. Have your <a target="_blank" title="HVAC Contractors" href="http://www.cleanairnc.com">hvac contractor</a> perform a combustion safety test before they leave so you can be assured there will be no backdraft of gasses or oils.</p>
<p> Its advisable to go for new heat pumps or airconditioning systems if the existing systems are over twelve years old. With the advancement of technology, there will always be something better in the future to cool or heat your home than something that is older. When you go to purchase a new system, dont be dismayed if the unit looks much smaller in size than the earlier one you had. Much like computer chips getting smaller so has the technology for <a target="_blank" title="Heat Pumps and Air Conditioning Services" href="http://www.cleanairnc.com/services">heat pumps and air conditioners</a> shrunk in comparison to their grandparents. Your current system should be cycling on and off a t the designated time on your thermostat. Lubricated parts will have the system running smoothly. Clean your air conditioner coils for proper function and retain your coolant levels.</p>
<p> When trying to keep your home arctic cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter, purchase and maintain the system right for your home. Furnaces will run on gas or electric while boilers usually run on gas or oil. Baseboard heaters and radiant floor systems circulate the heat throughout the home and your budget will be the largest determining factor between the two. Central air conditioners have a higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) than in days past. Heat pumps are used largely in moderate climates and calibrate between outdoor and indoor temperatures to do the cooling and heating. Programmable thermostats are an excellent item to purchase as they can keep the temperatures set at a constant energy saving level. With all of these points in place, you should be able to enjoy your indoor home for years to come!</p>
