What if you could go inside for a breath of fresh air?Thank you for considering Burke Duct Cleaning for your air duct cleaning needs. Every situation is different, and we certainly don't presume to know yours, but it may feel good to know you are not alone. Here are some situations we hear about on the regular.
Situation #1 - You've dusted, vacuumed, cleaned all the surfaces, even aired out the house, but the freshness you were aiming for just isn't happening. There is something in the air that doesn't belong, and you don't like it. Situation #2 - You have allergies. In the past you've reacted to things in places outside of your home, but lately your home hasn't been the safe haven it used to be. You've changed the filters on your HVAC, but that's not working as well as it used to, lately. Situation #3 - You don't mind if your house smells like something, but you'd rather it didn't smell like the last people who owned it. You've changed carpet, painted walls, but erasing your home's memory of that smell...if building cost weren't what they are these days, you'd be tempted to tear the place down and build again. If you can relate to any of these situations, nine times out of ten, cleaning your air ducts will help! Situation #4 - You don't need us to remind you of the importance of cleaning the air ducts it your home. You have them done every two to three years, as recommended, and they are coming due to be cleaned again. In any and all of these situations, thank you for considering Burke Duct Cleaning for all or your air duct cleaning needs. We are grateful for the opportunity to earn your business and ready to answer any questions you may have. |

Working from home?In his article for the International Journal for Indoor Environment and Health, David Wyon concludes,
"It has now been shown beyond reasonable doubt that poor indoor air quality in buildings can decrease productivity in addition to causing visitors to express dissatisfaction. The size of the effect on most aspects of office work performance appears to be as high as 6-9%, the higher value being obtained in field validation studies. It is usually more energy-efficient to eliminate sources of pollution than to increase outdoor air supply rates." It's going to take time for reliable studies to be made available concerning the health effects of workforce migration to a remote (and most often home) setting, but if your home is your new office, or more so than it was, you may want to give more attention to the air you are breathing. Cleaning those ducts is one way to do that! |
Our services...
Air DuctsIf your house it new or over ten years old, you think you have a mold problem, or you dust and dust but it doesn't seem to get the job done, it's time to clean your ducts. Unlike attic insulation which often surrounds the air ducts in your home, buildup inside your ducts does nothing to improved the environmental conditions of your home, and may indeed make several harmful contributions.

FiltersFilters should generally be changed every 90 days. This is not just for the health of the air in your home but for the longevity of the components in your HVAC. This is an area of house cleaning that is easy to overlook, unless you have allergies, in which case you can probably pinpoint the moment your filters have gone out of date. If you are heating or cooling your home, changing air filters is one of the most significant determinants of the air quality in your home.

HVACSpeaking of that HVAC... Cleaning the ducts in your home is important, but it's a job half done if the cleaning job fails to include the components of your HVAC. You may have employed other cleaning services, ranging from carpet cleaning to window cleaning, but you haven't attended to this, there is a good chance you will be changing your HVAC out well before you would have needed to.

Dryer ExhaustThis has been in the news in recent years, due to the fire hazard posed by dryer exhaust clogged with lint. It's easy to overlook, but fix this and your clothes will dry better too! This is another area of house cleaning that is easy to overlook, for the simple reason that you can't see the buildup and it doesn't usually announce itself as a problem...until it does. One sign of this is that your clothes aren't getting as dry as they used to get. Another sign is that your house is catching on fire.
