"Hoover’s was the ONLY one to get back to me and rather quickly. I decided to go ahead and use them. Aaron and Marcos were very professional and polite. Cleaned my HVAC ducts, exhaust vents, and my dryer vent (which was really dirty btw) in a timely manner and put everything back on when they were done. They cleaned up after themselves and even covered my stuff with plastic as they went. They took off their shoes as they came in and put down towels on the corners of furniture and the walls to avoid damaging them. Not sure if they were the cheapest option but they were the best option in my opinion. I’d definitely use them again. Thank you Marshall for answering me back and Aaron and Marcos for taking care of my vents."

"excellent - Klean Force uses an outside lab to analyze the mold & determine type which I think is important. Gary was very responsive and when they started remediation, the black mold was worse than expected. They were helpful in determining the source of the leak, which confirmed the fix we had done. The remediation was a neat as possible. I would recommend them for any testing and remediation."

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Cleaning air ducts improves indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and contaminants that can cause respiratory issues and allergies. Clean ducts also enhance the efficiency and life span of HVAC systems by allowing for better airflow, reducing strain on the system, and lowering energy consumption, which can lead to reduced utility bills.

A floor return vent needs a clearance of between 6 and 12 inches in front of it. You should not place large furniture, such as shelves, drapes, or couches, directly in front of a return air vent.

When you insulate ductwork, you help protect the air moving through the system from external conditions and keep it sealed within the ducts. This makes your HVAC system more efficient since it doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool your home. Insulation can help lower your energy bills and prevent problems like condensation and mold formation inside your ducts.

In most homes, your chimney and HVAC are separate from each other. However, you can use your chimney to save on heating costs in the winter. Turn off your HVAC system and start a cozy fire, then watch the electric bills drop during the coldest months. Make sure your flue is closed when not in use so that you don’t end up pumping heat or cool air from your system outside.

While having a return vent in every room is unnecessary, it’s becoming more common in modern homes. You should ensure a balanced distribution of these vents throughout your home. This ensures that air circulates effectively, preventing hot or cold spots.
