Once on the scene, trained Sears professionals utilize powerful, truck-mounted equipment to clear your air ducts of dust, debris, pet dander, allergens and grime. This powerful suction equipment essentially vacuums out years of accumulated dust from the air ducts, leaving them clean and clear. Once finished, our technicians remove all equipment and make sure that your ducts and HVAC unit are restored to their former condition.

Your HVAC unit and air ducts deliver heated or cooled air keeping you comfortable in your home year-in and year-out.

The EPA specifically defines the dust and other particles in your home’s air as particulate matter, “a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets.” In fact, the EPA also notes that, “Particle pollution is made up of a number of components, specifically acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles.”

While your HVAC filter is designed to trap this particulate matter and prevent it from entering your air ducts, nevertheless particles still get through. The amount of particles your HVAC filter traps also coincides with the quality of air in your home: the lower the quality of air, the more particles your filter will trap, consequently rendering your filter useless. If these particles are allowed to build up, your HVAC system can become less efficient, despite its age, having to operate longer to heat or cool your home.

Generally, an inefficient HVAC system can result in inconsistent heating or cooling, higher utility costs, and expensive HVAC unit repairs (for instance, an A-coil or blower motor) if the problem is left unchecked. Air duct cleaning from Sears, which focuses on the dirt in your air ducts, can also boost the efficiency of a dirty HVAC system, cleaning out the particulate matter that can eventually hinder HVAC effectiveness.

Dryer vents become clogged in a variety of ways. Firstly a lengthy distance on a dryer ventilation duct can contain bends and curves where lint is most likely to collect.

Secondly, since dryer ventilation tubes are typically made from pliable plastic or foil, they can be easily crushed or dented, increasing the likelihood of lint clogs and stoppage.

Furthermore, a poorly connected ventilation duct or dryer vent screen can also trap lint,  while most ventilation screens serve as a barrier preventing animals from accessing the ventilation, they can similarly  become a barrier for lint.
