Why Should You Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned?
Pet dander, cooking oils, air fresheners, mold, dirt, mildew, insecticides, dust, paint and aerosol sprays are just a few of the contaminants that drift through the air in our homes. These fragments eventually come to rest inside of the air ducts in even the cleanest of homes.
Particles of dust, pollen and other debris routinely found in all types of heating and cooling systems are some of the main causes of contaminated air in residential housing. If moisture is present, the potential for the growth of mold is increased and spores from such growth can be released into the home's living space. Every time the blower to your furnace or air conditioner comes on, pollutants are blown into your living space, causing the air you breathe to be far less than clean. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people that are exposed to them. The American Lung Association states, "fragile lung tissue can be easily damaged by pollutants in the air, resulting in an increased risk of asthma, allergies and bronchitis".
A dirty system can also be costly, as dirty furnace components can cause a myriad of problems from rust to overheating to a/c coil freeze ups. By simply keeping your heating and cooling systems clean, removing debris from sensitive mechanical components, you may avoid costly repairs and keep them working in top-notch condition for many years to come. Having your ducts cleaned regularly will help you improve the indoor air quality in your home while also enhancing the efficiency of your system, which could also reduce your energy bills.

We At Apex Duct And Chimney Cleaning Are
Constantly Striving To Lessen Our Impact On Our Planet!

Can a Disinfectant Be Less Toxic Than Vinegar And Still Kill Germs?
The disinfectant we use is a revolutionary blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb Thyme. Traditional synthetic chemicals use quaternary ammonia or chlorine to kill germs, however, using the essential oils from plants allows us to achieve an unprecedented Efficacy & Safety profile. This is perfect for our clients that are hyper sensitive to normal disinfectants and cleaners. We're only one of a few companies that uses this product. This alone puts us at least head and shoulders above our competitors that are not using this product. To put it simply, our disinfectant is a "plant immune system" in a bottle.
Do You Worry About The Toxicity Of The Antimicrobials You Use To Kill Germs?
Our disinfectant surpasses germ killing requirements for hospital disinfectants. The ingredients are categorized as (GRAS) and as Direct Food Additives by the FDA.
Our disinfectant is an (EPA) approved, 100% organic cleaning solution. It successfully kills most harmful bacteria, germs, and odors.

In fact, unless steps are taken to correct the problems, indoor San Diego air quality can be three to five times worse that the air outside the home. San Diego residents run the risk of substantially lowering the indoor air quality of their homes when toxins that enter from the surrounding high pollution environment are unable to leave the home and become concentrated inside. Those outdoor toxins find their way into homes by accumulating in dirty indoor air ducts.
An EPA study found that the majority of people now spend 90% of their time indoors. Unfortunately, that indoor air is likely to be more polluted than the air outside. The lower San Diego air quality means that area residents must take steps to improve the quality of indoor air.
Simple Ways to Improve Interior San Diego Air Quality
To improve indoor air quality, home owners should do the following:
![]() |
Stop smoking inside the home immediately. The tar and nicotine are a toxic environmental bomb.
|
||
![]() |
Install an ozone filter. To help keep ozone levels in your home, be aware than machinery such as computers and printers contribute high levels of ozone to their local environment. Turn off these devices when not in use to keep your indoor air quality cleaner.
|
||
![]() |
Have your ducts cleaned on a regular basis. Dirt, dust, and other debris builds up in ducts when they are not in regular use. Once the season changes and there is regular air flow through them once again, the toxins and particulates that have entered your home and settled in your ducts can be blown out into the living area allowing you and your family to be placed in danger of breathing them in.
|
||
![]() |
Service your air conditioning system on a regular basis. This includes filters as well as cleaning. Air conditioning systems provide a good local environment for molds (dark & damp areas), which rapidly destroy indoor air quality.
