Changing Air Filters In Your Home

January 17, 2025/in Air Quality
Maintaining clean air filters in your home goes beyond just your HVAC system. While changing your central HVAC air filter every 45-60 days is crucial, it’s equally important to consider other filters that impact your indoor air quality.
One often overlooked filter is your vacuum cleaner’s filter. A dirty vacuum filter can significantly contribute to poor indoor air quality.
When you vacuum with a clogged filter, the airflow forces contaminants through the filter and back into your home’s air. This process essentially defeats the purpose of vacuuming, as it redistributes dust, bacteria, and other particles throughout your living space.

To maintain optimal air quality, remember to:

  1. Change or clean your vacuum filter regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Check and replace other household filters, such as those in air purifiers or range hoods.
  3. Keep up with your HVAC filter replacement schedule, adjusting as needed based on factors like pets, allergies, or increased system usage.

By maintaining all the filters in your home, not just your HVAC filter, you can significantly improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment.

Health Conditions Triggered By Dirty Ducts

January 13, 2025/in Air Quality

We all know that polluted air and smoke are bad to breath, but we sometimes forget to think about the air quality in our home. Dirty air ducts can significantly contribute to allergy symptoms and respiratory issues. Allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other microscopic particles accumulate in ductwork over time. When the HVAC system operates, it circulates these irritants throughout the home, triggering allergic reactions. This is an interesting Article about 5 health conditions that are triggered by breathing polluted air from dirty ducts.

Buying Or Selling A Home With In-Slab Ducting?

January 2, 2025/in Damaged Ducting

Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but hidden issues like rusted in-slab ducts can turn dreams into costly nightmares. At Duct Armor, we frequently receive calls from homeowners after inspections reveal severe duct damage. This highlights the importance of home inspectors thoroughly checking sub-slab ductwork.

In-slab ducts are prone to rust, water intrusion, and mold, which can compromise air quality and HVAC efficiency. Unfortunately, many inspectors overlook these ducts as they are not always visible. A detailed inspection using tools like cameras can uncover hidden damage, saving buyers from unexpected repairs. Duct Armor’s non-invasive restoration process offers a reliable solution for rusted ducts.

In-Slab Duct Systems

December 26, 2024/in Types of Ducts

Homeowners with in-slab ductwork are particularly suited for Duct Armor services. This type of duct system can be prone to moisture problems, rust, and other age-related damage. Older homes, especially those built in the 1960s and 1970s, often face challenges with deteriorating ductwork.

The Duct Armor process rehabilitates these ducts without the need for invasive repairs like tearing up floors or removing drywall, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining air quality and system efficiency.

Eliminating Smoke Odors: A Professional Solution for Fire-Damaged Homes

Imagine renovating your home after a fire, with everything seemingly back to normal – except for that persistent, stubborn smoke smell lingering in your air ducts. This is a challenge many homeowners face after experiencing fire damage.

The Smoke Odor Challenge

Removing smoke residue from air ducts is notoriously difficult. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short, leaving behind an unpleasant reminder of the fire. Our recent consultation with an HVAC technician highlighted this exact issue during a home renovation project.

A Comprehensive Restoration Approach

Duct Armor offers a professional, effective solution to this common problem. Our specialized treatment does more than just mask odors – it provides a comprehensive restoration:

  1. Completely seals air ducts
  2. Encapsulates smoke odors
  3. Applies a protective new interior liner
  4. Restores HVAC system integrity

Why Professional Treatment Matters

This approach goes beyond simple cosmetic fixes. By thoroughly addressing smoke damage in your ductwork, we:

  • Eliminate lingering odors
  • Improve overall air quality
  • Protect your HVAC system’s long-term performance

Don’t let smoke damage compromise your home’s comfort and health. A targeted, professional solution can make all the difference in your post-fire restoration journey.

Fiberglass Duct Board

December 6, 2024/in Types of Ducts

Fiberglass Duct Board

Recently, we encountered a challenging HVAC situation in a home with a history of high humidity and persistent mold growth in fiberglass duct board. Traditional cleaning methods by Green Home Solutions could only address surface-level contamination, leaving embedded mold deep within the duct fibers.

The Persistent Mold Problem

Fiberglass duct board’s porous nature makes it particularly susceptible to mold infiltration. Once mold penetrates the material, complete removal becomes virtually impossible, posing significant indoor air quality risks.

Our Encapsulation Solution

We applied our specialized encapsulation product, Duct Armor to the main trunk lines, creating a protective barrier that:

  • Seals in existing mold
  • Prevents fiberglass particle release
  • Inhibits future mold growth
  • Improves overall air quality

Key Benefits

  • Cost-effective alternative to full duct replacement
  • Enhances HVAC system efficiency
  • Provides long-term protection against mold and contaminants
  • Ensures cleaner, healthier indoor air

Encapsulation offers homeowners a reliable solution to mold and fiberglass duct challenges, transforming a potential health hazard into a safe, efficient HVAC system

What Our Customers Are Saying

I use duct armor of Central Indiana to seal my under the floor ducts because there was water seeping through caused by the high water table in the area. They did everything efficiently and I felt for a fair price. Both Josh and Ben came out and when they left, the job was clean. I’m super pleased with the way everything was done! I will be definitely using them again in the future. I highly recommend their services.
