Resolve Airflow Problems in Your Tacoma Home

Many homeowners are rightfully concerned about germs in their home. This is reasonable given the current COVID-19 pandemic. Worldwide virus aside, the home is riddled with bacteria that can lead to other and far more common ailments, such as the conventional flu and the common cold. Often, the spread of germs in the home is in large part due to airflow problems in the air ducts. An air duct cleaning is likely in order for your home. Learn to identify the signs of obstructed airflow.

1. Air Leaks

Residential air duct systems consist of multiple sleeves screwed together. The sections where they intersect aren’t always airtight, allowing air to escape at the joints. This can be solved by using a sealant or mastic specifically designed for air duct joints.

2. Dirty Fan Blower

Air conditioners and furnaces have a fan blower that allocates air throughout the ducts. Dust buildup on the blades inhibits the blower’s ability to distribute air. The fan blower should be cleaned with every air duct and HVAC inspection.

3. Dirty AC Evaporator Coil

The evaporator coil is located above the furnace in a central AC unit. The coil produces cold air by absorbing heat. The component, though, loses its ability to perform this function as it builds up dust over the years. Clean the coil and the fan blower annually to prevent excess dust accumulation.

4. Insufficient Return Air

Air ducts draw in air from return vents. An obstructed return vent results in less air for the ducts to blow out to the supply vents. A technician can determine if obstructed return vents are the culprit and whether they need a cleaning or repair.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
