Circulating air around your home works in two ways: to suck out air and to blow it. Such is the cycle that results in a continuous circulation of air in your home. Let’s discuss this sucking and blowing of air a bit more.

Supply Vents Cleaning

As we know, ducts form an intricate system that either blows or suctions the air into the vents. Supply vents are the ones in charge of the former: it blows the air internally. It is in charge of the heating and cooling equipment in your home. So, to make sure that these processes run properly, we make sure that supply vents are spick and span.

Return Intakes Cleaning

On the other hand, return intakes cleaning is for return vents. This is the system that is in charge of sucking the air from every room in your house. What it then does is deliver the air to your heating and cooling system so they can do their job. Once the air has been either cooled or heated, the supply vent then blows out the air.

If the air is dirty, then the air conditioner and heater will spew out dirty air too. The opposite is true as well. If the air in the room is dirty, then dirty air gets sucked into the return vents too. It becomes a cycle of dirty air being recycled and circulated in your house. We can put a stop to this with our services. We’ll make sure that the air that goes inside the vents and blown out of it is clean and safe.
