1.00How much to have the ducts cleaned and mold removed?
Q.I just moved into a new home that had never had the ducts cleaned. The house is a ranch with gas forced air heat on one zone with about 9 vents. I found this company on a coupon for $45 which included unlimited vents and a couple access holes. When the company began their work they found mold and the price skyrocketed from $45 to $1400. Does this sound like a screw job or is that price accurate for mold removal and duct cleaning?
A.Mold removal/remediation is entirely different from air duct cleaning. However, it is not uncommon to find mold in your air ducts. That is why we recommend the Electro Breeze Duct Mount UV kit at http://www.allergy-relief-air-purifier.com/air-conditioning-filters.html. This unit will eliminate mold and bacteria from your indoor air and keep your air conditioning coils clean from mold.
You must consider that to remove the mold from your air ducts, the air duct cleaning company is entering into a potentially dangerous situation for their employees. This requires expensive equipment and a person with the skills to do the remediation properly. Now that they have knocked the mold loose, you will need the high efficiency filtration and ultra-violet light of the Electro Breeze DMUV kit to kill and capture the mold spores in your indoor air. I hope this helps.
1.00How do you clean the air ducts in a car?
Q.My car is getting older and I've noticed the air coming from the air conditioning ducts and air vents smells musty, dusty, and dirty. Is there a way I can clean the ducts and vents? Also, is this something I can get done at an auto detailer?
A.The answer to your 2nd question first. Maybe?! Some detailers will only clean/restore what they can reach, although there are some who might go the extra mile. The problem is, they don't want to be responsible for destroying your dash vents to get at the ducts.
When I worked in a body shop, we simply used compressed air through the vents to blow out the dust and dirt accumulated while the car sat inside being worked on.......some people even put pieces of air freshner directly in the vents to sweeten the smell afterwards.

1.00How can I fix my air conditioning?
Q.I have central air in my apartment and for the most part it works but lately it has not been cooling down the apartment. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thank you.
A.How old is the unit and when was the last time it had a freon charge? Unless it has leaks, the ac unit should be checked and recharged once a year. If everything is working, but it is not really putting out cold air, usually an indication of a recharge needed. To verify everything is working: Set the thermostat to Auto, Cool and about 75 degrees. If air is coming out of the vents, the air handler (inside unit) is working ok. Next, go to the outside unit and see if the fan is turning and the compressor is running. (fan by sight; compressor by sound). If okay, all components are working as they should and the unit probably needs a recharging.

1.00Which is the number one air conditioning company in the world?
Q.Samsung , LG or any other
A.There are large numbers of good air conditioner, available in the market. You can easily purchase the one you like most. If you are looking for the good quality brand then careers have achieved prime position in the international market. It is typical for air conditioners to operate at "efficiencies" of significantly greater than 100%.However it may be noted that the input (electrical) energy is of higher thermodynamic quality than the output which is basically thermal energy (heat dissipated).

Repair
An air conditioner is a sophisticated piece of machinery, and AC repairs of your unit should be trusted only to a professional. Unless you have above average AC repair skills, it's not recommended that you attempt any air conditioner troubleshooting on your own. One of the biggest causes of air conditioner problems is improper maintenance. Keeping your unit clean and free of debris is something every home owner can do. Simply remove the protective cover, and clean dust and dirt off the condenser fins. Hose down the fins if necessary, taking care to avoid splashing water on the motor and wiring. Accumulation of dust on the fins can reduce the cooling efficiency of your unit. Major AC repair problems like compressor failure, can also develop.
A unit that frequently needs AC repairs is the result of poor air conditioner maintenance. You can increase the efficiency of your unit and increase its life span by regularly cleaning the filters and replacing them. Filters that are blocked with dust and debris block the air flow, and drag down the efficiency of your air conditioner. Dust laden air may carry these particles into the evaporated coil, and affect its capacity to absorb heat. It's recommended that you get your air conditioner filters replaced, or cleaned at least once or twice during peak season. Pay more attention to your filter if your HVAC system sees heavy use or a dusty environment. If you notice water accumulation near the air conditioner, it might be the result of a leaky tube if you can locate a leak in the tube, get the tube replaced. If not, it may be a more complicated problem with the pump. Frequent central air conditioner repair problems can also occur if you have the wrong size unit. For instance, in an oversized unit, the AC may switch on and off frequently, wearing out the fan motors and compressor.
You can do minor air conditioner troubleshooting yourself, but the best solution for AC repair problems is to maintain your unit in perfect condition. When you are in need of air conditioner repairs, hire only a licensed and experienced AC repair technician who has experience conducting AC motor repair, AC compressor and heater repair, and other kinds of air conditioning services and repairs.
