Services
HVAC Cleaning
Our HVAC cleaning service removes contaminants from ductwork, air handlers, and coils to improve indoor air quality and system efficiency. Using HEPA-filtered vacuums and robotic imaging technology, we ensure thorough cleaning while maintaining system integrity. This service reduces energy consumption and extends equipment lifespan through precise static pressure management.
Kitchen Exhaust Maintenance
We provide comprehensive kitchen exhaust system maintenance including hood cleaning, fan hinge installation, and pollution control unit servicing. Our NFPA 96-compliant process prevents fire hazards by removing grease buildup from appliances to rooftop exhausts. Certified technicians use pre-engineered access panels for complete system accessibility.
Fire Damper Testing
Our fire damper testing service verifies critical life safety systems using smartphone mapping technology and cloud-based documentation. We perform operational tests per NFPA 80/105 standards, providing Joint Commission-compliant reports with repair recommendations for inoperable units.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation service addresses contamination in ventilation systems through containment protocols and alternate insulation solutions. Combining fiber optic inspection with industrial hygiene practices, we eliminate mold while addressing moisture sources to prevent recurrence in healthcare and commercial environments.
Robotic Imaging Surveys
Using advanced robotic cameras, we conduct detailed ductwork assessments to identify contamination sources and verify cleaning effectiveness. This technology enables precise hygiene surveys and condition documentation without system disassembly, supporting data-driven maintenance decisions.
Questions
Why should I clean my kitchen exhaust system?
Regular cleaning removes combustible grease buildup that poses fire hazards while maintaining system efficiency and compliance with NFPA 96 standards.
How often should kitchen exhaust systems be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage but typically every 3 months for high-volume operations, following NFPA 96 guidelines.
Why use robotic imaging for HVAC systems?
Robotic imaging provides accurate internal assessments to identify contamination sources and verify complete cleaning without system disassembly.
What causes reduced HVAC airflow?
Common causes include dirty coils, damaged fan belts, or inadequate make-up air systems requiring professional diagnosis.
Why test fire dampers?
NFPA-mandated testing ensures life safety systems function properly during emergencies, with hospitals requiring tests every 6 years.
How does coil cleaning save energy?
Clean coils reduce static pressure, improving heat transfer efficiency and lowering energy consumption by up to 20%.
