Committee

The UCIAQ Committee recommends hiring a certified and trained contractor to perform HVAC system cleaning. Contractors should use accepted industry standards such as those outlined by the Association of Specialists in Cleaning and Restoration (ASCR), the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), and the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA). Although in-house facilities or custodial services may perform limited HVAC system cleaning activities (ie. removal of particulate debris from diffusers, cleaning and repairing small localized duct damage), specialized expertise, skill and experience is required to properly clean and restore an entire HVAC system to optimal performance.

Indoor Air Quality Services

As your HVAC system draws in more air, it also draws in contaminants. These contaminants tend to collect on smoke and fire dampers inside the ductwork. This can create a safety issue. As the debris worsens, the damper could stop operating. This would cause the ductwork to convey the smoke and/or fire to other occupied areas of the building. Therefore, it is imperative that the dampers be cleaned and serviced regularly with professional HVAC duct cleaning and HVAC vent cleaning.

Air duct systems could easily convey fire and/or smoke throughout your structure if the damper systems are not functioning properly. Due to budget crunches and other circumstances, it is not always possible for your maintenance staff to attend to the inspection and service of the damper systems.

This can pose several potential problems:

This can pose several potential problems:
1. EPA studies show that a buildup of just .42" on the coil surface can reduce the efficiency of
that system by at least 21%. That means that over time, you are increasing heating and
cooling costs, while reducing the amount of heating and cooling you are actually creating.
2. Increased particulates inside the ductwork increase the amount of vacuuming and dusting
that are needed in your facility. Have you ever come in after your area was dusted and still
see a fine layer of dust? That happens when the ductwork acts as a "dust distribution
device."
3. Increased particulates inside the ductwork also mean increased allergens. Have you heard
of "Building Related Illness", and "Sick Building Syndrome"? These medical conditions are
greatly contributed to by having ductwork that has not been cleaned in years, sometimes
never cleaned.
Cleaning the ductwork in your facility is just plain good sense! It saves time and money in the long
run by increasing system efficiency and reducing the amount of custodial work that must be done.
It also increases the quality of air, contributing to a healthier working environment.
At Lamunyon Cleaning and Restoration, we look forward to assisting you in improving your indoor
air quality, increasing your efficiency, and ultimately helping the "lungs" of your building last a lot
longer!

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
How many times have you thought "I need to step outside to get a breath of fresh air?"
Unfortunately, according to the EPA, that is almost exactly what you would need to do. Even with
high levels of allergens, pollutants and debris in the air outside, it is still 70% cleaner than the air
we filter and circulate in our buildings!
We have our facilities vacuumed and dusted at least once a week and yet may not address the
"lungs" of our buildings for years, even decades. The HVAC or air conditioning system carries the air
that we breathe from its central unit throughout ductwork into our workspaces. This air is
saturated with contaminants that build up in our buildings over time. Hair, skin cells, ink, paper,
dirt, bugs, bacteria, and mold are commonly found inside even relatively clean ductwork. However,
as the filters in the system get loaded, many particles start bypassing the filtration, and over time
can accumulate on surfaces of the air handling units themselves, as well as the ductwork
throughout the building

While we may

While we may spend time and money on vacuums, dusters, even air cleaners for individual rooms,
one of the best ways we can immediately improve the indoor air quality in our homes is with air
duct cleaning and restoration. When making the decision to clean the air ducts in your home, it is
important to keep several factors in mind. One, does the company cleaning your air ducts conform
to accepted standards of cleaning? Namely, do they clean in accordance with NADCA Standard ASC-
2006? That standard states that in order to clean ductwork, the system must be placed under
negative air pressure and then physically agitated with cables and brushes and/or compressed air.
Some duct cleaning systems do not allow for this to take place. Some are not much more than a
glorified shop vacuum.

At Lamunyon

At Lamunyon Cleaning and Restoration, we use a truck mounted vacuum collection system that
provides over 10,000 CFM of suction! We will remove the debris and contaminants from your air
ducts, and ensure that it leaves your home for good.
Another factor to consider is what does the price reflect? At Lamunyon Cleaning and Restoration,
the price we quote reflects the total job price. We include cleaning all supply and return ductwork,
registers, and the actual air handling unit itself. In other words, wherever the air goes, we clean! We
also clean your dryer vent at no additional cost to you. This removes compacted dryer lint from the
system that could potentially be a fire hazard. It also increases the efficiency of your dryer.
If you would like to know more about having your residential air ducts professionally cleaned,
please give us a call or request more information.

Residential Air Duct Cleaning

Residential Air Duct Cleaning
What a wonderful thing air conditioning is! We can have cool air in the summer and warm air in the
winter, and always feel comfortable in our home. All thanks to the HVAC system and its ductwork.
But, because of this modern convenience, it is less common for us to open all the windows and "air
out" the house. The EPA states that the air indoors can be 70% more polluted than the air outside.
Yet we spend up to 90% of our time indoors. That means that we are constantly polluting our lungs
by breathing in contaminants from the air in our homes.

The Big Foot Systems

The Big Foot Systems versatile range offers an array of solutions to support a variety of air handling units and ventilation systems. Many larger air-handling units are made up of several sectional components that can be individually crane lifted directly onto rooftops. Frame kits for most major manufacturer’s VRV/ VRF units are available from stock.
With the main plant positioned upon the roof, there is generally a need to install the associated auxiliary services. M&E containment such as ductwork, pipe and cable tray can be supported from a number of auxiliary support product

The make-up air supply

The make-up air supply. Outside air is delivered around the house, with one supply point in each bedroom and at least one in the living area. The suction created by the exhaust fan pulls air through the house from supply points to the pick-up points. By properly locating the pick-up and supply points, outside air will travel throughout the entire house.

Our HVC Series

Our HVC Series DD Double Deflection Grilles are recommended for supply in a huge variety of  applications.
The two rows of blades are set at 90 degrees to each other, with one row set just behind the front most row. Gaps between the blades are sufficient to allow easy adjustment of blades, enabling custom blow patterns to be created. Whether these be targeted towards one area or fanned out to affect a wide area

A consistently

A consistently popular product, ceiling diffusers are effective supply units suited perfectly to modular ceiling systems.
Normally used in commercial installations requiring an air change rate up to about 10 times per hour. Our louvre faced ceiling diffusers are especially suitable where people are working for long periods of time, and draughts need to be avoided.
Ceiling diffusers are designed to integrate into lay in T bar ceilings as standard. However should you require it, we can fit your CD into burgess tiles or other tile system

he standard Egg

he standard Egg Crate extract grille has now been joined by the Egg Crate 45 degree grille, giving the same performance .
Egg Crate Core is made from thin aluminium strips arranged into a lattice. The square holes in the core are sized 12.5mm x 12.5mm, resulting in a free area of over 90%. This core is held within a one of two available frames. Designed to integrate with the wider range of grille frames, you can be sure of design consistency whatever grille you buy from us.

Principally

Principally designed for our natural ventilation range, our plastic volume control dampers have a shut off level far surpassing that of regular volume control dampers and even some shut off dampers.
Independent tests show no leakage below 10Pa; the pressure most likely to be found in natural ventilation installations.
With even 10Pa rarely being exceeded in natural ventilation situations, it is clear how uPVC volume control dampers can enhance the efficiency of your new natural ventilation system.

Volume Control Dampers

Our Volume Control Dampers have numerous features designed to give maximum performance. We use an aerofoil blade, shaped to provide exceptionally low resistance to air travelling over it.
The standard out of airstream linkage is also fitted, protecting the precise gears from dust and moisture. This linkage system uses nylon gears and wearing parts, coming together to produce a damper with exceptionally low operating torque. Not only does this make it easier for you to adjust your damper manually, but, if motorised, it means dramatically reduced loading on actuators and therefore an extended working life

The ventilation system

The ventilation system ductwork is manufactured and installed to incorporate cleaning and maintenance access doors to fully comply with DW /144 ductwork standards.
Ductwork selection can vary dependant on our clients’ criteria; the options include for spirally wound, galvanised with or without the required for mezz flanges or even 1mm thick stainless steel. All ductwork can be powder coated internally and externally to any colour within the BS or RAL colour rang

A ventilation system

A ventilation system will maintain overall indoor-air quality. A basic ventilation system expels stale air (containing water vapour, carbon dioxide, airborne chemicals and other pollutants), draws in outside air (containing fewer pollutants and less water vapour), and distributes outside air throughout the house.
There are two elements in a basic ventilation system:
A fan to extract stale air. Pick-up points for stale air are generally in high moisture areas, such as the kitchen, utility and bathrooms.

Installing ventilation

Installing ventilation will get rid of excess moisture.
Kitchen, bathroom and basement exhaust fans are a good beginning for those specific trouble spots, providing spot ventilation to expel moisture and odours from limited areas. With spot ventilation, you can manually flip a switch and solve the problem.

Altering splits

Altering splits, sodden sealing or enhancing seepage will help right dampness issues. In the event that water is spilling in from outside, its amazingly paramount that it is remedied.

So as to accomplish successful ventilation inside a room, the openings through which air retreats the house ought to be bigger than those where it enters. Ventilation openings ought to be in overabundance of 10 for every penny of the carpet region of each one room.

The sum, style

The sum, style, and size of windows are basic, while the situation of most windows relies on upon development of air because of outside weight contrasts.

In particular

In particular, viable ventilation guarantees you and your family are existing inside a the earth. Lessening the measure of dust in your home will help everybody inhale less demanding, while molds are presumably the most widely recognized wellspring of indoor air contamination, creating anaphylaxes, cerebral pains, and respiratory issues.

stains in your lavatory,

Are there stains in your lavatory, discolouration around window scarves and layers of dust on the highest point of shelves and closets? A general absence of ventilation can result in a development of dampness and stale air, inescapably prompting shape, dust and awful smells. Forestalling indoor air quality issues can be moderate and simple, and you'd be shocked the amount less demanding it will make cleaning your home.

DRYER FIRE PREVENTION IN YOUR HOME

DRYER FIRE PREVENTION IN YOUR HOME

In addition to air duct cleaning, our certified technicians also clean dryer vents. having your dryer vents professionally cleaned regularly not only saves you money in energy efficiency, it can help prevent a dryer fire in your home.

Watch for the following signs that an air duct cleaning is overdue:

• Dirty supply and return vent covers.
• Dark filtration lines on the walls, ceiling or carpet that surround the vents.
• Excessive dust in the home.
• Variance in temperature or air flow throughout the house.
• An increase in the energy needed to operate the HVAC system at desired settings. This may indicate that dirt and debris are blocking coils and/or ductwork, restricting flow and spiking utility bills.
• New furnace or ductwork.
• A recent remodel/construction project.
• Water damage or flooding that occurred in the ductwork, which could cause sediment build-up in the system.

LET’S CLEAR THE AIR

LET’S CLEAR THE AIR

According to the national Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), the average six-room house collects 40 pounds of dirt, dust and allergens in its air ducts each year. That’s a big problem, considering that 40,000 dust mites can thrive in only one ounce of dust. Those little dust “bunnies” contain a host of unhealthy bacteria, fungi and mold. The EPA estimates indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Even worse, the contaminated air circulates throughout your house every time the heating or cooling system kicks on.

Advanced 3-Stage Filtration Technology

Advanced 3-Stage Filtration Technology - TrueCLEAN uses an unique three-step process that cleans the air in your home like never before. The Charge-Capture-Destroy process not only captures more particles than traditional media filters, but also deactivates up to 99% of those particles - keeping your home and family safe

Replace Less Often - Lasts up to four times longer than a standard one-inch furnace filter. Replace every 6-12 months

Brief History of the Clean Air Act

Brief History of the Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act is a federal law covering the entire country. However, states, tribes and local governments do a lot of the work to meet the Act's requirements. For example, representatives from these agencies work with companies to reduce air pollution. They also review and approve permit applications for industries or chemical processes

Brief History of the Clean Air Act

Brief History of the Clean Air Act

In October 1948, a thick cloud of air pollution formed above the industrial town of Donora, Pennsylvania. The cloud which lingered for five days, killed 20 people and caused sickness in 6,000 of the town's 14,000 people. In 1952, over 3,000 people died in what became known as London's "Killer Fog." The smog was so thick that buses could not run without guides walking ahead of them carrying lanterns.

Events like these alerted us to the dangers that air pollution poses to public health. Several federal and state laws were passed, including the original Clean Air Act of 1963, which established funding for the study and the cleanup of air pollution. But there was no comprehensive federal response to address air pollution until Congress passed a much stronger Clean Air Act in 1970. That same year Congress created the EPA and gave it the primary role in carrying out the law. Since 1970, EPA has been responsible for a variety of Clean Air Act programs to reduce air pollution nationwide.

The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act requirements are comprehensive and cover many different pollution sources and a variety of clean-up methods to reduce common air pollutants. Many of the clean-up requirements for particle pollution and ground-level ozone involve large industrial sources (power plants, chemical producers, and petroleum refineries), as well as motor vehicles (cars, trucks, and buses). Also, in nonattainment areas, controls are generally required for smaller pollution sources, such as gasoline stations and paint shops.

Axial Flow Fan

Axial Flow Fan

The svs manufacure fan covering a wide range of air quantities and preesure from 1000 CMH to 100000 CMH up to 5mm to55m static pressure.The cost alloy aluminium /PVC impeller are statically and dynamically balanced the are available for wall mounted & duct mountaded application.

Axial flow fans are designed to force the air to flow parallel to the blades in the shaft. These fans are used for various purposes such as small cooling fans to giant fans in wind tunnels; primarily used for air conditioning and industrial process applications. This type of fans are most commonly used as ceiling fan, in automobiles for engine cooling, in computers as cooling fan preventing the machine to overheat or as a variable pitch fan where control of air pressure within the duct is required.

We at Space Ventilation Systems manufacture a wide range of axial flow fans with various air quantities and pressure ranging from 1000 CHM to 100000 CHM having 5mm to 55mm static pressure. The impellers used in these fans are made of cast alloy aluminum/ PVC which are statically and dynamically balanced. Our range of axial fans is mostly available for wall mounted and duct mounted applications. These fans are designed to maintain excellent balance between air quantity, pressure and power consumption. Axial flow fans are highly useful for the purposes such as general ventilation, fume extraction and air conditioning or other special industrial applications. Our axial fans are designed to reduce your operating costs to the minimum. We provide the most economical and efficient axial flow fans to various customers across different industries such as fertilizers, thermal power stations, textile, pharmaceuticals etc.

IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Your wallet takes a hit as well. The build-up of dirt and debris prevents the air from flowing freely throughout the ventilation system. That means it works harder and costs more to operate. Over time, the problem only gets worse. Clear the air in your home with air duct cleaning and air vent cleaning services from the NADCA certified professionals at Stanley Steemer.

It’s also important to realize that many companies limit ventilation system cleaning to the air ducts. Not Stanley Steemer. We clean your entire ventilation system, including the HVAC unit, blower, evaporator coil and accessible components, as well as the individual air ducts, from the vent covers to the main trunk line. We also remove the vent covers, clean them, and then put them back in place. From duct cleaning to vent cleaning, we clean every part of your ventilation system.
