Air Duct Cleaning in Tulsa
Many homeowners deal with allergies, dust, or other problems in their home without realizing that the indoor air quality can be improved. If too little outdoor air enters a home, pollutants such as dust, mold, bacteria, fungi, and other contaminates can accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort problems. Health concerns, such as allergies, asthma or the hazards of carbon monoxide can often be attributed to a poorly maintained, designed, or installed heating and air conditioning system. Air duct cleaning helps maintain the hygiene of your household.
Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning
Unclean ducts make the air unfit for breathing. Bad indoor air quality is one of the major causes of many respiratory problems like asthma and allergies. But did you know, you don’t always need a duct cleaning? Often times we can help eliminate the source of the duct problem.
The system cleans your air ducts by brushing and removing debris and dirt directly out of your HVAC system and into our HEPA filtration silencing box. We can then apply an anti-microbial protectant inside your duct work that kills most germs and microbes on contact for up to an entire year, greatly reducing or eliminating air-borne pathogens.

Air Assurance Can Provide Solutions
Our technicians are trained to use cutting-edge testing equipment to test your heating and air conditioning system. Don’t just take our word for it. We can show you the results before and after!
- Conduct an Infiltrometer Test
An infiltrometer test identifies air and energy leaks in your home that can lead to poor indoor air quality. After a thorough evaluation, our technicians will work with you to provide the best solution possible to make your home safe, comfortable, and energy efficient. - Use BBJ Microbiocide
This is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that kills and inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, fungi and bacteria for up to six months on the HVAC system indoor air handler coil. In addition to controlling air pollutants, BBJ eliminates the “biofilm” on cooling coils that interfere with heat transfer and reduces system efficiency. It has not been found to cause any chemical sensitivities or reactions, and it also has a rust and corrosion-inhibiting action that may extend the life of your system.
How can poor indoor air quality affect comfort and respiratory irritation?
Poor indoor air quality can contribute to irritation from airborne particles, pollutants, or excess humidity, particularly for people who are sensitive to those conditions. HVAC filtration, ventilation, humidity control, source control, and appropriate air-cleaning equipment can all be part of an indoor-air-quality strategy.
What causes poor indoor air quality in a home?
Poor indoor air quality can result from dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, cleaning products, excess humidity, insufficient ventilation, contaminants entering through leaks, and particles circulating through the HVAC system. The right solution depends on identifying the source rather than assuming every air-quality issue requires the same treatment.
Is air duct cleaning always necessary to improve indoor air quality?
No. Air-duct cleaning can be appropriate when ducts contain significant debris or contamination, but indoor-air-quality problems can also involve filtration, humidity, ventilation, building air leaks, or pollutant sources inside the home. The cause should be evaluated before deciding which service is appropriate.
What other indoor air quality solutions can work with my HVAC system?
Depending on the home and the problem being addressed, HVAC indoor-air-quality options can include upgraded filtration, whole-home air cleaners, humidity control, ventilation, and other compatible treatment equipment. The appropriate solution should be selected based on the actual air-quality concern and the specifications of the equipment.
