Duct Blasting:
Are your power bills too high? Foster’s now offers a new service – duct blasting. This is a process that measures leakage in the ducts. A duct blaster combines a small fan and a pressure gauge to pressurize a building’s duct system and accurately measure air leakage of the ductwork. Duct leakage can increase heating and cooling costs over 30% and contribute to comfort, health and safety problems. Call us (228) 497-2285 to schedule an appointment today!

Duct Cleaning:
Why should you get your ducts cleaned? In addition to normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes through regular use, there are several other factors that can increase the need for air duct cleaning:
- Pets
- Occupants with allergies or asthma
- Cigarettes or Cigar smoke
- Water contamination or damage to the home/ HVAC System.
- Home renovation or remodeling projects
Some occupants are more sensitive to these contaminants than others. Allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as young children and the elderly tend to be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning and help to address.
Proper Cleaning:
- Proper HVAC cleaning Process: There are two key components to HVAC cleaning: breaking contaminants loose, and collection of contaminants.
- Breaking contaminants loose: properly cleaning HVAC systems requires removing the source of contamination. Source removal begins with use of one or more agitation devices designed to loosen contaminants from the surfaces within the heating and air conditioning systems. Examples of agitation devices include brushes, air whips, and compressed air nozzles or “skipper balls”. Agitation can also be achieved through hand-brushing or contact vacuuming.
- Collection of Contaminants: During cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative pressure (vacuum) to prevent the spread of contaminants. Continuous negative pressure allow very fine particles to be removed from the system as they become airborne, ensuring that these particles are not released into the living space when the system is turned on after cleaning.
- This negative pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and removed from your home.
