Phoenix, AZ Commercial Air Purifier Services by Magic Touch Mechanical There are a number of ways to improve the air that moves through your business. One of the most effective is an air purifier, which is installed into the HVAC system of a building and removes unwanted particles that pass through the ducts and into the working spaces. Air purifiers can target issues such as dust, dust mites, pollen, dander, furniture and carpet fibers, pesticides, smoke, and even bacteria and mold.

The Different Types of Commercial Air Purifiers There is a wide variety of air purification systems available for commercial installation, which is why you must rely on professionals to handle choosing the correct unit. No single type of air purifier can handle every problem that may affect a business’ air. The right air purifier model will target the specific contaminants that are circulating through a commercial HVAC system, and it takes trained technicians to determine this. Often, professionals will install more than one type of purifier to handle a wider range of air quality issues. There are two broad types of air purifiers: mechanical air filters and electronic air cleaners. Mechanical air filters, such as the HEPA air filter, use a mesh of fibers to trap particles that attempt to move through them. These filters are effective for many types of contamination, such as dust and dander, although they will not affect gas and odor molecules.

It is crucial that professionals select a filter that will still permit air to flow freely through the ventilation system; a filtration system that is too powerful can cause a severe drop in HVAC efficiency. Electronic air cleaners are an ideal way to stop the smaller particles that can slip through mechanical filters, such as gases. These purifiers ionize the air that moves through the HVAC system, and this adds an extra positive or negative charge onto the larger particles. These larger pollutants then move down toward two plates on the purifier where they are trapped. A properly installed electronic air cleaner can remove particles less than 0.1 micron in size. If your commercial building has issues with biological pollutants (bacteria, mold, viruses), then the ideal air purification system is a UV air purifier. These devices use ultraviolet light to eliminate biological contaminates safely, without putting any hazardous chemicals into the air. Call Us for Commercial Air Purifier Services in Phoenix, AZ

I learned that these offers could just be the first step for companies to get into your wallet. Alberta Knecht, 83, was sucked into such a costly situation. “He just kept going through the figures and everything and talking about it and next thing I know, it came to about $800-$900,” Knecht said. The air duct scam is as old as dirt. Shari Purves-Reiter of Washington Labor and Industries said companies often target seniors. “Con men know how to con people, and they look for marks, and unfortunately a lot of times that does include elderly people who might be a little more trusting,” Purves-Reiter said. The company that cleaned Knecht’s house was Pacific Home Services. The Better Business Bureau has given the business an “F” rating. PHS claims to be based in Renton, but the address is for an apartment complex, and managers there had never heard of the company. I called Pacific Home Services, but the person who answered wasn’t about to give Knecht a refund or answer any questions.

Purves-Reiter said there’s probably a reason for that. ”They have a phone number set up, and people call it and then they have people in the state they send out,” she said. “A lot of times they’re not registered. Many times they don’t have a business license.” To help Knecht, we reported Pacific Home Services to the Better Business Bureau and the attorney general’s office. But I wanted to take a closer look at how these businesses operate, so we went undercover to get answers. To do it right, we brought in Greenwood Heating and Air to professionally clean the home’s air duct system. Next, we set up two companies offering cheap deals for air duct cleanings. To see how thorough they are with their cleaning, we intentionally left one of the home’s cold air returns dirty, with a visible dust ball. The first company to stop by was American Fresh Air. For $49, the company promised an air duct cleaning, including an unlimited number of vents. A look at our video shows issues almost immediately.

The technician has a hard time with the furnace, spending several minutes staring and walking around it. Eventually, he flips the basement lights on and off and walks out. Meanwhile, a second technician is vacuuming the air ducts upstairs. To get a second opinion of the work performed by these companies, I asked Robi Lomont from nationally certified Alpine Cleaning to take a look at the hidden-camera video. His first concern is the guy vacuuming the vents. He has an extender on the vacuum hose, which could be problematic. “You ram that right through, it’ll break through the plastic and you’ll have a home repair bill versus a cleaning bill,” Lomont said. Our experts told me that a real air duct cleaning would require the technician to hook up near the furnace, not at the vent inside your front door. Also, all the vents in the home have to be sealed off. This creates a negative pressure or suction for the vacuum system. Unfortunately, American Fresh Air failed to block all the vents.

As for that dirty vent with the dust ball, the company never even checked it. The next company to stop by was Summit Clean Air. The first issue we noticed was that the company did not turn off the furnace while the vacuum was pulling air through the system. “You could burn out a fan motor. You could unbalance a fan motor where you are going to have an annoying sound for the rest of your life,” Lomont said.

Lomont said all this does is spread the dirt. “(It’s) pretty much taking it from point A and putting it on point B and making it look better here and dirtier there,” he said. Summit’s technician checked the cold air return that we left dirty, even going so far as to take a cellphone picture of the dust. But they never actually cleaned it. Lomont told me that these companies are definitely not providing $50 worth of work.
