Haha! Happy Saturday, everybody!!

We're called in on a very regular basis to reclean systems that were supposedly "cleaned recently" by multi-service contractors with small inadequate equiptment, limited expierence and likely little to no insurance. In 2020 despite suspending residential services from Mid March through the latter part of June due to Covid-19; we performed 47 of these recleanings within 1 week to 1 year of service by an Amature "provider". 47!! Given that we only had about 40 viable work ...weeks in 2020 that's an average of 1.18 recleanings per week! While these Amature types may be excellent in home rennovations, landscaping, carpet cleaning ect., they are NOT experts in air quality. The just don't have the knowledge or proper type & sized equiptment to do the job right and they ALWAYS leave a terrible mess behind. You want a registered, fully insured, workmans comp compliant, Nova Scotian family business with many years of focused discipline in the industry; a Professional Company just like Vac-A-Vent. Remember the old Red Adair saying; "If you think it's expensive to hire a Professional to get the job done, wait untill you hire an Amature". We dont provide estimates, we provide IRON CLAD QUOTES. We assure you that our rates are shapely competitive as compared to another Professional service provider in our Nova Scotia market. Cheers, everybody!! ~Team Vac-A-Vent~ See more

One easy test for a homeowner to perform in order to help determination the answer is to pop open a cold air return register and capture a picture or video down inside with a smart phone.

Washing your dryer lint filter every so often is well worth the effort. I credit the following to Kathy Kehoe. Cheers!! ~Team Vac-A-Vent~ ----------------------------- INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS (I do this all the time) The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after... every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material. I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh and that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free. That nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box...well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very longtime (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new every day! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share! Note: I went to my dryer and tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water and a nylon brush and I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it, the water ran right thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about! See more

In all my travels providing service across this great Province this is one of my very most favorite areas to visit. Can anybody tell where we were Tuesday by this photo of this very famous place? No doubt it'll take a Nova Scotian to figure it out...maybe!! I'll add a couple more photo clues later. Cheers!

Debris removed from a Mini-Split Ductless Heat Pump after 12 months of operation in a busy commercial facility. ~Make Every Breath Worth Breathing!~

One year since we performed the last deep cleaning on these Mini-Split ductless Heat Pumps. The amount of dust and debris that can accumulate in an average home over 12 months time is absolutely astounding! If your system(s) operate most every day of the year as these do, an annual cleaning is highly recommended. Ensure your system(s) are operating "Tip Top" and enjoy $maximum efficiency$.
