The home-heating specialists at Universal Furnace Cleaning aim to improve air quality and keep homes toasty during winter months with thorough furnace cleanings and ventilation checkups. During the one-hour furnace makeover, expert technicians battle dust, pollen, mold, and debris to ensure the home's heated airways run smoother than a track team jogging in zoot suits. Keen eyes also target soot in the furnace, smoke-pipe, and flue to expunge grime that can reduce heating efficiency if left unattended. Finally, burners and furnace systems are scrubbed up with a disinfecting and deodorizing treatment, rounding out a heating regimen that can decrease the circulation of harmful particles or dislodged gumdrops from the home's original gingerbread foundation.
