Ensuring Safety at Home During Furnace and Duct Cleaning

Maintaining a clean and efficient furnace is essential for a comfortable home, especially during the cold winter months. Professional furnace technicians are the go-to experts for this job. It’s natural to be curious about the process, but it’s crucial for homeowners to understand the importance of safety when technicians are cleaning the furnace and ducts. Let’s explore some safety tips to keep in mind to ensure both your well-being and the efficiency of the cleaning process

  1. Give Technicians Space:
    Furnace cleaning is a noisy and sometimes chaotic task, with technicians using various tools and equipment. It’s essential to give them plenty of room to work. Avoid following them around too closely, as this can create hazards. Technicians might not always be aware of your presence, and accidents can happen if they bump into you or their equipment.
  2. Watch Out for Air Hoses:
    One common piece of equipment used during furnace cleaning is the air hose. These hoses are powerful and can cause injury if they accidentally hit you. Keep a safe distance and be mindful of where the hose is at all times. It’s best to stay out of the technician’s way and let them do their job without distractions.
  3. Beware of the Vacuum Hose:
    Another vital tool for cleaning furnace ducts is the vacuum hose. This vacuum has excellent suction (trust us!), designed to remove dust, debris, and contaminants from your ducts. It’s crucial to avoid placing any objects in its path, as they can be sucked into the vacuum. Additionally, make sure not to trip over the hose, which could lead to accidents or damage the equipment.
  4. Communicate When Necessary:
    While it’s best to stay out of the technicians’ way, there may be situations where you need to communicate with them. If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask. Just ensure that you do so at a safe distance and when the technician is not actively working with machinery or tools.
  5. Keep Children and Pets Away:
    If you have children or pets in your home, it’s important to keep them safely away from the cleaning area. The noise and activity can be unsettling to them, and their presence can pose safety risks. Designate a safe and quiet area for them to stay during the cleaning process.

What Our Customers Have To Say

We had Edison and Roberto out to our home to clean our furnace vents and dryer. They were extremely polite, professional, thorough and efficient! They explained the entire process before they got started and even as they were working. I really appreciated the care they took to wear boot covers, lay down mats, and seal the front door. I couldn't have asked for a better customer experience! Alberta Furnace also offers competitive pricing and I was really pleased with the communication provided before and after our service. All around, a great experience with wonderful people every step of the way! Oh yeah, and clean vents too 😉

- Aimee Canepa

This company knows their stuff, provides great customer service and excellent work. I’m totally happy with how the two very friendly and knowledgeable associates cleaned my furnace, vents, dryer vent and AC coil. I will certainly book my next appointment with them.

Fantastic TEAM of office admin & cleaning professionals! Excellent service from the moment the estimate was confirmed, the appointment time was arranged and the reminder texts were sent prior to their arrival. The service teams were punctual, polite and SUPER professional! Protective floor mats were placed, shoe guards were used and the Furnace & carpets were thoroughly cleaned and completed in a timely manner. Thank you again for the excellent service :-)

- Alixe Regan

Glad we got Alberta Furnace. The price was reasonable for a thorough job. Tic & Roberto did an amazing job today! They worked hard even pointing out things on the furnace to look out for. They were kind and polite and when we get our furnace cleaned again, I would certainly hope for these 2 gentlemen.

- Sandra Crabtree

The guys called to inform us that they will arrive early which was great. They were friendly, respectful, professional, explained what they were about to do, clean, placed protectors on the floor and around furnitures. Overall we are 100% satisfied with their service.

- Rosalia Giralao

The technicians were efficient and very friendly. They explained what they how and what they were doing. The only thing was there was some sort of residue left on the concrete from their truck all the way to our front door that was not there before they arrived. (Dark stains on our driveway, walkway and front steps leading into the house).
