Clean Air in Buildings Challenge - Mintie Services

In March, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the Clean Air in Buildings Challenge to highlight recommendations and resources that can help improve ventilation and indoor air quality. It is their call to action with guiding principles and actions to help building owners and operators reduce the risk of contracting viruses from airborne contaminants indoors. Their key actions consist of creating a clean indoor air plan, optimizing fresh air ventilation, and enhancing air filtration and cleaning.

From fresh air ventilation to enhanced filtration and cleaning, it all starts with a plan. Starting by creating a clean indoor air plan can help outline everything that needs to be done to improve the indoor air quality of all buildings. Optimizing fresh air ventilation by opening windows and doors (when the air pollution outside is not hindering) and utilizing the fresh air settings on HVAC systems can already do wonders for any indoor environment that is feeling stuffy. Assessing air systems and determining if they need to be cleaned or rehabilitated is the next step.

Mintie, LLC offers services that can help reach cleaner air in buildings. Routine air system cleaning or rehabilitation (when needed) can take buildings even closer to accomplishing the Clean Air in Buildings Challenge.

Commercial HVAC Distribution Systems & Air Duct Cleaning

HVAC distribution systems and air ducts should be cleaned if there is mold growth, vermin infestations, or clogging. A light amount of dust, dirt, and other particulate matter may not affect the environment, but if any of the listed conditions are present, it could pose a potential health risk to the environment. The NADCA-certified Mintie team takes HVAC distribution systems and air duct cleaning seriously.

The Mintie process:

• Inspect and assess
• Collect debris
• Utilize HEPA filtered vacuums to extract dust borne particles that can be blown into occupied spaces
• Clean and replace air filters
• Restoration – Removal and/or repair of existing internal insulation, and replacement with new HP or covering with Astro-shield insulated liner

Giving your HVAC distribution system and air ducts a good cleaning can help improve indoor air quality, provide a healthier environment, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of the equipment.

Commercial Air Handler Cleaning & Rehabilitation

Air handlers are the lungs of buildings. Paired with heating and cooling, they manage the airflow to keep the environment comfortable. Like HVAC distribution systems and air ducts, air handlers should also be assessed and cleaned routinely. Mintie also offers air handler rehabilitation to keep your air handler working efficiently and help extend the overall life of the equipment.
