Melcher’s Power Vac was founded in 1982 and serviced thousands of satisfied air duct & dryer vent cleaning and chimney sweeping customers. In 2019, Melcher’s Power Vac joined Schwickert’s Tecta America as Melcher’s Power Vac, a Schwickert’s Company. Since then, Schwickert’s has continued the legacy started by the Melcher family.
The cleanliness of your home’s ductwork, dryer vents, and chimney greatly influences its air quality and safety. Over time, dust, debris, allergens, and other contaminants can accumulate in these areas, reducing efficiency, increasing health risks, and creating potential fire hazards.
Air Duct Cleaning
Air ducts are the pathways through which heated and cooled air travels in your home. Over time, these ducts can collect dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other pollutants. When your HVAC system circulates air, these contaminants can spread throughout your home, affecting indoor air quality and potentially causing respiratory issues, especially those with allergies or asthma.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Clogged dryer vents are a severe fire hazard. Lint and debris build up in the vent over time, reducing airflow and causing the dryer to overheat. According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryer vent fires are a leading cause of house fires, which makes dryer vent cleaning an essential safety measure for your home.
Schwickert’s dryer vent cleaning services remove lint, dust, and other blockages, ensuring your dryer operates safely and efficiently. This reduces the risk of fire and helps your dryer perform better, cutting down on drying times and saving energy.
Chimney Sweep Services
If your home has a fireplace, keeping your chimney clean is essential for safety and efficiency. Over time, creosote (a highly flammable substance) builds up inside the chimney, posing a severe fire risk. Additionally, blockages from debris or even small animals can reduce airflow, causing smoke and dangerous carbon monoxide to back up into your home.
Ensure that your chimney is clean and free of obstructions by having them regularly inspected. Regular chimney cleaning helps prevent fires and ensures your fireplace functions properly, allowing you to enjoy a warm, cozy fire without worry.
