Breathe Free Duct Cleaning—Taking Care of Your Business!

By Melissa McCance

 

Indoor air quality is important to overall health. Hours of breathing air that carries particles of mold, mildew, fungus, and other contaminants isn’t good for anyone, whether at home or at work. Breathe Free Duct Cleaning has been improving air quality in homes for a while, but they are also getting busier and busier cleaning ductwork in a variety of businesses.

 

“Think Breathe Free for your business,” says Ryan Griffiths, owner of the duct cleaning service. “Cold and flu season is coming and having cleaner air in your workplace can really help keep your employees and customers healthier.”

 

To date, Breathe Free has provided duct cleaning for offices, manufacturing facilities, restaurants, correctional facilities, the Domestic Harmony residence, and the Eaton Proving Grounds. The company’s services aren’t limited to cleaning ductwork. The team can also remove debris and contaminants from dust collection units, welding booths, commercial dryer vents, and paint booths.

 

One additional service under consideration is grease hood cleaning which must be performed by a certified company. Ryan says they already have a commitment from a restaurant to use Breathe Free for that service if he decides to add it.

 

The company has recently added some new technology to keep indoor air quality at a better level. The REME-HALO®Zero unit is installed into existing air conditioning or heating system air ducts and recreates nature’s process of purifying air. These units reduce bacteria, viruses, odors, and mold spores as well as allergens and dust. Unlike an earlier version of the REME-HALO®, the new units emit zero ozone.

 

Besides the new technology, Ryan has brought in Tyler Todd to join the original service team members Mike Reed and Andy Russell. There are now two trucks as well, increasing the number of customers they can help. Another equipment addition is a portable unit that the technicians can use to reach areas inaccessible by the trucks. This allows for a truly thorough cleaning job.

 

The trucks feature a powerful system that will pull up to 12,000 cubic feet of air per minute. Registers and returns are masked off and compressed air is introduced into the ductwork while special cleaning equipment loosens and the debris from the duct walls. Suction then draws out everything and removes it from the building.

 

Breathe Free has teamed up with a number of area HVAC companies that don’t offer duct cleaning themselves but will refer inquiries when people call to ask about having it done. Restoration companies like ServPro are utilizing Breathe Free to clean the ductwork after events like housefires to put the finishing touch on bringing a property back from a disaster.

 

Another essential member of the Breathe Free team is Ryan’s wife Jenilee who works as the business manager. You’ll find her in the Breathe Free office at 1252 E. Chicago Road in Jonesville. Jenilee takes care of payroll, invoicing, oversees supply orders to ensure the technicians have what they need when they need it, greets and assists walk-ins, and does warranty registration.

 

“Warranty registration is important and it’s something we do on everything for everyone,” said Jenilee. “Some people make the mistake of thinking the warranty is automatic, but you have to register the product in order to use the warranty. So, we just take care of that for the customer.”

 

Breathe Free Duct Cleaning has a number of ways to make using their services easier for their customers. They have financing plans available, including one that offers 0% interest for 18 months. A recent change is that they now have military discounts. And, all major credit cards are accepted.
