The negative air method is the best method of air duct cleaning. This means a separate vacuum is used to create negative air pressure throughout the entire duct system. In other words all the vents should be sucking air back to the negative air vacuum. The hose that is creating this situation is at least 8 inches or better 12 inches in diameter. If the vacuum hose fits in the register then they are not using negative air. Now once the vacuum is running the tech will choose the best tools to dislodge the dirt from the duct-work and push it back to the vacuum. Now with negative air there are 2 types of system - Portable and truck mount. Success can be achieved with either if done correctly. I prefer portable for the following reason. Portable equipment returns clean air back into the home so the home does not need to replenish the air from another source. With truck mount equipment any air removed from the structure will be replaced naturally. This is done because as air is pulled out fresh air is sucked in through any cracks crevices open windows etc. With a truck mount outside air is pulled into the home through voids in the structure bringing any contaminants in those voids along for the ride. I also like portable equipment because temperature in the home remains stable. With truck mount equipment since outside air is pulled in, the home quickly becomes the same temp and humidity as outside then it cost the homeowner money to heat or cool it back normal when the job is finished.

Have you tried www.jondon.com they have a ton of products that remidiation companies use
this is one of those situation where a little knowlege could be very dangerous so be careful. First you need to determine why you have mold. It is usually due to excess moisture. In some cases even if the mold spores are dead they can still make you sick. So aside from detirmining and correcting the condition that caused the mod to grow you need to effectively remove the existing mold. I am not stupid enough to take the liability of directing you how to do that on this board but I suggest a few things. Look on websites like Jon Don where the pros buy their remediation chemicals and "personal Protection equipment" *** a paper respirator from home depot will not keep mold our of your lungs. You will find a wealth of info and can easily contact the manufacturers for advice. Also dont mess with it until you know exactly what to do. right now its stationary you dont want it to get airbourne and get into the babys living quarters. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss further. good luck.
First I would look to see if the contactor that energizes the outside fan is the same contactor that energizes the compressor. If so then you know the contactor wrks becasue the fan is kicking on. lets assum it is. next make sure that you have power on the 3 lines leaving the contactor going to the compressor. Assuming you have power you now need to check the capacitor. Since a capacitor will hold an electrical charge strong enough to hurt you even after all power has been removed I dont suggest you doing this with our the gudance of a professional and not knowing yoru skill level with electricity it is not something I would try to explain here. Now lets assume the compressor is on its own contactor and that is not pulling in. Then the problem is in the low voltage wiring. Either it is not getting 24 volts back from the thermostat or a safety is interupting the voltage to protect the compressor. Such as a low pressure safety that would open if there were not enough freone in the system. or a high pressure safety with a manual reset button that may have tripped and is still tripped. Feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions. Its 5 degrees here in NE PA tonight, oh how I wish i needed air conditioning.
My son has been in martial arts since he is about 6 years old and is 18 now. I believe his overall health is better because of it in many ways. He is never sick and when he is he gets better in a day when other kids take a week. The key is finding a teacher that is not just teaching self defense but a philosophy that your parents agree with. Even though my son is a blackbelt he would be the first to tell you to walk away from a fight if you can, even if it means taking a little verbal abuse. Also there are many forms of martial arts. Thai Chee (probably spelt wrong) is what I took in college many years ago. It is based on letting the agressors energy work against him by re-directing it past you with very subtle movements. while you remain calm and fluid. I think learning control would be beneficial to you and may prevent you from getting sick again. A good martial arts teacher would never allow a student to hurt themselves or push them selves too hard. Good luck on your quest.
Like any other contractor there are several things to consider. 1 Insurance - Make sure the contractor entering your home is properly insured. Its not enough to just ask, ask for a copy of his insurance accord then call the insurance company listed and verify that it is still applicable. 2- Look for a referral from a contractor (in any field) that you trust. Most established contractors will not risk loosing a customer with a bad referral 3-Ask for a price in writing before starting the job, I stress before. Also ask what could possibly go wrong to bring up the price. 4-Keep in mind you get what you pay for. This is the first time in my life I have ever heard of plumbers being out of work but it is happening so you may be able to save some money but be weary of someone charging half of what everyone else is, there's a reason 5-Google search UACC or PA both of these are professional association's for the plumbing industry. This does not tell you how good a plumber is but if they have the extra cash to join an association they are pprobably doing well and if they are doing well they are probably worthy which brings us back to price, they probably charge more. good luck and feel free to contact me for a referral if you are in my area
