As many service companies already know, having the ability
to
complete more service calls per day, month, and year means
more
money earned.
All portable duct cleaning equipment requires long setup
times. The
machines are heavy, 150 to 350 lbs., and can be as big as
a fridge. The
ones that don’t sit outdoors have to be moved into
the house or
building and be taken up and down stairs.
Portable equipment typically generates 1,500 – 5,000
CFM at less than
1” of static pressure. With the low volume of CFM’s
you typically have
to zone the duct system into 3 or 4 zones in order to clean
it. This
zoning takes time and cost money.
Portable equipment users will typically comment on requiring
up to 5
hours to clean the ducts in a 2,000 sq. ft. house.
A Biltwel vacuum truck gives you 12,500 CFM @ 15.5” Static
Pressure.
Users of Biltwel vacuum trucks typically comment on completing
3 or 4,
2000 sq. ft. houses per day with only 1 technician. The technician
is
using a combination of high-powered vacuum, compressed air
whips,
and brushes to do a high quality of work.
Companies with a Biltwel vacuum truck using only high-power,
vacuum, compressed air, and 2 technicians’ comment
on completing 6-
8 houses per day.
Biltwel vacuum trucks are parked outside the house and an
8”-10”
vacuum hose is run into the home. Carrying a 30-pound vacuum
hose
and airlines is faster and less labor intensive then setting
up portable
equipment.
Most portable units are made for one particular task, duct
cleaning. A
Biltwel vacuum truck is made to clean; air ducts, furnaces,
hot water
heaters, boilers, air conditioning coils, dryer vents, fireplaces,
wood
stoves, and insulation removal. A Biltwel vacuum truck parked
150ft.
away from a house will have more powerful suction in the
duct system,
be able to clean more components on the job and will do it
faster with
one technician than using a portable unit with 2 technicians.
There is a place in the market for portable equipment that
is why we
also sell portable units, but in our 30 years or experience
portable units
are for hard to reach commercial job sites not for HIGH PRODUCTION
residential and commercial duct cleaning.
At Biltwel we have our own duct cleaning company “Modern
Power
Vac,” that has a fleet of 12 vacuum trucks and 2 portable
units. Our
vacuum trucks work every day of the year while our portable
units go
out approximately 2-3 weeks per year (and never on a residential
job
site). For hard to reach commercial job sites or high rise
condos, our
portable units are a great tools when required, but
they fall short in being an all around machine.
