This is an easily preventable issue,\u201d said Kirchner, who did work for Kennedy\u2019s fire and water restoration business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlong the same lines we have done many restoration projects on properties with mold, water and fire damage. The air ducts in these properties are affected and need to be cleaned for healthy air quality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are fully licensed, certified and insured. We serve residential homes, businesses and institutions with the same dedication to quality and attention to detail,\u201d Kirchner and Kennedy said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cOur commitment is simple: to provide exceptional service that ensures the air quality and safety of your property,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>Kirchner said it took Duct Kings a couple of months to develop a good system that is now in place. The company employs a three-person field tech crew and one office person. \u201cWe are looking to add another service van and another field tech team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that regular air duct cleaning improves the indoor air quality. People sometimes get sick because of clogged air ducts and associated mold and dust. Kennedy and Kirchner recommend that residential and commercial air duct systems be cleaned every two or three years.<\/p>\n<p>Using the example of a 2,000-square-foot home, Kirchner said a duct cleaning would cost approximately $700. A dryer vent cleaning costs $99.<\/p>\n<p>When a home\u2019s ducts are cleaned on a regular basis it decreases the home\u2019s energy bills because the furnace runs more efficiently. \u201cOver the course of three years, the home would save $700 on energy bills,\u201d Kirchner said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Duct Kings see: &#x69;&#110;&#102;o&#x40;&#x64;&#117;c&#x74;&#x6b;&#105;ng&#x73;&#110;&#121;&#46;&#x63;&#x6f;&#109;.<\/p>\n<p>KPM Restoration, which been in business for more than a dozen years, is also located in Mechanicville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By LEE COLEMAN Duct Kings, a new business specializing in professional air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning and mold removal, has opened at 5 Knabner Road in Mechanicville.
