Why Should I Have My Air Ducts Cleaned?
- Air ducts naturally accumulate sizable deposits of dust and other contaminants over a period of years.
- Dirt deposits will reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system and even cause illness by degrading the indoor air quality.
- Dirt deposits in your air ducts actually act as food for organisms such as dust mites.
Contaminates build up inside the return ductwork. Traditional heating and cooling systems recirculate the air in a home via supply air ducts and return air ducts. Many homes have inefficient filters, which trap less than 10 percent of the particulate that is circulated in the system. If not trapped by the systems air filter, the particulate accumulates in the duct work and on the internal components of your furnace or fan coil.
Duct Cleaning Benefits
Cleaning your duct work eliminates these contaminates with the following benefits:
- Safeguard your health by eliminating potential causes of allergies and respiratory problems.
- Eliminate the dirt that acts as food for dust mites, bacteria, mold and other micro organisms.
- Improved indoor air quality: Removing dust, allergens, and other pollutants from your ductwork ensures cleaner, healthier air circulates throughout your home.
- Increased HVAC efficiency: Clean ducts allow your HVAC system to operate more efficiently, potentially lowering energy bills and extending the life of your equipment.
- Reduced allergens & irritants: Regular cleaning helps minimize the irritants that can cause discomfort to those with allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.
- Reduced odors: A thorough duct cleaning can remove odors trapped in the dust and debris, leaving your home smelling fresher.
