What is Duct Cleaning and why is it important?

Ductwork cleaning is important for your home and also health. The ductwork is used to help distribute the airflow from your cooling or heating systems throughout the house. The process involves air being pushed through the house into the heater or air conditioner. That is where it’s either cooled or heated and pushed back through the ducts into the home.

SHOULD I CLEAN THE DUCTWORK BETWEEN SEASONS?

Yes, get your ductwork cleaned if they are filthy. Of course, duct cleaning isn’t on people’s regular home maintenance list. Remember to get the ducts cleaned if…

• The home has been remodeled.
• There is evidence of animal nesting or infestation in the ducts
• There’s evident mold growth inside the ductwork.
• Someone in the family is suffering from unexplained allergies.

Professional duct cleaning services use some specific brushes and vacuums that help clean the ducts throughout the home. The duct cleaning process should also involve a detailed cleaning of all the components of the HVAC system.

BENEFITS OF CLEANING DUCTWORK

The most vital benefit of cleaning your duct regularly is that you cut down the number of indoor air pollutions in the home. If you or your family suffers from respiratory issues or allergies and haven’t been diagnosed yet, it could be the indoor air quality.

·      Improve Efficiency

By cleaning the ducts regularly, you can create a significant improvement in the efficiency of the HVAC system. More debris and dirt in the ducts will get into the HVAC system. That can clog the system and lead to costly repairs or even a replacement.

·      Conserve Energy

You conserve a lot of energy when you clean the ductwork regularly every 3-5 years. On average, homeowners pay for 20 to 30% of conditioned air that they do not even use since it seeps out their leaky ducts.

Ductwork Cleaning Signs

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems push air through the ducts that run in your house in ceilings, walls, and floors.
