Duct Cleaning

Is Cleaning Air Ducts Useful?

Absolutely! Because ducts are hidden from sight, it’s easy to imagine that nothing can go wrong with them. But the gradual accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris along the duct walls can lead to many issues affecting comfort, health, and energy efficiency in your home. Professional duct cleaning helps prevent the following:

• HVAC system inefficiency: Ducts are designed with smooth interior surfaces so airflow through them meets little resistance. Even a thin layer of dust will alter this. Over a few years, the congestion inside the ducts will make the blower of your HVAC system strain to overcome the resistance, resulting in a rise in your utility bills.
• Air conditioner and heater damage: Dust and dirt in ductwork easily leads to dust and dirt inside the heater and AC. This can severely damage the system by causing motors to burn out and fans to jam. A layer of grime over the coils of an AC can lead to ice developing on the system.
• Low indoor air quality: All the dust that collects in ductwork turns into a reservoir of air contaminants that get blown into the air you breathe each time the blower comes on. Removing this source of indoor air pollution makes for a healthier, more pleasant household.
