Few things are more satisfying than whipping out the rubber gloves and giving your home a deep clean each spring. But when’s the last time a duct cleaning made it onto your to-do list? If you live in southwestern New York or northwestern Pennsylvania, let the experts at Colburns Heating & Air Conditioning give your ductwork a professional cleaning this year. Clean air ducts aren’t only good for your HVAC system: They’re good for your whole family.

Here’s why you should make your home’s air ducts a part of your spring cleaning routine this year:

• Improved Indoor Air Quality: According to the EPA, the air inside your home is several times more polluted than the air outside. This is especially true during the winter, when your windows stay shut and the same dust, pet dander, and other environmental contaminants recirculate through your home’s HVAC system all season. When these pollutants can’t escape your home, they build up in your heating and air conditioning system, reducing your home’s indoor air quality and aggravating allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. An air duct cleaning removes irritants and protects your family’s health.
• A Better-Smelling Home: Dust, mildew, pet dander, and even chemical cleaners can accumulate in your air ducts and cause stale, musty odors to circulate through your home every time your furnace or air conditioner cycles. A professional duct cleaning stops unpleasant odors at the source by removing contaminants, ensuring a fresh-smelling home.
• Lower Energy Bills: When dust and grime build up in your ducts, your heating and air conditioning system has to work harder to keep your home comfortable. An HVAC system that isn’t running efficiently can cause your energy bills to skyrocket. Regular air duct cleanings keep your heating and cooling system running at optimal efficiency and extend its life. They also reduce your bills.
