Your HVAC system is responsible for circulating heated and cooled air throughout your house. However, in the process, it will accidentally pick up dust, hair, and dirt, which winds up accumulating in your ductwork. To prevent this mixture of debris from building up in the system, most properties require duct cleaning at least once every three to five years. Here are three benefits of regular servicing.

Advantages of Professional Air Duct Cleaning

1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

If you or someone in your family has allergies or asthma, the symptoms are likely worsened by the contaminants in the air. In addition, ducts that don't see regular cleaning can begin to grow mold which can also pose a health concern. 

To alleviate these breathing difficulties and keep your household healthy, make sure to maintain clean ducts.  Pet owners should also keep in mind that they have a greater need for regular maintenance to combat the spread of dander and fur.

2. Energy Savings

By cleaning the ducts on a regular basis, you improve airflow and, therefore, allow the system to run as efficiently as possible. In turn, this will result in lower heating and cooling bills. 

3. Longer HVAC Longevity

The dirt and debris lingering in your ducts can eventually cause wear-and-tear to the HVAC unit. Even if you change the filter frequently, dust and dirt may still infiltrate the vents and erode the mechanical components, leading to a possible breakdown. Duct cleaning can not only save you money on these repairs but also extend the life span of your system.
