With winter just around the corner, it will soon be up to your HVAC system to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all season long. Before you turn it on, however, there are some steps you must take first to ensure optimal performance, including professional air duct cleaning. Here are a few reasons why you should hire a professional to clean your air ducts in the fall.

3 Benefits of Autumn Air Duct Cleaning

1. Remove Pollen & Allergens

Air conditioning units run throughout the late spring and summer seasons, which is when allergies are at a peak high. This causes pollen and other allergens to become trapped in the ducts and continue to circulate through your home. Scheduling cleaning in the fall will ensure you don’t continue to experience allergy symptoms in the winter.

2. Improve Indoor Air Quality

Dust and debris pollute your indoor air quality, which may make your home feel stuffy in the winter and increase your household’s risk of developing illnesses, like the cold or flu. Removing these contaminants from your ducts will ensure you breathe in clean air as you spend more time indoors during the winter season.

3. Increase Energy Efficiency

When ducts are clogged with debris and dust, air can’t properly circulate through your home. As a result, the HVAC system must work harder to reach the thermostat’s set temperature, which wastes energy and spikes up your monthly utility costs.
