The ducts and vents of your heating and air conditioning system collect considerable dust and debris throughout the year. These contaminants are recycled throughout your home, where they affect the air you breathe. Air duct cleaning is the most effective and comprehensive solution. Here’s a closer look at the benefits that come with this service.

Why You Should Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned

1. Improve Indoor Air Quality

You'll likely spend a lot of time indoors this winter, and you won't have the doors and windows cracked to let in fresh air. This makes it important to remove as many contaminants as possible before the weather turns cold.

Otherwise, you might experience itching, sneezing, runny nose, skin rash, and other discomforts, especially when the air dries out during the winter. Heating and air conditioning duct cleaning also lets you identify potential health risks before they become serious, such as a hidden mold infestation.

2. Reduce the Need to Dust

Dust that's collected in your ducts eventually finds its way into your living areas and coats tables, counters, and shelves. You may discover you need to dust more frequently after the HVAC system kicks on and blows dust all over the house.

This can be frustrating, especially if you‘ve just finished dusting. Having the ducts cleaned minimizes your housework and gives you more time for tasks you enjoy.

3. Boost HVAC Efficiency & Life Span

A surplus of dust cycling through the home will clog the air filter and vents and reduce airflow through the system. This puts stress on your heating and air conditioning system by making it run longer and more frequently than necessary.

This stress translates to lost money in terms of utility bills, a shortened equipment life span, and increased odds that you’ll need repairs. For greatest efficiency and lowest operational cost, have your ducts and vents cleaned annually.
