If your cooling and heating system uses ductwork, sediments like dust, dirt, and pet hair can collect on the inside of it. Having regular duct cleaning done by a qualified HVAC contractor may not seem like a key part of HVAC maintenance, but there are several benefits it provides that you’ll appreciate. Below are some of the key reasons to have regular duct cleaning done.

Why You Should Have Your HVAC Contractor Do Duct Cleaning

1. Better Air Quality 

The sediment that builds up in ductwork can contribute to increased allergies and foul odors throughout your home. If the pollutants are left to sit in the vents, they will be distributed through the house along with the ventilated air. Having them cleaned will improve the indoor air quality. You’ll experience reduced allergy attacks, and your home will smell cleaner and more pleasant. 

2. Reduced Respiratory Irritation

3. Better Temperature Regulation

Dirty ducts can inhibit airflow throughout the home. Ducts that are clogged with dust and dirt will have restricted airflow, leading some rooms and spots to struggle to keep up with the temperature of the rest of the home. Cleaning them will result in more even temperatures throughout your house, increasing your comfort with minimal effort.

4. Lower Energy Bills

A cooling and heating system can’t operate at optimal efficiency if its output is blocked by buildup in the ducts. When you have your ducts cleaned, the HVAC system will require less energy to provide more efficient and effective heating and cooling. With regular cleanings, your energy bills will decline and stay low because the AC unit won’t have to work as hard.
