The Importance of Air Duct Cleaning

Why Should I Have My Air Ducts Cleaned?

When your air ducts bring in air to spread through your home as heating or air conditioning, dirt and dust also get pulled in with it and get stuck in the duct. These materials build up over time to form big clogs that not only slow down the air flow, but also contaminate the air as it passes through. Air duct cleanings clear out all of this debris to stop this from happening. Is it really worth it? Decide for yourself after reading about the benefits below!

1. It Lowers Your Energy Bill

   Have you noticed that your energy bill seems to be steadily rising every month? Or, perhaps that your air and heating seem to run for longer than they used to and it takes a while for certain rooms to be affected? All of these factors point towards a dirty air duct that's too blocked with dust and otherwise to work as it's supposed to. The built-up materials that get pulled inside slow down the air flow by making it much harder for it to pass through, and because of that it takes longer for the air to fully reach through the home. Hence, the extended run times. This all adds up over time and can cost you! However, a regular air duct cleaning will reduce this issue and can help ease those costs.

2. It Improves The Air Quality

   The other issue that arises from clogged air ducts is the pollution to the air that occurs as it passes through and picks up particles of dust and otherwise along the way. The effect can be something as small as fatigue, or something as big as causing issues breathing for people who already have conditions such as asthma. Allergies will also continue to plague you indoors from the allergens that taint the air as well. Periodically clearing out the ducts helps improve the quality rather than letting it suffer.

3. Clears Out Pests

   If insects or rodents happen to be making themselves at home in your ducts, a cleaning will ensure that they and their waste are all cleared out and further improve the health of your home or business, not to mention the health of your family, customers, and employees.
