Is Your Home Due For Air Duct Cleaning?

Air Duct Cleaning

Today, more and more people are concerned about the quality of the air that they breathe indoors. This is a very important environmental concern and one that needs to be addressed effectively. Studies have shown that most issues affecting indoor air quality can be traced to the HVAC system. Dirt, dust, smoke, animal dander and other allergens and contaminants are present in the air and they circulate throughout the home each time the air conditioner or furnace runs.

Over time, the particulates in the air build up in the duct system and they can become prime breeding ground for bacteria, mildew, mold spores and other microbes. With poor quality air circulating in your home, you and your family members can begin to experience health problems. Having air duct cleaning is essential to keep your home comfortable and healthy. It is especially important to get the cleaning service if you have someone in the home that suffers from allergies. Following are some tips that will help you to determine when it is time to have your duct system cleaned.

When did you last get the service?

If it has been more than five years since the ducts were cleaned, it is time to get the service. Your ducts should not go longer than three to five years without cleaning. The duration will depend on the number of people in the home, the environment, size of your home as well as your location.

Is your home accumulating dust?

If you have noticed that your home accumulates dirt soon after you clean it, the problem could be the air duct system. Before you start blaming yourself or family members for sloppy housekeeping, you should consider the fact that a dirty system could be contributing to the dust problem. Duct cleaning can solve your problem and allow you to relax and enjoy the atmosphere in your home.

Increased allergies or respiratory problems

A good sign that you need air duct cleaning is if you or others in the home are experiencing increasing allergies and respiratory problems. Duct cleaning helps to reduce pet dander, dust and other contaminants floating around the home. These contaminants are responsible for the health problems.

Construction or renovation projects

If you have just completed a renovation or construction project in the home, you need to get air duct cleaning. The work can create a huge amount of dirt and debris that can affect the quality of air in your home. Professional duct cleaning services should be the final step of your project especially if it includes major structural work.

You live near a busy unpaved road

Your location will determine when and how often you should get duct cleaning. If you live close to a road that is unpaved, you know that you have to deal with more dust than usual. If this is your situation, you should get duct cleaning at least every two to three years.

If you have just purchased a home, you might not know the duct cleaning history. It is a good idea to get cleaning before you move in. You should also get cleaning if the home shows visible signs of mold. Effective air duct cleaning will lead to improved air quality, while also increasing the system’s efficiency and reducing your energy costs.

AIR DUCT

Process in which a skilled, and certified technician, uses “POWER VAC” to remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants from the HVAC system. Air duct cleaning consists of vacuuming, air washing and scrubbing all of the accessible components using a high pressure, pneumatic equipment capable of reaching every nook and cranny. That includes diffusers, branches, plenums, as well as a blower fan and a coil when needed. It is recommended to sanitize the ductwork for its optimum performance. Duration of the cleaning process depends on the complexity of the HVAC system.
