What About Your Ducts?

8/6/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know that the air ducts in your home can have an impact on your health! Air ducts provide an especially important function they circulate air from your heating and cooling systems into each of the rooms in your home. The air that you and your loved ones breathe in circulates through those ducts’ multiple times a day! So naturally, you would want those ducts to be as clean as possible so the air that filtrates through them will also be clean!

Air duct cleaning involves the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems. This included the supply and return air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, drip pans, fan motor and fan housing, as well as the air handling unit housing.

If not properly maintained these components of your air duct system may become contaminated with dust particles, pollen, and other debris. Ventilation systems are often the biggest culprits in poor air quality. Proper cleaning can reduce the allergens and irritants and improve air quality and breathing. 

Having your ducts professionally cleaned can also remove unpleasant smells and odors. Odors from pets, cleaning agents, paint fumes, tobaccos and even mold contribute to odors in air ducts. And every time your duct system is on these odors repeatedly flow through your home. A professional cleaning removes all odor trapped particles and freshens the smell in your home!

Ductwork that has heavy build up and debris also restricts and can block the air flows efficiency. This forces your system to have to work harder to cool or heat your home, decreasing the efficiency.
