Clean Ducts Reduce Irritants In The Air
Small, often invisible, pieces of particulate build up into your air ducts just through normal operation. It takes a while for it to become visible, but when it does, it’s already causing problems.
The buildup of dust particles, dander, dust mites, hair, mildew, pollen, and lots of other irritants causes more of these particles to be released into the air that you breathe.
This can lower your indoor air quality and make your home quite unpleasant. By getting your ducts cleaned, you reduce the effect this has on your health.
Clean Ducts Are More Efficient
The buildup of particles in your ducts reduces overall air flow, especially if it gets particularly bad. When air flow is reduced, the entire HVAC system runs much less efficiently.
The reason for this is because when air flow is restricted, the HVAC system has to work harder to control the temperature. Having clean ducts reduces the effect this has on your HVAC system.
Having clean air ducts literally makes your HVAC system cheaper to operate. Not only that, it lowers the chance of a breakdown due to the system overheating!
Clean Ducts Produce A Much Nicer Smelling Home
Sure, your home might not have glaring odors. But there might be a musky tinge to it that you don’t notice, but visitors to your home often do.
This musk is caused by mold and mildew that grows in the buildup that accumulates in the ducts. The longer you go without cleaning your ducts, the more this stuff grows, causing an unpleasant odor.
What’s worse is that your ducts may cause the proliferation of unpleasant pet smells caused by dander and hair.
To solve this, get your air ducts cleaned regularly and take back control of your indoor air quality! Air duct cleaning is worth getting if you’re concerned about indoor air quality, your HVAC system’s efficiency, or how your house smells. You’d be surprised at how much of a difference it makes.
