Five Major Reasons to Clean Your Air Ducts

By: christineh Wednesday January 17, 2018 comments

When it comes to routine maintenance of your home or office, many people hit the high points—the cosmetic features such as the flooring and walls and the major equipment. However, one area that often goes forgotten air ducts. Cleaning out air ducts should be added to your routine maintenance and upkeep schedule for a number of reasons, including the following:

Health

Cleaning out air ducts prevents a buildup of mold, dust, pet dander, and other allergies that can negatively impact your health. For businesses, this can mean a substantial loss of productivity from employees having to take off because of illness or allergy problems.

Cleanliness

If you feel like you are losing a constant battle with dust accumulation, the cause could be too much dust in the air ducts. The ducts might be circulating dust through the building, making things seem dirty.

System Efficiency

If you allow dust and dirt particles to build up over time, your HVAC system will have to work harder to function. Eventually, this will cause the system to work too much and wear out faster than expected. A good cleaning will help your HVAC system work at peak efficiency to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Energy Savings

We’ve already established that if your air system is clogged, it can cause your HVAC unit to have to work harder. Ultimately, this can cause higher electric bills from the energy output. Not only can air duct cleaning save you money, but it can also save energy and keep you “green.”

Pest Control

A final, ugly reality is that air ducts can sometimes be the perfect nesting place for pests such as rodents and insects. By cleaning the system regularly, you can be alerted quickly to their presence and can also help to get rid of the pests before they become a major nuisance.

Air ducts can be tricky to clean, especially for novices. If you are considering getting your air duct system cleaned, make sure that you consult a professional cleaning crew. The results will be good ones and can help make a healthier, cleaner and happier environment.
