What is Air Duct Cleaning?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association has a general rule: if your air conditioning ducts look dirty, they probably are. Air duct cleaning is the process to remove dust, allergens, pollen, contaminants, pet dander, airborne irritants, dirt, and debris, that can enter your home through the circulation of your warmed or cooled air during the height of HVAC season.

An air duct cleaning is a cleaning service for the inside of the ductwork for homes with traditional heating and cooling systems. Air duct cleaning vacuums out the accumulation of dirt, dust, and debris such as dander reducing irritants and improving indoor air quality and the air you breathe.

Why Should You Clean Your Ducts?

Dust and dirt naturally enter homes and heating & air conditioning systems. By regularly maintaining furnaces and A/C’s, homeowners can keep most of the debris out of the indoor circulated air. However, it is a good idea to have your systems ducting professionally cleaned by licensed and insured certified technicians every 3 to 5 years.

Improving the air you breathe in the home is the primary reason homeowners should consider investing in routine duct cleaning. But, there are many benefits to having the dust cleaned from the ductwork.

  • Improved Air Quality
  • Remove Foul Odors
  • Better Airflow

When is it Necessary to Clean Air Ducts?

Rodents

Rodents and wild animals are known for finding industrious ways to stay warm and build nests for their family. It is common to find signs of rodents in the ductwork. They can easily break through ducting with loose seals or cracks and set up a house with homeowners never knowing. Rodents can leave behind unpleasant surprises that become problematic to health when circulated through the home. This is why it is important to ensure ducting is properly sealed and intact. If you discover signs of rodents, clean the air ducts as soon as possible.

Major Renovations

Home remodeling is great, but renovations can cause excess dust and contaminants from the drywall and paint to circulate in the air. Hiring licensed contractors are best, as they will take measures to ensure their job sites are contained. However, dust and debris can still enter the ducting. As part of your home remodel, consider scheduling an air duct cleaning once finished to enjoy the fresh air with your upgraded living space.

Mold

Any homeowners who have had a flood can tell you that remediation is a long process, but a necessary one. When homeowners have experienced a flood, contact licensed water damage repair specialists to provide mold remediation. During the process, homeowners will be advised if mold growth is present. If it is, it will be contained and removed from the home, but it is an airborne growth that can get into ducting. Having a UV air purifier and air ducts professionally cleaned is a preventative and cautionary step homeowner may want to consider.
