There is nothing as satisfying as a clean house. While your home may look clean, the hidden ductwork for your heating and cooling system is a favorite hiding place for dirt, dust, and other allergens.

Duct cleaning consists of cleaning the various components that make up the cooling and heating systems.

There are multiple reasons you should consider having your ducts cleaned. In order to prevent buildup, it is recommended that you get your ducts serviced twice a year.

 

What is air duct cleaning?

 Duct cleaning consists of cleaning the various components that make up the cooling and heating systems. This is not something that you should do on your own, as it is a complex process that requires prior knowledge of the system. Always rely on professions when it comes to getting your air ducts cleaned.

 

This includes substantial mold inside the ducts or on other components of the system, vermin-infested ducts, or ducts that are clogged with dust or debris. You also might consider getting your ducts cleaned if there are particles being released into your home that are affecting you or your family members.

How are air ducts cleaned?

Here are some giveaways of dirty air ducts.

  1. You found mold in your air conditioning system or furnace.

Both furnaces and air conditioners can develop condensation, causing mold growth to be a high possibility. If you see mold, there is a high chance your ductwork has also been affected.

  1. Your home was just built or just underwent a major renovation.

Construction is a really messy process. No matter how well the contractors clean up, dirt and dust will still manage to make it into your ductwork. This dust can also contain some pretty nasty particles that you don’t want to breathe in.

  1. No matter how often you clean, your house is still very dusty.

If you start realizing that all of the surfaces in your home are coated in dust no matter how often you clean them, it is probably time to get your ducts cleaned.

  1. Your heating and/or cooling costs are climbing.

These costs should be pretty predictable from year to year. If you notice that your costs have increased greatly, your ductwork might be causing that. Sometimes the ductwork can become so dirty that air isn’t able to properly flow through the system. Getting your system professionally cleaned will help solve the problem and hopefully lower the utility costs.

If you notice any of these things, be sure to call professionals to come to take a look and get your HVAC system and ducts cleaned.
