Have your cleaned your home’s air ducts lately?

Air ducts are one of those things in a home that can easily be neglected.  You don’t see them often (or maybe not at all), so it’s easy to forget they exist.  But if you’re experiencing any allergic reactions or asthma symptoms, or if you feel like the air quality in your home could be improved, it could easily be due to air ducts that need to be cleaned.  Read on to learn all about air ducts in your home, as well as how often and why they need cleaned.

What are air ducts?

Air ducts are the pathways in which air travels throughout your home. These ducts are associated with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. They’re the way air circulates throughout a structure—which is why it’s so important to keep them clean.

What is air duct cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is the cleaning of air ducts throughout a home. It’s the process of removing dust and other contaminants that accumulate in the ducts over time.

Why should you have your air ducts cleaned?

Because air ducts are often out of sight (behind walls or above ceilings), they can be easy to forget about. But neglecting your air ducts can cause long-term problems that are too costly to ignore.

There are two main reasons to have your air ducts cleaned on a regular basis.

1. It increases indoor air quality.
   Over time, air ducts can become contaminated with dust, pollen and other debris. In addition, if there’s any moisture in an air duct, mold can easily grow, which can then be released into the living space of a home. Allergic reactions and asthma symptoms can then follow. However, cleaning air ducts can help minimize dust and allergens, which helps minimize the risk of allergic reactions and asthma symptoms for people in the home.
2. It increases heating and cooling system efficiency.
   Cleaning air ducts can greatly improve your home’s heating and cooling systems’ efficiency, giving this equipment a longer life span and saving you money on your utility bills.
