By scheduling an air duct cleaning Your Local Area resident can greatly reduce the amounts of dust, mold, and other contaminants in their homes. The incidence of allergies in America is at its all-time high, making it very important to most of us to have clean indoor air. Some people report that their indoor allergy symptoms begin to clear up after they have an air duct cleaning service done.
5 top reasons to get your air ducts inspected and thoroughly cleaned:
1. Efficiency. The buildup of hair, dust, and living things (pests) in your air ducts can prevent the air from flowing efficiently through the system. Dead insects, spider webs, waste from pests, and other organic material needs to be cleared from your ducts regularly. Air duct cleaning helps remove the material that’s built up inside your HVAC ducts, allowing air to flow freely.
2. Allergies. Your HVAC ducts, unfortunately, are an ideal dark, damp place for fungi, bacteria, mold, and other allergens to grow. These are can be especially harmful to young children up to the age of four, who are susceptible to developing indoor allergies and even asthma from breathing these contaminants. By having an air duct cleaning done, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from these particles.
3. Pets. Where there are pets, there’s hair and dander, and this gets pulled into the air ducts. If your air ducts haven’t been recently cleaned, pet dander from previous homeowners may still be lurking in your ducts, slowing down the flow of air. By cleaning pet hair and dander from your air ducts, you help the system work more efficiently.
4. Dust. If your home is new construction, you might be surprised by how much dust you’re cleaning up on a regularly basis. You dust the rooms one day and the dust seems to come back the same day. This is because the dust you remove from your belongings is going back into the ductwork and recirculating. Construction work creates a large amount of dust and debris, and if your ducts haven’t been cleaned since construction, you may still be circulating drywall dust and other construction debris throughout your home.
