All You Need To Know About Air Duct Cleaning and Its Importance

The air ducts in your home or office have a very significant job. They circulate the airflow from your heating HVAC system to ensure it is suitably conditioned at all times.   This air circulation occurs several times throughout the day and it’s important to properly clean and maintain them.

However, it’s not just the coolness or warmth that affects you; it affects the air you breathe as well. You spend several hours inside your home every day. Therefore, it’s very important to make sure that it is as clean as possible.

Duct cleaning generally refers to the process of cleaning the ductwork inside a building or house using professional equipment and high-power vacuum tools. Duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce your utility bills by optimizing the furnace’s performance and increasing airflow.

 

Why should you schedule duct cleaning?

The extensive upsurge of grime, dust, and particles in the air ducts results in constrained airflow. When airflow is constrained throughout the house, you might experience cold and warm spots and incompatible temperatures all through the house. 

The contemporary HVAC systems are designed to detect when the air has attained its desired temperature and regulate accordingly. When there is an obstruction in your ducts, your HVAC system might operate for much longer than it should, which can lead to a higher utility bill. 

Moreover, dust can easily blow into the other rooms of your house and lead to poor indoor air quality. Scheduling a specialized duct cleaning service ensures that your heating and cooling equipment runs competently and contributes significantly to a more relaxed environment.

When should you get your air ducts cleaned?

We recommend scheduling your duct cleaning once every 1 to 2 years. If you are a smoker or a pet owner, duct cleaning should be executed repeatedly.

Although, if any of the following problems arise, call a professional like IAC-Indoor Air Care as soon as possible. We can evaluate if there is an obstruction in your ducts and ensure your furnace is running at an optimal level.

• You observe dust particles churning out of the vents.
• There is incompatible airflow in some parts of your house.
• There is little to no airflow emerging from one or more vents.
• You sense a musty smell from the vents, which could signify mold.
• You think that there are insects or mice in the ducts.
• You believe that an item has fallen into the ducts.
• You’re feeling higher than normal allergy symptoms.
• You suspect mold and mildew growing inside your vents (Learn more at IAC-Moldbusters)

Another reason to schedule a specialized duct cleaning is if you’re moving into a new house or if you’ve had major restoration. Combined with customary furnace maintenance, duct cleaning can help keep your HVAC system operating proficiently and improving the lifespan of your furnace.
