You can spend all day deep cleaning your home to get that satisfaction of a clean environment. Your floors are polished, everything is dusted, and the aroma is fresh. But the reality is that if you neglect to add HVAC air duct cleaning into your schedule, your home might not be as spick-and-span as you thought it was. 

HVAC air duct cleaning is typically not on the forefront of people’s minds, simply because it is often viewed as an out of sight, out of mind element. However, if you have adopted this mentality, you may be subjecting yourself to some pretty awful adversities. All that dust, dirt, and allergen built up that can harm your overall health as you breathe it in, and the only way to ensure you are safe is proper maintenance by a NADCA certified professional. 

So, are you wondering if your HVAC system needs? If so, here are some telltale signs that you should contact a local air duct cleaning service like IAC-Indoor Air Care Professionals (call 631-451-7500) to ensure you are living in a healthy, safe home. 

1. You Have Not Changed Your Air Filter

One of the first things to think about is when you last changed your air filter. If it has been over two months, then there is a good chance that you may have accumulated a diverse range of airborne contaminants like mold inside that are now trapped in your HVAC system. Once there is a buildup of this, it can constrain the airflow, reduce the longevity of your entire system, and pollute your air.

2. You Have A Rising Energy Bill 

Tying to the first point, when you have dirty air ducts and potentially clogged areas, it can make your HVAC system work hard to get the same output as a clean one. This means it will soak up more energy, causing your energy bill to rise. If you have noticed an uptick in your bill, your air ducts could be the culprit. 

3. You Are Having Respiratory Problems 

If you are finding that you are having a hard time breathing or other family members are experiencing respiratory issues, then this is a red flag. When dirty air ducts circulate that dust and debris into your home, it can severely impact the air quality. Asthma, allergies, sinus problems, and other related illnesses may be able to be lifted with HVAC cleaning.

4. You Just Did a Remodel 

Though this one is a touch and go, if you just did a large construction, remodeling project in your home, make sure to have your air ducts cleaned out or inspected shortly afterward. This is a messy time, and though you can clean up your house with dust and mopping, you cannot forget about all that debris piled up inside your HVAC system.

5. Unpleasant Odor

Another way to know when to clean your air ducts is if you begin noticing an unpleasant smell in your home. That debris, mildew, mold, and dust in your HVAC system can cause adverse odors, making your home smell off even when there are no definite signs of what is causing it. You can always go right up the air registers and smell there to see if the odor is more prominent before calling a professional to assess.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are a number of ways you can tell if you need to have your air ducts cleaned out. Maybe you have one or two, or perhaps you are experiencing all of them. Whatever the case may be, getting someone to clean your HVAC is easy, fast, seamless, and will inevitably remediate those unpleasant effects.

All it takes is one simple phone call, and your respected professional will handle the rest.  

As a final note, if you have not hired someone to clean out your HVAC system within the last five years, then you should, regardless of the signs you may or may not have. According to the EPA, it is highly recommended that you partake in air duct cleaning every five years, or more if you see the above notable signs. It would be best if you considered having them inspected every two years, as some ducts can get dirtier than others at a faster pace.

It is no secret that air ducts and HVAC performances within both residential and commercial properties play an essential role. Air ducts, in particular, are what circulate the airflow from your HVAC system and ensures that your home or office building is properly maintained at all times. Because these aspects are critical for not only warmth and cooling, but also influences the health for you, your family and/or employees, it is crucial to keep them as clean as possible. With that being said, here are some of the top reasons why removing that built-up dust, debris, and contaminants is something to make a top priority.

Health Concerns

When dust, debris, and contaminants build inside your residential or commercial HVAC system, it can be a catalyst for some severe health concerns. For instance, the most common side effect of unclean systems and air ducts include breathing difficulties (coughing, sneezing, etc.), especially for those who already have respiratory health conditions or autoimmune disorders. If you want to make sure the environment that people are living or working in is entirely safe with quality air, then take the time to invest in both HVAC and air duct cleaning services.

Cleaning Can Eliminate Other Irritants and Molds

Though dust is the most common build-up, that is not the only thing that could be manifesting. Neglecting to partake in regular cleanings and maintenance can, in turn, allow a favorable environment for other microorganisms and mold to grow. These elements are all contributors that will significantly impact your air quality and living conditions. When air ducts are cleaned out, it not only gets rid of the current microorganism and mold, but it also can prevent it from ever occurring again in the future.

Air Duct Cleaning Reduces Odors

Another important aspect is the ability to reduce or entirely eliminate unwanted smells inside your home or building space. Mildew, paint fumes, pets, etc. are all smells that can get trapped inside your air duct and circulate it throughout the area. Not only would this deter potential employees and customers away, in home settings, it makes for a not so cozy atmosphere. By cleaning this out in both respects, you are giving your space a much more admirable aroma that illuminates clean and freshness.

Neglecting Cleanings Means Fewer Efficiencies

When your system and ductwork have extreme build-up, chances are it is unable to operate the best it can because the air supply is cut off. This means your system has to work much harder to get the same output, resulting in higher utility bills and due to inadequate energy consumption. Furthermore, nearly all HVAC systems malfunction or fail due to a lack of proper routine maintenance. So, if you want to save money each month energy-wise and be able to utilize your system on a more extended basis, keeping it clean is the best solution to achieve both.

COVID-19 has put the entire world on lockdown, and there is still no cure or vaccine to remediate it yet. As of April 5th, there have been 321,020 confirmed cases and 9,109 deaths in the United States this far. Because this virus is airborne and highly contagious, it is essential not only to practice social distancing, but to have an entirely clean home and workplace for optimal safety. To ensure that your environment is healthy to be in, it is vital you hire a professional residential and commercial antimicrobial cleaning company that can sanitize and rid your building of dangers.

Antimicrobial Services 

You can clean every day, multiple times a day, but there could still be germs left behind. By using an antimicrobial service, you can solidify your confidence that 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria will be non-existence for up to three years. Furthermore, the process is entirely environmentally friendly, noninvasive, and safe for human contact.

You will not only be protecting yourself now, but you will also stay safe years down the road if COVID-19 spikes again in the future.

Air Duct Cleaning

Your air ducts have an essential role in circulating the airflow throughout your building. Getting your air ducts cleaned out regularly is always a good idea, regardless of COVID-19. However, in a time like this, you will want to make it a priority, especially if you have not cleaned them in a while. Ducts can get clogged by too much dust and debris. Alternatively, these particles could be released into your build, which could contain the virus and get those inside infected if they breath it in. COVID-19 is an airborne virus that can linger in the same area for hours, even after the infected person has left. To eliminate that risk all together, it is highly critical to clean them out professionally to remove those contaminates.

Mold Removal

Mold should always be removed as soon as you notice it growing. Mold spores can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening symptoms, such as allergic reactions (sneezing skin rashes and shortness of breath). It can also trigger asthma attacks. Since COVID-19 is a respiratory virus, those who are in the presence of mold can increase their chances of obtaining more severe COVID-19 symptoms. By removing mold from the equation altogether, you will have a significantly reduced probability of being a high-risk individual and it could quite possibly save your life.

 1.  There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system. There are several important points to understand concerning mold detection in heating and cooling systems:

• For an untrained eye, it can be very easy for someone to not notice the mold or mildew growing, that’s why IAC-Indoor Air Care will check every inch of your home or office with manual and high-tech.
• Testing for mold is a crucial step in the indoor air care process because of how difficult it is to know what’s mold and what isn’t. IAC-Indoor Air Care’s certified technicians can tell you whether a sample sent to us is mold or simply a substance that resembles it.
• With insulated air ducts, the home or office insulation can get wet and moldy, sometimes the best decision is to get rid of them and install brand new insulation.  
• The longer you wait to get your ducts and HVAC cleaned, the more mold growth your home or office will experience.  That’s why it’s best for any Long Island residential or commercial property to get proper cleaning right away, due to the humid weather we have. 

2.  Air Ducts are infested with insects and rodents.

3.  Air Ducts are clogged with dust, dirt, and debris and/or any other harmful particles that may cause allergies or illness.

If any of the conditions identified above exists, then it’s time to call IAC-Indoor Air Care at 631-451-7500 or contact us here to get professional air duct, HVAC, and mold cleaning. 

Research also suggests that cleaning your HVAC system will improve the efficiency of your system, resulting in a longer life and less-expensive bills.  That’s why we stress the importance of proper indoor air care to our residential and commercial customers. The EPA states: “You may consider having your air ducts cleaned simply because it seems logical that air ducts will get dirty over time and should be occasionally cleaned. Provided that the cleaning is done properly, no evidence suggests that such cleaning would be detrimental. EPA does not recommend that the air ducts be cleaned routinely, but only as needed. EPA does, however, recommend that if you have a fuel burning furnace, stove or fireplace, they be inspected for proper functioning and serviced before each heating season to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning.”  Read more here.

Start 2020 with clean air!  Did you know that mold comes in all different forms and sizes?  While mold prefers moist and shady environments, your home or office can have mold growth inside and outside all year round!

When mold grows inside and contaminates your indoor air, you increase your risk to allergic reactions, illness, and more headaches like expensive bills and poor customer service.  Even worst, the longer you wait to get professional HVAC, air duct, and mold cleaning, the higher the chances of permanent stains throughout your building.

Watch Out For Mold!  The Negative Effects On Your Health Is Alarming…

When mold accumulates inside your HVAC and air duct, anyone inside the home or office can be affected, especially those typically affected by common household molds are those with allergies, lung disease, or compromised immune systems.

The danger of mold growing inside your air:

• Skin rash or itchy skin
• Allergies and Runny nose
• Congestion and Coughing
• Worsening of asthma symptoms
• People with immune or lung conditions may get infections from exposure to mold

Mold can also contribute to other health problems, like fever, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, headaches, diarrhea, and serious respiratory problems.

In addition to possible health problems, when mold is flowing throughout your air from the HVAC system and Air Ducts, fungi metabolism can release into the air microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). These compounds enter the air and can produce musty, unpleasant odors. Exposure to these compounds can irritate eyes and respiratory systems, and cause headaches, dizziness and nausea.

If you, a family member, or employee is suspecting poor indoor air quality, now’s the time to call IAC-Indoor Air Care!
