Duct Cleaning
Having a clean duct system promotes a healthy living environment. Additionally, it improves the efficiency of your heating & cooling system and helps to lower operating costs. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average home has 2 to 5 times higher concentrations of pollutants than outdoor air. Dirty ducts and HVAC equipment can be full of dirt, lint, pollen, mold, pet dander, and other nasty contaminants.
While regular maintenance & filter changes sure help, over time build-up in your system will still occur. Ducting should be cleaned every 3-5 years. If you haven’t had yours cleaned in a while, you may be surprised to see what has accumulated over the years.
When was the last time you had your ducts cleaned?
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants, such as mold, fungi, bacteria, pollen, dust, and dander, potential can affect the health of the inhabitants of a home. One part of improving the air quality of your home is to have your ducts cleaned. While we recommend cleaning your ducting every 3 to 5 years, you may want to consider doing so more often if you have any of the following:
- Pets that shed
- Anyone in the home that suffers with allergies or asthma
- Smokers in the home
- After a home renovation or remodeling project
- Previous water contamination or damage to your home or HVAC system
- Before moving into a new home
