How Often Do I Need Duct Cleaning?
Without regular cleaning and maintenance, air ducts can turn into a breeding ground for dust, mold, and other harmful contaminants. That’s why consistent air duct cleaning is important in maintaining your home’s air quality.
If you haven’t given your air ducts any thought, now’s the time. We generally recommend having your air ducts cleaned every two to five years. However, the frequency can vary based on individual circumstances. Don’t fall for contractors who try to convince you otherwise—they’re just trying to make a quick buck off of you.
You might need more frequent cleanings if you have asthma, bad allergies, or other respiratory problems.
Duct Cleaning and Indoor Air Quality
Dirty air ducts can compromise the quality of your home’s air. Dust and debris buildup can reduce airflow, drive up energy costs, and circulate allergens and pollutants throughout your home. This can lead to various health issues, like allergies and respiratory illnesses. Every home is different, and factors such as your location, household activities, and pets can affect your air ducts. Consider scheduling a duct cleaning if you notice any of the following signs:
Clogged Ducts
Clogged ducts could be the culprit when air stops flowing efficiently through your cooling and heating system. Over time, dirt, dust, pet dander, and other debris can accumulate, creating blockages that restrict airflow. This not only forces your system to work harder, leading to increased energy bills but also causes uneven heating or cooling throughout your home. If left unaddressed, clogged ducts can strain your cooling and heating system, leading to unnecessary wear and costly repairs. Day & Night’s air duct cleaning services remove these obstructions to restore optimal airflow, enhance system efficiency, and improve your overall comfort.
Pest Infestations
Yes, air duct infestations can happen. Pests like rats and insects love to make themselves at home in small, warm spaces. Pest infestations can lead to bad indoor air quality, causing excessive sneezing and coughing. Make sure wild animals stay out of your air ducts and away from your home with the help of Day & Night.
Moisture in Ducts
Excess moisture in your air ducts creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew growth, which can significantly impact indoor air quality. This issue is often caused by condensation buildup, which can result in musty odors, visible mold, and even health concerns like allergies and respiratory problems. If you notice dampness or suspect mold in your ducts, acting quickly is crucial. Day & Night provides expert solutions to address moisture issues, prevent mold growth, and ensure your air ducts remain clean and safe for your household.
