Air Duct Cleaning
Air ducts are a part of your home’s ductwork. Not to be confused with air vents, air ducts are passages located within the ductwork that deliver heated or cooled air to your home. As you can imagine, the indoor air quality of your home depends heavily on the cleanliness of your air ducts. The dirtier the ducts, the poorer your indoor air quality will be.
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.
How Often Do I Need Duct Cleaning?
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.
That being said, you might need more frequent cleanings if you have asthma, bad allergies, or another respiratory problem.
Indoor Air Quality and Duct Cleaning
As we mentioned, dirty air ducts can compromise the quality of your home’s air. 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
If your HVAC system isn’t blowing hot or cold air as it should, you might have clogged ducts. Your system won’t be able to blow air as easily if your ducts are clogged with dirt, debris, and other particles.
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.
Water Treatments
Sometimes, moisture and condensation seep into your air ducts. When this happens, mold is bound to grow in no time. Mold loves warm, wet environments and can grow rapidly once inside your air ducts.
If you’ve noticed a strange, musty smell or can visibly see mold growth, contact a professional. Mold growth is dangerous and can compromise the health of your entire household.
