What Are the Benefits of Duct Cleaning?
Because your air ducts act as the circulatory system for your home, it’s important to ensure the air moving throughout is clean and free of dirt, debris, and other unwanted contaminants. Having the ductwork in your home cleaned by a team of professionals regularly has several benefits, including:
- Improves airflow throughout your home
- Kills germs and other bacteria
- Removes dangerous mold and fungi
- Provides asthma and allergy relief
- Circulates cleaner, healthier air
- Removes foul, musty odors
- Helps your HVAC system operate at peak energy efficiency
- Reduces the potential for mold and bacteria growth
How Often Should Air Ducts Be Cleaned?
Professional air duct cleaning should be part of your home’s regular maintenance routine. If you don’t remember the last time, you had your ductwork professionally cleaned, it’s probably time to schedule an appointment. While you can do a little duct maintenance on your own, you can’t do a thorough clean without help from trained technicians and professional air duct cleaning equipment.
If you change the filters in your HVAC system regularly and keep up on maintenance, you should have your ductwork professionally cleaned every one to three years. It takes some time for dirt and debris to build up in your ducts, but they should be cleaned more often, depending on a few different circumstances. The air ducts in your home should be cleaned more often than every one to three years if:
- Your home has been recently renovated or remodeled
- You’ve recently had restoration services done
- You have pets and/or dander
- You’ve recently done a major cleaning project
- You have family members with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions
- You’ve seen visible dirt, debris, or mold in your ductwork
- You’ve had a recent infestation with rodents or insects
- You’re installing a new HVAC system
If you are concerned about your indoor air quality, talk to the professionals at Hawkins Service Company. We can help you decide if it’s time to have your air ducts cleaned by our highly trained technicians.
5 Signs You Need Duct Cleaning
Is your HVAC system not working like it used to? It might be time to schedule professional duct cleaning. Here are five signs that mean your ducts could use some attention.- Increased allergy symptoms: If you or your family members are experiencing more allergy symptoms than usual, such as sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes, it could be due to pollutants circulating through your ductwork. Duct cleaning can help alleviate these symptoms by removing allergens.
- Mold or mildew growth: Mold or mildew in your ducts is a serious concern that requires prompt attention. Not only does it contribute to poor air quality, but it can also pose serious health risks. Duct cleaning can effectively eliminate mold and prevent its recurrence.
- Strange odors: Unpleasant odors from your vents, such as musty or moldy smells, indicate the presence of contaminants in your ducts. These odors can permeate your living space and affect your indoor air quality.
- Insect or rodent infestation: If you notice signs of insect or rodent activity in or around your ductwork, such as droppings or nests, it’s essential to address the issue quickly. Duct cleaning removes the pests and eliminates any debris or contaminants they may have left behind.
- Visible dust buildup: If you notice dust gathering around your vents or on furniture despite regular cleaning, it’s a clear sign that your ducts need attention. Dust accumulation not only affects air quality but also reduces the efficiency of your HVAC system.
