Air Duct Cleaning: What to Know

Keeping the indoor air healthy and free of dust, dirt, and other allergens can significantly impact the health and comfort of the people inside. One overlooked necessity for clean air? Air duct cleaning! This blog post explores how people, air conditioning, and heating systems can benefit from professional air duct cleaning and indications that it is needed. 

Benefits of Duct Cleaning

Air duct cleaning has many benefits, both for people’s health and the efficiency of the HVAC system. It is recommended to have the air ducts cleaned at least every few years to reduce indoor allergens like dust, mold, and pet dander. Regularly cleaning the air ducts improves indoor air quality by removing contaminants that can cause respiratory health problems and aggravate allergies. 

Additionally, a clean air duct system can help reduce energy costs by reducing dust and debris that can block airflow and reduce the energy efficiency of the AC and heater. Finally, duct cleaning can also help extend the life of an HVAC system, as dust buildup in the system causes it to work harder than necessary and wear out faster. Overall, routine air duct cleaning is important to keep an HVAC system running efficiently and for less and improve the indoor air quality, keeping people healthy.

Signs the Dirty Ducts Need Cleaning

Some health symptoms that may indicate dirty air ducts are coughing, sneezing, sore throats, runny noses, eye irritation, and headaches. Worsened symptoms of allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues can also point to low indoor air quality from dirty ducts. 

Other signs that indicate the need for air duct cleaning include strange odors, dust, mold, or mildew on or near the vents, increased dust in the space, or weak airflow. Once the ductwork is cleaned, the indoor air quality will improve, creating a cleaner and healthier environment indoors. 

Easy Ways to Keep Air Ducts Clean

Cleaning is a highly underrated way of keeping air ducts and HVAC systems clean and working efficiently between professional cleanings and maintenance. Maybe it’s because maintaining a clean space is a foregone conclusion – something every business owner and homeowner should do in the first place. But the fact is, making cleaning a habit is the best way to maintain clean indoor air and prevent dust from accumulating in the air ducts or air filters, which impacts the smooth operation of the HVAC system. 

But there is another way people can help keep their HVAC systems running efficiently. They should replace their air filters on time, generally at least every three months, depending on the filter type, to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and improve indoor air quality.
