When it comes to home maintenance, your ducts are probably last on your mind. But there’s good reason to get them cleaned regularly, and maybe even add the task to your yearly checklist.
In this blog, we’ll outline five reasons to invest in duct cleaning if you haven’t in a while. As a Willow Grove HVAC company for generations, we’re happy to share our expertise with the community we serve.
Duct Cleaning: Key to Indoor Air Quality and HVAC Efficiency
Can’t remember the last time you had the ducts cleaned? Here are a few ways completing this project contributes to the upkeep of your home, and why you should consider hiring a pro to tackle it soon:
- HVAC Efficiency: Dirty ducts could potentially be stifling your HVAC system’s efficiency. Think about it: Even if your system is the latest, most efficient model, it will have to work harder to distribute air through murky ducts. Over time, that could be adding up to a bigger bill.
- Fewer Breakdowns Over Time: As your HVAC system works harder to push air through a blocked system, it could be wearing out faster. A small investment in duct cleaning could be a much larger investment in an HVAC system that breaks down less frequently.
- Allergy Relief: The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends cleaning the ducts every three to five years in the average household—but yearly if residents have serious allergies or asthma. Clearing the ducts of allergens regularly helps keep the air you breathe from activating troublesome symptoms.
- Indoor Air Quality: Speaking of the air you breathe, indoor air quality is important even for those without allergies. Consider getting the ducts cleaned if you have pets that shed, if there are smokers in your home, or if you’ve done any type or renovating in the home recently. These activities contribute to polluted indoor air quality, which could affect your health over time.
- Mold Buildup: Finally, if there’s been a water event in your home (like a flooded basement), your ducts are in danger of mold buildup that damages the home and potentially harms your health. Duct cleaning is the simplest way to resolve this issue, though you might consider having the home inspected by a water remediation company as well to ensure the structural integrity of your home is intact.
