If you are like most homeowners, chances are that you don\u2019t give the condition of your home\u2019s ductwork much thought. We understand! After all, most, if not all, of your air ducts are hidden from sight, traveling through spaces between walls and through your attic. Exposed ductwork might look fine in places like quirky restaurants and commercial businesses with high ceilings, but you don\u2019t want it showing in your home.<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t mean your ductwork should <\/em>be completely out of mind, though. Ductwork that has suffered damage or accumulated too much dust, dirt, and debris will lead to poor HVAC performance and subsequently high energy bills. What you need to avoid this is professional duct cleaning services<\/a>!<\/p>\n The reason your ducts get dirty is essentially the same reason you need to occasionally vacuum, sweep, and dust your home. Dust and other various airborne particle circulate throughout your home, and most of them pass through your ventilation system many times.<\/p>\n In fact, a six-room home can circulate as much as 40 pounds of dust in a year! This dust, along with dander, lint, and other contaminants settle on the inner walls of your air ducts and start building up. The more it does so, the faster it will increase and start impacting your indoor air quality as well as HVAC performance.<\/p>\n The reason you don\u2019t want your ducts to get too clogged up with debris is the same reason you don\u2019t want an air filter in your HVAC system to get too clogged up either. The system simply can\u2019t operate as effectively when it has obstructions. Keep reading for the major benefits of professional duct cleaning:<\/p>\n You shouldn\u2019t need duct cleaning done every <\/em>year, like other HVAC maintenance tasks. However, if you have never had it done, now is probably the best time to get it. Generally speaking, we recommend duct cleaning every 3-4 years. This doesn\u2019t mean taking it upon yourself to stick a vacuum hose up your registers\u2014this would be ineffective at best. It means contacting trained and experienced professionals for the job.<\/p>\n\u201cWait, How Do My Ducts Get Dirty in the First Place?\u201d<\/h2>\n
