If your HVAC system has been damaged, repairing it can be a cost-effective way to improve its operation. However, if the damage is extensive, it may not be possible to repair it. It is recommended to inspect your air ducts annually and clean them every 3-5 years. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate in the ducts, making your HVAC system work harder and reducing the quality of air flow in your home. Professional cleaning may be necessary to improve the performance of the system.
Cleaning the ducts can eliminate airflow obstructions, remove musty odors from ventilation grilles, reduce the amount of dust and debris in your home, and help people with allergies or asthma. In addition, professional cleaning can remove dust from renovations or pollen season remnants. Incorrectly sized ducts can cause excessive wear on the units and air leaks that allow hot or cold air to escape. If mold is found in or around the ducts, it must be removed by a professional. Cleaning the air ducts also reduces dust in the ducts, preventing it from entering your home when the air conditioning system is activated. If there is a rodent infestation in your air ducts, you will need to call an exterminator as well as a professional service to clean them.
Finally, cleaning the ducts can prevent future airflow problems by preventing build-up. The technician will also inspect the ducts while they are being cleaned for sections that need to be repaired or sealed. Cleaning the ducts will eliminate any build-up of debris that blocks air flow and restore normal airflow. In conclusion, cleaning your air ducts can reduce dust and allergens in your home and improve the performance of your HVAC system.
