Are stuffed up noses and itchy eyes causing a constant headache in your home? Allergens threaten the overall comfort and health of your home. The average 1500 square foot house has the potential to contain up to forty pounds of dust. That’s quite a powerful allergy causing agent, taking away the enjoyment of your home life.
The heating and cooling system in your home functions as the respiratory system of your home, breathing in bad air and expelling it throughout your home. This “bad air” full of allergens and potential toxins can be re-circulated through your home more than five times a day causing build up in your ducts.
Duct cleaning is a service performed by a professional HVAC technician. This technician will use tools to clean out the dirt in your airflow system. During this process, your supply and return ducts, registers, grills, diffusers, heat exchangers, and cooling coils are thoroughly cleaned to produce a fresh supply of filtered air. After this process, your home duct system will be sanitized and safer for people with respiratory disorders and allergies.
If you have pets in your home, duct cleaning is almost a necessity. As much as you’re vacuuming dog hair from the floors and furniture of your home, the dander from your pet is busy exiting and re-entering your home via the duct system. Is someone in your home with an animal sensitivity constantly sneezing? Duct cleaning could be a big help to reduce the discomfort in your home.
Duct cleaning can also assist in lowering the costs necessary to heat or cool your home. If you’ve got issues with helping your home maintain the desired temperature, the ducts may be the issue. Dirty air ducts can cause a waste of up to 40% of the energy used in your house. The dirt and dust in your ductwork can cause that system to work harder and decrease the life of the system.
