What are the Benefits of Duct Cleaning?
There are many potential benefits to regular HVAC duct cleaning and vent cleaning. Dust accumulation can affect your home in several ways. It can lead to stale air and stubborn odors. Dust can also absorb gases and chemicals and continue to release them over time. After many years, the buildup can get severe enough to interfere with airflow. When that happens, you may experience reduced comfort and increased energy bills.
Duct cleaning involves the use of industrial-grade vacuuming systems. There are truck-mounted systems for larger homes. For smaller homes, there are portable systems that we can roll into the house. These vacuums create negative air pressure in the ducts. That ensures that none of the dust we disturb reenters the home. We also use vent covers with portholes. The covers provide an extra layer of protection and make vent cleaning easier.
Dust that hardens over the years can become more difficult to remove. For those scenarios, we have other tools, including brushes, scrapers, and air nozzles. Sanitization after professional duct cleaning is also an option.
Watch for the signs you may need professional HVAC duct cleaning:
- Dust in return vents
- Uneven cooling or heating
- Persistent unpleasant odors
- Excessive dust accumulation
- Filters clogging faster than usual
