The benefits of cleaning your air ducts.The benefits of air duct cleaning run the gamut from health-related to financial. Your furnace and ductwork serve as your home's respiratory system, pulling air from inside your home through the return ducts, where the air moves through the air filter into the furnace to be heated before passing through the supply ducts and back into your living space. Dust, pet fur, debris, pathogens, allergens, chemicals, dust mites—all of these contaminants become trapped inside your air ducts over time, and as the air moves through the system, it passes through these dirty ducts, redistributing the dirt throughout your home or simply depositing it in the ducts where it builds up over time. Air duct cleaning can dramatically reduce the number of contaminants present in your home's indoor air.  *Photo taken in the field by our very own technician. Notice the amount fur built up in the air duct system. Cleaning the air ducts in your home increases air flow within the system, helping to improve the efficiency of the HVAC system by distributing air throughout the house more quickly and with less effort. Regular cleaning of the air ducts also minimizes dust and debris entering the furnace, thereby helping to prevent clogging of the unit.

Air Duct Cleaning: Recommended FrequencyAir duct cleaning is typically recommended every one to three years. Some reasons to clean more frequently include pets in the home, occupants who have allergies or asthma, and remodeling or construction work. The latter especially causes large amounts of dust and debris to be generated, which can clog up HVAC system parts—reducing system efficiency and decreasing indoor air quality. You'd be surprised by the things we find inside air ducts!
If you are not sure whether an air duct cleaning is needed, have a look at some of the visible components of the system—the register covers and the vents just behind them, and your furnace itself. If a fair amount of dust is visibly present, it's fair to assume there's a similar amount inside the ducts themselves. When in doubt, you can sign up for the lowest level of service (Standard), and the technician can perform an assessment before work begins.
