Why Should I Clean My Air Ducts?

Health-threatening organisms including bacteria, mold, fungi, and mildew can live and breed in your air duct system. Indoor air pollution is ranked in the top five health risks by the EPA. One major source of indoor air pollution is dirty air ducts.

Imagine having a room in your home that you never enter so it is never vacuumed or dusted. Well, your air ducts are just that and every time you turn on your heating or cooling system, that dust is stirred up and blown into the rest of your home.

Many people suffer from allergies. Reducing the particulate debris helps to reduce dust particles and potential allergens in the air. These allergens include dust mite waste which many people are allergic to. Reducing debris in your ducts helps to reduce their food source.

How Often Should I Clean My Air Ducts?

Ultimately, the decision to clean air ducts comes down to a homeowner’s judgment. “Get a screwdriver, open up the register, and look in there yourself,” Schulte says. “Most can make up their mind at that point.” – Angi

What Factors Make My Home More Likely To Need Regular Duct Cleanings?

Duct cleaning companies specialize in removing particulates deep within air ducts, whenever necessary. If you feel like you need duct cleaning once a year or once every 5 years, the maintenance task can only improve your home’s overall cleanliness.

These factors may make you want to consider heating duct cleaning more often than the average homeowner:

Animals – Pet dander and pest infestations can both clog up your air ducts with unwanted debris, germs, and allergens. Consider having your ducts inspected if you have a shedding pet or you’ve recently had a mouse or other animal infestation.

Renovation – Air ducts should always be sealed to prevent dust and debris from construction work from lodging within the heating and air system. If they haven’t been effectively sealed off, get a heating and air specialist to come by for an inspection. If you’ve recently had lead paint removal or asbestos abatement in an older home, leaving the particulates in your ductwork can mean trouble for your family’s health.

Dust problems – If you feel like you’re constantly dusting off surfaces in your home, the problem may be in your ductwork. Circulating air through dusty ducts lets dust settle throughout the home, making everyday cleaning chores more difficult. Call Horizon Services for an inspection and see if dirty air ducts are to blame for the dust problems.

Mold – When you open up your air ducts, contact your HVAC provider as soon as possible if you see visible mold. Mold in the ducts and system can affect even non-allergy-sensitive individuals and needs to be addressed quickly.

Beware Of The Scams

A special report was conducted undercover to reveal the ways consumers get taken advantage of by unscrupulous companies who use false and misleading claims to overcharge for air duct cleaning.

Dateline “Low Priced” Air Duct Cleaning Scam

What About My Dryer Vent?

A dirty dryer vent can cause your dryer to work less efficiently. Having the vent cleaned may help shorten the run time and reduce the wear and tear on your dryer, which can help lengthen the life of your dryer and reduce the need for repairs.

Can I Clean Out My Dryer Vent On My Own?

While you can clean out your dryer vents, you may not be equipped to reach as far into your appliance or the ventilation pipes as needed to clear out existing debris. Heating and air companies have the experience and toolset needed to completely clean out your ventilation pipes and decrease the risk of clogging in the future.
