When is duct cleaning necessary?

1/13/2023

 
Although air duct cleaning makes sense on so many levels, sometimes we put off this important cleaning service for whatever reason. But this essential cleaning service can often save you money in the long run and will improve your health and your family’s health. So, when is duct cleaning necessary?

The day has finally arrived! You have moved into your dream house that was built just for you. You are going around cleaning all traces of building works, but have you thought that all that visible dust brought into your beautiful home when building your kitchen cabinets, plastering your walls, putting in insulation, etc. has also made its way into your ventilation ducts? It’s inevitable in a new built. This is one of the times when duct cleaning will be necessary before you even attempt to run your furnace or your air conditioning unit. The same aha moment comes into play when you have just finished your interior renovations as so much dust is created when doing any building works big or small!

Your nose can also be a great detector as to when duct cleaning is necessary. We all know that a musty, damp smell is always behind nasty mould. It is nearly impossible to see the mould or its tiny spores as the inner channels of your heating or cooling system span very long to accommodate all the rooms in your house. The contamination can start to build up in any section of the ductwork and once this polluted air is released in your home, you and your family could start to suffer from allergies and skin irritations. Also, any respiratory illnesses may worsen over time due to inhaling air contaminated by mould.

If you are an indoor smoker, it is also necessary to have your ducts cleaned regularly as cigarette smoke travels through the air ducts. The heating and cooling system then circulates it to every room in the house. The contaminants are continuously pulled into the system and are recirculated every time the air passes through it, they leave sticky and oily tar and nicotine residue in the ducts, and this accelerates the build-up of dirt, dust, debris, and other pollutants. Duct cleaning significantly improves your indoor air quality by circulating clean, fresh, and healthy air and this in turn can be of excellent help to people who wish to quit smoking.

Another major reason for having duct cleaning is the efficiency of your HVAC. A clogged-up system will work harder to produce the same results and will consume much more energy in doing so. The dirt in your air ducts can also cause damage to your heating and cooling system and over time will severely affect the performance of its compressor and motor.

When duct cleaning is necessary, choosing a reputable and professional cleaning company is key. Always make sure to explain your needs fully and to get an estimate before any work is carried out. Also check that they are using state-of-the-art equipment and following the latest procedures recommended by the industry. This will help you to make a confident decision.
