When it comes to home maintenance, many items pop up on the mental “To Do List”, like cleaning the floors, walls, or gutters, repairing anything broken or malfunctioning, maybe even painting and refreshing your design! But a commonly overlooked item on that list is cleaning out your home’s air duct system. Because they are out of sight, the air ducts in your home can be easy to forget about, but when it comes to the health and safety of your family, having clean air ducts is a must. At Clean Air Pro, we care about maximizing your home’s safety and ensuring that the air you breathe is clean and healthy, so we provide comprehensive home air duct cleaning services. Learn more about Clean Air Pro’s five reasons why getting your air ducts cleaned regularly is important for your home.
Reduce Air Contaminants
First and foremost, clean air ducts help keep contaminants out of the air in your home, creating better air quality and fewer opportunities for allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues to flare up or cause issues. When your air ducts are dirty, there is a buildup of dirt, pollen, dander, and other kinds of allergens that can be pulled into your home from outside, or circulated from within (like dander and hair from pets). Because your air system is pushing air through those dirty ducts, the air that’s circulating can pick up bits of the build up and then filter it through your entire home on a loop, causing allergy flare-ups, potential asthma irritation or attacks, and even increasing the layer of dust that settles on your furniture and other surfaces – creating more cleaning and chores for you.
Save Money on Energy
It’s a well-known fact that dirty air ducts tend to result in higher energy bills for a home. This is because of the build up living in the ducts — with more debris and gunk in the way for the air being pushed through, the mechanisms in your HVAC systems have to work harder to push the air through to ducts to get it where it needs to be. When your ductwork is clean and clear, air flows more smoothly and keeps the temperature it’s supposed to be, helping create a more comfortable environment in your home with less energy needed from your HVAC system.
Ward Off Infestations
One of the many risks to keep an eye out for in a home is unwanted infestations of rodents, insects, or even mold. It’s generally easier for homeowners to check places like the attic or crawlspace for these kinds of infestations, but what about in your ducts? With regular duct cleanings, you’re taking that extra step to preventing common infestations from any of these unwanted ‘guests’ and ensuring that your air systems are clean, clear, and regularly maintained. If there are any infestations, the experts at Clean Air Pro are able to identify the issue and help with a solution!
Regular Maintenance Helps Prevent Expensive Repairs
Because looking into air ducts is difficult without specialized equipment, it’s easy not to notice if your air duct systems are in need of preventative maintenance. Just as you would keep an eye out to prevent infestations, homeowners like you can utilize regular air duct cleaning services as a way to have professionals lay eyes on areas of your home where you might not be able to spot an opportunity for necessary maintenance. By booking regular air duct cleaning services and any necessary air duct maintenance, you’re protecting yourself from having to pay for expensive surprise repairs or replacements in the future.
Air Quality Can Affect Quality of Life
Overall, great air quality helps you maximize your quality of life! When you have dirty air ducts, and poor air quality, your home and family can suffer from allergies or health issues, high energy costs, and even surprise costs from repairs or infestations that you never saw coming. By making sure your home’s air ducts are cleaned regularly, you’re keeping your family breathing clean, dust-free, and allergen-free air, helping ward away any health issues. You’re also keeping your house healthy by having professionals to look at crucial, unseen areas where there could potentially be an issue or necessary repair, and, of course, you’re saving money and energy over time by keeping your air systems efficient and running smoothly.
