Why and When Air Duct Cleaning Is a Good Idea

On its website, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that, “If you decide to have your heating and cooling system cleaned, it is important to make sure the service provider agrees to clean all of the system and is qualified to do so.” As such, you shouldn’t have just the exposed parts of your HVAC system cleaned, but every other part of it as well, including all air ducts. Home Air Services, one of the most trusted local HVAC installation contractors , shares why cleaning air ducts is a great idea and how often you should do it.

HVAC Health

Polluted air is a concern whether you’re spending time indoors or out. If your HVAC system isn’t working as well as it should, you can be as vulnerable to pollutants inside your office or home as you would be outside of them. As all components in this system affect each other, every part of your HVAC unit needs to be properly maintained throughout its life span in order for it to work well.

Benefits of Clean Air Ducts

Professional HVAC companies like Home Air Services can help you reap the various benefits of having clean air ducts. Preventing mold growth and the health risks associated with it is one of them. Cleaning your ducts will also help clear your home or office of allergens and contaminants that come from the environment and even the products with which we clean our homes. In addition, cleaning your air ducts can also aid in saving on energy costs, as it will help ensure that your HVAC system is working as efficiently as possible.

When to Clean Air Ducts

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning out your air ducts every three to five years. Certain circumstances may require air duct cleaning outside of the suggested period, however, such as the presence of mold growth near your HVAC unit. Another good time to do it is upon the completion of a home improvement project, as well as any time you notice an inexplicable increase in heating and cooling costs, which can be an indicator of dirty air ducts.
