Our air ducts are like the unsung heroes of clean air, keeping our air quality in check and preventing you from inhaling all sorts of impurities. But these hidden passages are often overlooked in cleaning routines, turning them from superheroes to villains. Let’s discuss the reasons why you need to prioritize air duct cleaning.
Providing health benefits: Air ducts serve as your home’s respiratory system. Over time, dust, allergens, and contaminants accumulate in these ducts, circulating through your living spaces. Regular air duct cleaning helps remove these pollutants, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and allergies.
Preserving property value: A well-maintained home is a sanctuary for homeowners and attractive to potential buyers. And clean air ducts signify a commitment to a well-cared-for living environment.
Avoiding pest infestation: Air ducts can become hiding spots for insects and rodents. Neglecting their cleanliness may inadvertently invite unwanted guests into your home. Regular air duct cleaning is a proactive measure to avoid pest infestations.
Preventing HVAC equipment damage: Contaminants in the air ducts can force your HVAC system to work harder, leading to decreased efficiency and a shorter lifespan. Regular air duct cleaning can help extend the life and efficiency of your cooling equipment.
Keeping utility bills in check: A clean duct system improves the efficiency of your HVAC system, helping to keep utility bills in check and reducing the strain on your heating and cooling equipment.
At Rugsies, we recommend cleaning air ducts every 3-5 years. However, certain events may prompt more frequent cleaning:
• After a renovation or remodeling project.
• If you have pets that shed a lot.
• If you’re moving into a new home.
If you’ve lost track of when your air ducts were last cleaned and are wondering if you’re overdue for a comprehensive cleaning. Here are a few things to look for:
• Insects crawling in or out of your air registers.
• A noticeable release of dust or debris when you turn on your air conditioning system.
