Your ducts are what delivers the conditioned air to all of your home. They can get pretty dirty and the inside of your ducts can look like a clogged dryer vent. Duct cleaning is something that doesn’t cross your mind too often so we often go years without having it done. People should have their duct cleaned at least every other year. There are several benefits to having your ducts cleaned regularly, here is a list of them.
*Indoor Air Quality– The best reason to have your ducts cleaned regularly is the indoor air quality is greatly improved. When your ducts are dirty and the air is passing through them into your home, you will end up with that dirt circulating in your home. This is unhealthy for you and your family. Allergens are also mixed in there and allergy sufferers will have a harder time breathing when the ducts are full of allergens to circulate.
*HVAC System Protection– When your ducts are filled with dirt and debris your system is at risk. That dirt and debris can get into the sensitive parts of your furnace and air conditioner and cause issues. This can end up making your spend more money because your system might need repairs. You will also be going through filters faster due to the excess dirt filling them up faster each month. Having your ducts cleaned will save you money.
*Efficiency– The dirtier your ducts are, the more friction that is created meaning your system has to work harder to push air through the duct work into your home. This in turn raises your energy bills and put unnecessary strain on your system. That can lead to more repairs which means spending more money. Clean ducts will allow the air to move through easily which saves you energy. If you have areas of the ducts that are completely clogged you are making the system work extra hard to deliver the air.
Having your ducts cleaned will have you and your family breathing easier. It will also make your system run more efficiently which saves you money and untimely breakdowns. Call Bartlett Heating and Air today to schedule your duct cleaning!
