Do You Need Your Ducts Cleaned? Bartlett Heating and Air Has Signs of When You Should

When was the last time you had your duct work cleaned? Did you know that it is recommended that you clean them at least every other year? When you have a central air unit and heating you rely on the duct work heavily to get the warm and cool air throughout your home. You may or may not know that your ducts collect and accumulate a lot of dust, dirt, and debris as time goes on. Yes, there is an air filter in your HVAC system but it only catches so much dirt and debris, some still slips by and over time that little bit turns into a lot. Here are a few ways to tell if your ducts are overdue for a cleaning. You see an excess amount of dust floating around your home and sitting on the furniture and other areas of the home when you use your AC or furnace. You also see dust sitting on the grill of the registers. That can be an indication that you have excess dust in your ducts that is getting circulated around your home. If you have a stale odor that is apparent in your home when you run your AC it could be a sign that you need the ducts cleaned. It could be the bacteria and dust sitting in the ducts creating that odor. Cleaning your ducts will take care of that smell. If you have cold or hot spots in your home, it may be due to overly clogged ducts blocking the air flow needed for proper heating and cooling of your home. Hot and cold spots can also be due to leaks in your ducts. We can easily spot a duct work leak with a duct cleaning and inspection. It is important to get your ducts cleaned once a year or every other year to prevent excessive build up. It is also better for you and your families health to have them cleaned and sanitized.
