Cleaning your air ducts is a necessity due to what collects in ventilation systems, such as dirt, dust and other debris.  Every time your system turns on, these items are circulated throughout your home or business.

If you do not change the filters or clean out the ducts, then the ventilation system and the people breathing this air are negatively impacted.  Having your ventilation system cleaned will not only remove the debris, but will also improve the air quality in your home or business.

Even Your New Home Needs to Have the Duct System Cleaned!

Even if your home is brand new, having the air ducts cleaned is very important.  Throughout the construction of your home, debris will have collected contaminating the air duct systems.  Fine particles, such as sawdust or drywall dust, or other materials, will have collected in the duct system.  The only way to remove the debris is to have the system professionally cleaned.

The best way to know that your duct system needs to be cleaned is by dirty registers and grilles, excessive dust in your home or variant temperatures from room to room.  Other signifiers are an increase in energy bills, recent construction in or around your home, one or more pets in the home, smokers, water damage, or the most common one—people in the home who are suffering from allergies or related symptoms.

Contaminated ventilation systems can hold dust, mold, fungi and bacteria which can promote health problems, irritating or triggering allergies.  Removing these irritants from your ventilation system is the first step to improving the quality of air in your home.

A Clean Duct System Can Save You Money

Additionally, having the air ducts cleaned will reduce your energy bills.  This can be significant if this has not been performed on your ventilation system.  Dirt and debris collects in your system which can block the ducts, evaporator coil and blower. 

Build-ups can restrict airflow causing your system work harder and longer, which uses more energy, thus increasing your energy bill.  Cleaning the ventilation system not only reduces your bill, but also extends the life of your furnace or air conditioner.

The ventilation system should generally be thoroughly cleaned at least every three to five years.  However this will usually depend on the type of floor coverings you have, the number of animals in the home and the types of filters used in the HVAC system.

When having your ventilation system cleaned, you can expect for the job to take approximately two to four hours for a complete system clean, depending on the condition of the system.  Moreover, if there is more than one air-handling unit, or a large number of vents the cleaning can take longer.

The exact price will depend on the number and location of the air-handling units and number of vents in the home.  It is wise to obtain a quote for the job prior to hiring a technician to perform the job.

It is also important to remember that prices will vary when comparing multiple ventilation system cleaning companies.  Ensure that you are aware and understand that the quote for the job and the scope of the work to be performed is what you are expecting.
