The Pros and Cons of Professional Air Duct Cleaning

Because it is a relatively new industry and there isn't a ton of information available, air duct cleaning is a hotly-debated topic. Luckily, GreenPro Cleaning & Restoration is here to shed some light on the topic. Here is a list of air duct cleaning pros and cons from the people who know it better than anyone else:

Pros:

• Removal of allergens and dust. Did you know the average three-bedroom home generates more than 40 pounds of dust per year? Much of this dust – along with pet dander, pollen, and even mold – could be hiding in your air ducts.
• Better HVAC system performance. Removing the built-up debris from the inside of your air ducts can have a significant impact on your HVAC system. Clean air ducts allow for better air flow, improved energy-efficiency, and reduced wear-and-tear.
• Improved air quality. The air in your home can be more polluted than outdoor air, and the contaminants in your air ducts play a key role in that. Indoor air pollution has been linked to lung cancer, heart disease, and COPD.

Cons:

• Cost. It is impossible to effectively clean your air ducts on your own, so you will have to hire a professional service.
• Difficult to find a reputable contractor. Unfortunately, there are many con artists out there posing as air duct cleaners. Be cautious of any company advertising unreasonably low rates, such as $99 for a full air duct cleaning.
• Some companies may use harmful chemicals. Some companies use cleaning agents that do more harm than good. Luckily, GreenPro Cleaning isn't one of them. All of our products and procedures are 100% eco-friendly.
