4 Reasons Why You Need a Vent Cleaning Before Winter Hits

With winter just a few short weeks away, many of us are already preparing to close up our houses for the next few months. But while airtight windows and doors do a good job of keeping cold air out, they also do a good job of keeping debris in. Before you close up your home for good this season, give it one final purification with the help of an air duct cleaning.

Cut down on allergens.

When you think of allergies, you probably think of flowers blooming and pollen swirling in the sun. But spring and summer aren’t the only times allergies can strike. We hate to say it, but allergies are actually a 24/7, 365-days-a-year problem. Ragweed, mold, dust, and pet dander levels are all just as high in the fall and winter as they are in the warmer months.

Get rid of dangerous mold. 

Not only is mold hazardous to your family’s health, but it’s also bad for your HVAC system. With enough time, mold build-up can start to eat away at your vents, meaning you’ll one day have to replace them entirely.

Improve circulation. 

Dust, mold, and other debris that’s trapped in your vents acts as a sort of screen. The first time you turn on your heat this season, some of that air you’re paying to heat will get trapped in these “dust screens” and never make it to its intended destination. When this happens, most homeowners are forced to bump up the heat — a waste of resources and money.

Improve your overall air quality. 

While clean air is important for everyone, certain groups are more sensitive to indoor air quality than others, like children, the elderly, and those with asthma. Having your air ducts cleaned means you’ll reduce the amount of contaminants everyone in your home breathes in.

Remove unpleasant odors.

Many homeowners don’t realize that the less-than-pleasant smells circulating around their home are due to moldy air vents. An initial cleaning, plus a preventative anti-microbial treatment from us will leave your air clean and smelling wonderful for months!
