Owning a home or property
comes with a wide range of responsibilities and maintenance requirements. One
of these requirements is the basic upkeep of the HVAC unit. You may be
wondering why you should have the duct work cleaned out if the unit is working properly.
There are quite a few reasons why the air ducts should be cleaned out. Some of
these reasons include:
- Dust
and dust mites
- Pet
dander and hair
- Allergies
- Mold
- Efficiency for running the HVAC unit
Dust and Dust Mites
Air
ductwork is an ideal place for dust and dust mites to gather. Every time you
turn your system on the dust and dust mites are being filtered out and through
the vents in your home. If you live in an area with a lot of new build
construction and enjoy having your windows open you may experience quite a bit
of dust and dust mite build up in your air ducts.
Pet Dander and Hair
It does
not matter if you have a dog or a cat, the dander and hair can drift into the
air duct work. If you have floor vents and your pet enjoys lying near these
vents the hair can slip through the slots of the vent. A professional yearly
ductwork cleaning by GreenPro Cleaning or your local cleaning company is
recommended every 1-2 years if you do have pets. This will remove pet hair and
dander from the vent into your home.
Allergies
If you
or a family member suffer from allergies you will greatly benefit from having
your air ductwork professionally cleaned by GreenPro Cleaning every 1-2 years.
It only takes a few hours to have the duct work cleaned and all potential
allergens are removed.
Mold
Mold
can actually grow inside of the air duct work. Many houses have ductwork in the
basement. Some basements are susceptible to seepage, leaking and even flooding.
If water becomes trapped in the air ductwork a mold can begin to grow.
Efficiency
Cleaning
an HVAC system's air ducts will prevent clogs. This general maintenance will
keep the system running smoothly. Cleaned air vents can prevent damage to the
HVAC unit.
