What Are Winter Duct Cleanings

 

Every season requires some cleaning. During winter, business owners and homeowners tend to push aside the importance of duct cleanings in winter, as the heating starts to do more work than the AC. But, even your heat ducts need special attention this season. So, what are winter duct cleanings? Here are our steps:

Step 1: Why Get A Cleaning?

Just because it’s wintertime doesn’t mean you should ignore the safety of your system. People don’t often associate clean air with your heating since it’s mainly focused on when you have your AC running. In addition to average accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes and buildings throughout the year during regular use, several other factors can increase the need for an air duct cleaning:

• Pets
• Occupants with allergies or asthma
• Cigarette or cigar smoke
• Water contamination or damage to the HVAC system
• Home renovation or remodeling projects

Step 2: Inspect Your HVAC System

There are a few clear signs that your heating and air conditioning system needs to be cleaned. You’ll need to inspect it before you know whether or not you’ll need to call in some professionals to clear out your ducts. With a screwdriver, remove a floor or wall register. If there is visible dust, dirt, or debris, you should have your ducts cleaned. There are two critical components to HVAC cleaning: Breaking contaminants loose and collection of contaminants. You’ll want to get this done before temperatures drop too much since your system will need to be on full blast by then.

Step 3: Get Your Whole System Cleaned

It isn’t just the ducts of your system that need a good cleaning. While, yes, this will help lead to more fresh air and safely filtered heating, a full HVAC cleaning will benefit you greatly. Failure to clean all system components can result in re-contamination of the whole system, thus minimizing the benefits of cleaning. We will clean the entire system, including:
