Why Duct Cleaning – Why clean my Air Ducts?
What if I told you there are trillions of allergens finding their way into your home every day? Crazy, right…Well you can combat these allergens by keeping your ducts clean. Duct cleaning is a way to reduce the sources of contaminants in your air that could trigger adverse health conditions.
Think about the last time you did a little spring cleaning around your house. You move the couch and find an inch of dust that has built up over the past year. This same dust accumulates in your air ducts. Do you have pets? This accumulated dust has just become a breeding ground for fungi and dust mites. This can all lead to or is linked to the aggravation of allergies and asthma. This is important to think about especially if you own a previously-owned home…did they have pets?
Clean air ducts are more efficient. This is reason enough to consider duct cleaning. Your house will heat and cool more efficiently and maybe save you on your utility bills.
How Often should Duct Cleaning be done?
This is the million dollar question. There is no real standard out there because it really depends on the conditions in your house. Knowing what your already know from above, you may want to get your air ducts cleaned quite often. Here’s your answer…Get your ducts inspected by a professional like John.

Do you own a new home? Well you might want to get your ducts inspected for accumulation of construction dust. I never thought about this, but I do know there is a lot of drywall dust left behind from builders when your move into a newly built home. Once you have your ducts cleaned or inspected after building that house of your dreams, an inspection should be done every 6-10 years.
How do I know I need Duct Cleaning?
There are a few things you may be able to do yourself. One thing you can check first is if your ducts are exposed – maybe in your basement. Then check for gaps in your ducts. Gaps will indicate unconditioned air is both entering and escaping your ducts. Check the gaps and joints for dust or dirt accumulated. This is a good indication you may have to get your ducts cleaned. This will also affect how efficiently you are heating and cooling your home. Get these gaps fixed!

You should be aware that although a substance may look like mold, a positive determination of whether it is mold or not can be made only by an expert and may require laboratory analysis for final confirmation.
