Duct Cleaning….Why?

WHY SHOULD AIR DUCTS BE CLEANED?
Dirty air ducts are a major source of indoor air pollution. Your air duct system is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, and other health threatening organisms. Dust mites don’t typically live and breed in the ducts themselves. However, dirty air ducts distribute the primary food source for dust mites — dust.

WILL MY HOUSE BE LESS DUSTY AFTER YOU CLEAN THE AIR DUCTS?
Yes, the inside of your ductwork is the equivalent of an extra room in your home that never gets dusted or vacuumed. When the furnace or air conditioner blower fan turns on, dust from the ductwork becomes airborne and distributed into the rooms of your home.

WILL AIR DUCT CLEANING HELP MY ALLERGIES?
Many people are allergic to dust mite waste. Dust mites feed on debris found in ductwork. Remove the debris and you remove their food. Also, by greatly reducing particulate debris in your ducts, there are less dust particles and potential allergens in the air to aggravate those with respiratory illnesses.

I LIVE IN A NEWER HOME.  DO I STILL AIR DUCTS CLEANED?
Very possibly!  Up to 50% of air duct system cleaning is done in homes that are less than five years old.  During new home construction, the ductwork is exposed and the furnace is running many times without a filter.  During this time, construction debris such as pieces of plaster, drywall, wood, dust, insects and insulation, are accumulated in the ductwork.  keep this in mind as well, industry standards advise HVAC/Air Duct systems be professionally cleaned every 5 years.
 
HOW CAN I BE SURE MY AIR DUCTS NEED TO BE CLEANED?
