| Why does ductwork need cleaning? If the air ducts in your home have never been cleaned, you could be breathing dirt and debris from years of build up. Mold, mildew, dust mites, pollen, animal dander, and other pollutants can be trapped inside the ductwork of your home! This isn't simply a nuisance: It is unhealthy. Air flow restrictions from dirty ducts are also increasing your utility bills!

Health Benefits from Duct Cleaning: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and very small particles of dust. The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system and home should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality. Reducing Energy Bills: Research by the U.S. EPA has demonstrated that HVAC system cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by removing debris from sensitive mechanical components. Clean, efficient systems are less likely to break down, have a longer life span, and generally operate more effectively than dirty systems. How Cleaning Should be Performed: The most effective way to clean air ducts and ventilation systems is to employ Source Removal methods of cleaning. This requires a contractor to place the system under negative pressure, through the use of a specialized, powerful vacuum. While the vacuum draws air through the system, devices are inserted into the ducts to dislodge any debris that might be stuck to interior surfaces. The debris can then travel down the ducts to the vacuum, which removes it from the system and the home. |
