What are the benefits of cleaning The Ducts?

 

There are many advantages that come along with Air Duct Cleaning, but these are at the top of our customers' lists.

1. Reduce the levels of dirt and debris

Throughout each year, dust, dirt, and debris will naturally find their way into the duct system in your home. It doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong — it is just part of what happens when nature meets man-made constructs.

 

2. Reduce the levels of other toxins

Mold, mildew, fungi, and germs don't need much support to take root and start developing. Under warm conditions, the growth cycle can be significantly accelerated. For certain cases, ductwork may get so infested with mold or mildew that only repair makes sense.

But if you routinely clean and repair your duct work, you will be able to prevent costly replacements while maintaining the production of contaminants at bay.

3. Reduce allergy/asthma complaints

Perhaps some family members are highly sensitive to allergies or even suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems. If you have pets in your household, the dander, hair/fur, and dust they shed will worsen current issues.

Throughout the same manner, air ducts that produce allergens are likely to intensify any current health problems because toxin-filled air circulates in the house. Air Vent Cleaning service in Kamloops will reduce sick days, medical costs, personal sickness and pain, and more.

4. Prolong the life of the HVAC machine

The more dirty your ductwork system becomes, the harder your HVAC unit has to work to push air through the ducts, keeping it circulating evenly throughout your home. As mentioned earlier, you will risk having to repair contaminated ducts if you do not clean them as needed. Your HVAC system motor will suffer less wear and tear if its work is made easier by clean ducts.

But more critically for your family's income, routine preventative repair is less costly by far than having to upgrade the HVAC machine prematurely.

5. Save on annual power prices

Whether the presence of mud, garbage, insects, or contaminants is making the HVAC machine to work harder than it was intended to operate, this would also force the device to use extra power to keep doing its job. This cycle will push up your monthly energy costs, particularly in temperature extremes of heat and cold.

If you are seeing an upward trend in your energy consumption and your monthly bill, polluted air ducts may be the cause.

6. Ensure your home is safe

Every year several homes catch fire because of debris that has accumulated in duct work. This horrific scenario can be avoided by merely ensuring your home's ducts are cleaned and repaired as appropriate.

Risk increases exponentially if you have an older HVAC unit and use propane or other fuels to power the heater, grill, fireplace or portable heating systems. If debris comes into contact with both of these items, fire risk increases accordingly. Simple air duct cleaning will significantly minimize the risk and test the home for any other fire-related HVAC hazards. And if you have had your carpeting, upholstery, and/or draperies cleaned thoroughly with Carpet Cleaning service in Kamloops, having your air duct system cleaned is a wonderful addition to maintain indoor air quality.
