To help keep the best quality of air in your home, you will want to make sure that the system is maintained and inspected on a regular basis. Along with this, also remember to have the ductwork inspected. By having the ductwork inspected, you will be able to notice any gaps or cracks that it might have. This can cause air to leak out over time, leading to higher monthly heating bills. The ductwork will also have to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This will help improve the air efficiency in your home. If you are unsure when the ductwork should be inspected or cleaned, make sure to contact us and we can inspect it for you.

Better Air Quality is Improved

With time contaminants can collect and pile up in the ductwork. Along with this, there can be traces of insects and rodents. If you have pets in your home, the fur and dander from them can collect in the ductwork system as well. When the furnace operates, the air will blow through the ductwork and past these pollutants. It will then blow some of these particles back into your home where you will breathe them. When the air ducts are cleaned, the air will move them and be distributed throughout your home without the contaminants in it. This can make for a more enjoyable and comfortable home to live in.

Improving the Efficiency of the unit

When you have the ductwork cleaned, you can also increase the efficiency of the HVAC unit. This is because there will be more space to have the air move through the ductwork. Having a build up of dirt and dust will reduce the airflow when it operates. This will reduce the amount of air that is distributed in each room. The furnace will then need to work harder and longer to get the home to the desired temperature. This will wear down parts and components for the HVAC unit. Having the furnace operate longer than it should, can be costly in repair bills, as well as energy bills.

Knowing when it is Time for Ductwork Cleaning

Depending on your family and lifestyle, we can help recommend when a ductwork cleaning would be needed. Typically, the ductwork should be cleaned every three years if you have a pet. If you do not, then every five years is the average. Other things to consider would be if anyone if the home smokes or how active the home is. By contacting us, we can advise you on the appropriate schedule for your home. This can help make the air quality better to breathe and enjoy. We can also help to reduce the monthly energy costs, as well as any unnecessary repairs for the furnace. Having the ductwork cleaned can benefit you each and every year.
