What is Duct Cleaning?
Duct cleaning is the process of having a trained service technician come by and use tools such as brushes or a special vacuum to clear dust and debris from your ductwork. This may sound like something anyone can do but it is actually very important that this be done by a professional as someone who is untrained runs the risk of damaging their ductwork.
What Role it Plays in HVAC System Care
So you may be wondering, “Why should I bother with duct cleaning? I can just dust a bit more often and the issue gets resolved right?”
Actually no. When there is a build-up of dust on your furniture and surfaces around your home, this is actually a sign that duct cleaning most definitely needs to be done because even your filters have become overloaded. What’s more, ductwork that is clogged with dust and debris can impact the efficiency of your HVAC system’s operation.
Your ductwork is the delivery system for the air that is heated and blown into your home. While there are filters that help to capture a large amount of the debris from the air being heated, they won’t catch everything. The dust and contaminants that are able to get through settle throughout your ductwork and eventually build-up in your ducts. When this build-up becomes bad enough, it can affect the airflow throughout your house, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and increasing the level of wear and tear it goes through. Ultimately this can lead to increased repairs and even an early replacement.
In short, dirty ducts cost you a lot more cash.
Duct cleaning helps by getting all of the build-up out of your ducts and leaving those pathways free and clear for air to flow through.
