Top 6 Benefits of
AC Duct Cleaning
AC ducts, also known as ductwork, are the system of ducts that carry air from the HVAC throughout your home. AC ducts are in charge of filtering air. They ensure that the indoor air is healthy and keeps the atmosphere cozy. That’s a pretty important job! Sadly, because they work behind the scenes, they tend to be neglected. So, we have 6 points to share to give you an idea of why they should be a property maintenance priority.
DIY
Reduces molds, allergens, and bacteria
What you don’t see behind your grills could be creeping into you and your family’s health. Since AC ducts are hidden, it’s not easy to see how they’re doing on a daily. Unkept AC ducts could be harboring molds, allergens, and bacteria. If sneezing in your space has been more frequent than usual, this could be the culprit.
Helps you breathe better
The goal isn’t only for AC ducts to deliver air around your home. The goal is for AC ducts to deliver clean air around your home. When AC ducts deliver clean air around your home, it’s easier (and healthier) to breathe!
Gets rid of unpleasant smell
So you’ve cleaned your place, taken out the trash, changed all beddings, and scrubbed the floor. However, there is still a funny odor around! You probably can't find it because it is hiding… behind your AC ducts! Since unkept AC ducts can be a home for molds and debris, this can result in unpleasant odors around your home. Imagine turning your HVACs on. It cools the room, and it circulates air. However, the air it circulates has molds and debris. Uh-oh! No worries, though! Having your AC ducts cleaned by experts will solve the problem. The odd smell that has been around for a while will be gone in no time.
Increases the lifespan of ductsyour AC
Ductworks come at a hefty price. Along with the equipment, they have to be installed by experts. Though there are things we can DIY at home, replacing AC ducts is not one of them. It’s natural for owners to want their AC ducts to live as long as possible. When AC ducts are regularly cleaned, they are less likely to “get sick” and other duct issues can be spotted before it becomes a problem. Being able to address these issues will increase the lifespan of AC ducts.
Lessens the possibility of indoor air pollution
The formula is simple: clean AC ducts = clean indoor air. Indoor air pollution is the biological, chemical, or physical contamination of indoor air that may result in adverse health effects. While outdoor air is something we can’t always control, we are in the driver’s seat when it comes to indoor air. Here, we get a say on how healthy we want the atmosphere to be.
Reduces electricity bills
Excessive dirt can block airflow in AC ducts that result in poor airflow efficiency. When airflow is compromised, AC ducts tend to consume more energy. Cleaning AC ducts improve airflow, increases efficiency, and lowers energy consumption. Therefore, it reduces electricity bills. That sounds like a win-win!
