Why Is Duct Cleaning Important Before Summer?
Air ducts can collect dirt and spread it through your home each time that you turn on your air conditioner. The AC can blow dust, dirt, and pollen into your ducts, creating a dirty, dusty, and moldy problem. At Safe House, we recommend regular duct cleaning to remove all the filth and help improve your indoor air quality while extending the useful life of your cooling system.
The air duct system has a vital impact on your health, especially, to your respiratory, which is the part of your bodily system that is directly affected. Your air duct system needs constant maintenance to keep it clean and to keep out pollutants, bacteria, and allergens. So, when do you need to clean your air duct system? The recommended frequency is about once every seven years. Here are three simple, but reasonable reasons.
Improving the Efficiency of Your Air Conditioner
Dust, dirt, pollen, and even pest droppings can reduce the energy efficiency of your air conditioning unit, as the air in your home is cleaned, cooled, and recirculated by the AC system. It is the air recirculation factor that is imperative for energy efficiency because the air that has already been cooled does not need as much cooling. Should there is a lot of filth in your air ducts and indoor air, however, it can clog your air filter.
When your air filter becomes clogged, your AC unit has to work harder to pull enough air into the system, resulting in low airflow through your vents and high energy bills. Getting your air ducts cleaned can help prevent air filter clogs and help reduce the risk of excessive wear and tear on your AC.
Removing Allergens and Improving Your Indoor Air Quality
During winter, your air duct system accumulates dust, debris, and other harmful substances. You do not have to wait for the long winter season to end before you schedule a clean-up. It is best if you could arrange a professional who will do the cleaning as winter comes. And even during winter, it is still advisable to schedule cleaning.
Extending The Lifespan of Your AC
Having your air ducts cleaned and your air conditioner regularly repaired and maintained by the Air Pros team can extend its useful life. When you have your air ducts cleaned every one to two years, you are preventing clogging issues that can cause the unit to work harder, use more electricity, and wear out faster. Combining air duct cleaning with our regular inspections and repairs helps ensure that all the components of your central air conditioner are in good working order. In addition, we can replace any excessively worn parts before they damage your AC.
