Do I need to have my ducts cleaned?
Are you wondering if you need to schedule a duct cleaning service? Here are a few indications that you do:
People and pets are getting sick more often
Dust is accumulating faster on your furniture
You suspect you have a pest problem
It’s been more than a year since your last duct cleaning
Regular deep cleaning of your home’s air ducts should be part of your general HVAC maintenance. Not only does the accumulation of dirt circulate in your home – including spreading mold spores, but it also builds up in the furnace, heat pump, and air conditioner. This, in turn, causes more friction on the appliance’s moving parts which can make them wear out faster. So, not only will regular air duct cleaning keep your home cleaner and smelling nicer, but it will also extend the life of your heating and cooling system!
