Why You Should Have Duct Cleaning Done in Your Home 

Keeping your home clean can be tough sometimes. Whether it’s keeping it clean for your own sanity or cleaning up before guests arrive, cleanliness is important for a variety of health reasons. The same can be said for having duct cleaning performed. After all, duct systems handle all of the air that gets sent throughout our homes, likely providing less than clean air if they aren’t properly, and routinely, cleaned. 

The nice thing about duct cleaning is that it’s a basic task to take on and is almost a no-brainer to add on to your next heating and cooling tune-up. 

Here’s the down and dirty about duct systems to help make it a little easier to understand: 

• Nearly all of the air in your home comes through the ducts as part of your heating and cooling system. Going on the sheer volume of air those ducts deal with, they can get dirty with microbes, mildew and bacteria, as well as dust and dirt. 
• Duct cleaning includes the cleaning of a number of system components, from the air supply and return air ducts, to the registers, grilles and diffusers. It handles the entire duct system. 

• Over time, it could become necessary to also have duct sealing performed, as ductwork can separate and cause air leaks. Those air leaks can lead to a great deal of money wasted because your system is having to work hard only to heat and cool attics and interior walls. Plus, those holes can also lead to contaminants being sent throughout your home.
