Duct Cleaning in Albany

Keep Your Albany Home Healthy with Air Duct Cleaning

Your heating and cooling system is like a central organ in your body—your lungs. It’s like a breathing machine for your home, pulling air in and out.

But your home’s lungs may be taking in dirty air, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In some instances, your Albany home’s indoor air quality could be worse than outdoors.

Your HVAC system can collect contaminants such as mold. And these particles can be recirculated across your home as much as five to seven times a day. This can cause health problems, especially if one of your family members is affected by allergies or asthma.

Freshen up your ducts with HVAC cleaning services from Roland J. Down Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. You’ll breathe easier knowing all our quality cleaning work are backed by a one-year, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

Our knowledgeable, NATE-certified professionals will inspect and clean parts such as:

Grilles and diffusers

Not only can duct cleaning help decrease allergy symptoms, it could make your HVAC system run more efficiently. A clean system is less likely to break down and may even last longer.

Signs You Need to Schedule Duct Cleaning Service
How do you recognize when you need an air duct cleaning? The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends doing it every three to five years.

The organization has an easy rule of thumb—if your vent system appears dirty, it probably is.

Although much of the ductwork in your home is obscured, you can see the supply and return vents. Are they dusty? Lift off a vent cover and inspect the ductwork. Is the metal coated in dust?

Here are a few other clues you’re overdue for an extensive cleaning:

Mold has been found in your furnace, air conditioner, heat pump or air handler.

Vents emit dust when your heat or air conditioning switches on.

Dust, dirt or pet hair is trapped in vents.

Your home is very dusty despite constant cleaning.

Your home is newly built, underwent a major remodel or had water damage.

Heating and cooling expenses are increasing despite thermostat settings remaining the same.
How to Keep Your Air Ducts Clean
After Roland J. Down Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning cleans your air ducts, the EPA has several steps you can follow to keep your HVAC system clean.

Use the highest-efficiency air filter recommended for your system.

Swap out your air filter regularly.

Ask your HVAC tech to clean the coils and drain pan during seasonal service.

Dust and vacuum your home weekly.

Immediately mend leaks and water damage.

Roland J. Down Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can also help determine whether your ducts are accurately sealed and insulated, specifically in an attic or crawl space. Appropriately sealed ducts keep water out of your system.
