Occasional Duct Cleanings Help Improve Air Quality

Your home’s ductwork is responsible for circulating heated and cooled air throughout your house, but that’s not the only thing it circulates. If the ducts in your Stockbridge, GA, home are dirty, polluted air gets circulated too. But here’s the good news: scheduling occasional duct cleanings can keep your home’s air cleaner, make your home more comfortable, and save you money.

Enjoy Cleaner Air

Have household members complained of fatigue, frequent headaches, and increased allergy or asthma symptoms? Congested ductwork contains more than dust and the occasional rodent droppings. Ducts have perfect conditions for spores and other harmful substances to grow. When mold spores, rodent fecal material, and excessive amounts of dust circulate throughout your home, indoor air quality suffers, and so does everyone in your household.

Feel More Comfortable in Your Home

It’s hard to feel comfortable in your home when the air makes it hard to breathe. But occasional duct cleanings do more than improve air quality. They also improve how well your home stays heated and cooled. During cleaning services, professionals check for common problems, such as gaps between seals and holes in the ductwork. These issues can restrict airflow and make it harder for your HVAC equipment to maintain your desired temperature.

Save Money

With utility costs seemingly rising constantly, it’s a good idea to conserve energy whenever possible. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to do this. You now know when your ductwork is clean, that air travels more freely. But you might not realize that this can help your HVAC system run more efficiently. It doesn’t have to work harder to produce the expected results.

With winter right around the corner, you and your family will probably spend more time indoors. If you haven’t had duct cleaning services in the last 3-5 years (or ever), schedule a cleaning to ensure the air you breathe is free of contaminants and other harmful substances.
