Many homeowners are on board with spring cleaning. They feel a sudden sense to get rid of all of the winter dirt and dust throughout their home. The problem? On the surface, everything looks beautifully clean. However, within their HVAC system, unless they had it cleaned it’s possible they’ll be spitting more dirt and dust back into the air. If you’re wondering if you should have your HVAC ducts cleaned, and that last sentence didn’t convince you, here are a few more questions to ask yourself.
What’s hiding in your HVAC ducts?
This might sound ominous, but hear us out. Do you have kids? Do you have pets? Or better yet, do you live in your home?
That last one might sound like we’re being facetious, but trust us: you’d be surprised what turns up within an HVAC vent. Everything from Lego bricks to Barbie’s missing shoe to even small articles of clothing can block the airflow within your vents. Cleaning will remove these obstructions and get your system back to full capacity.
Do you suffer from allergies?
Remember our question about having pets? While your feline and canine friends might not cause allergies directly, their dander can shed and make its way into your HVAC system. When combined with seasonal pollen, this makes for an overall reduced air quality.
Allergy sufferers will always benefit from an annual HVAC ductwork cleaning. It may even reduce or eliminate the headaches you experience at home.
Did you recently purchase a previously-owned home?
It’s one thing to know that your own fallen hair and pet’s dander are in your HVAC system. It’s something else to consider that it might be from a total stranger.
If you recently purchased a home from a previous owner, you will want to schedule a ductwork cleaning as soon as possible. This is akin to changing the sheets between stays in a hotel. It’s simply good hygiene and will ensure that the air you breathe is as safe and clean as possible.
Does your airflow suddenly feel less efficient?
While this question may be related to a dirty air filter, it’s also possible that your overall ductwork needs to be cleaned. There could also be some kind of blockage preventing your air from flowing properly. Worse yet, that same blockage could lead to damage to your blower motor or furnace system, which would then lead to an even larger repair
bill. In short, if you notice any problem with your airflow, it’s a good idea to have your system inspected ASAP.
