Summer in Arizona is the perfect time to do some deep cleaning of your HVAC system ducts. Were you aware that dirty air ducts can decrease the effectiveness of your home’s central heating and cooling system and reduce indoor air quality?
Duct cleaning is a great way to enhance the lifespan of your HVAC system, improve indoor air quality, and lessen the frequency of respiratory symptoms such as dry or irritated eyes, nose, throat, and skin along with sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, and headaches.
What’s Duct Cleaning All About?
Performing air duct cleaning can help decrease the amount of pollen, dust, mold spores, and other contaminants that get trapped in the numerous air ducts throughout your home. These microscopic levels of contaminants accumulate inside your house and can directly affect your family’s health and increase monthly energy bills. Air duct cleaning will reduce these levels of environmental triggers for asthma, allergies, and COPD.
In the Valley of the Sun, pests and rodents can also make themselves at home in your air ducts. Cleaning your air ducts maintains the hygiene of home and eliminates these pesky creatures.
The best way to avoid serious duct contamination is to have a qualified service provider clean the components of your duct system. Components that should be cleaned include supply and return air ducts, evaporator coils, diffusers, registers, grilles, heat exchanger coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor housing, the air handling unit housing, and other associated components. Failure to clean one or more of these components can result in re-contamination of your home. Any holes, leaky joints, or cracks will be sealed properly during servicing.
In a typical air duct cleaning, our technicians will use special tools to dislodge contaminants and debris from duct surfaces. Then, we’ll use a high-powered vacuum to remove the debris into one of our trucks. When you have your HVAC system’s air ducts cleaned, you allow the fans in the system to easily circulate clean air throughout your home.
