Most of us are not aware of the various health hazards that lurk around in the HVAC system of our homes. Over time, with regular use, various contaminants such as dust, dirt, mold, and microbes get accumulated in the ducts. To keep the inside air from getting contaminated, it is important that you have a professional HVAC company conduct regular cleaning of the ducts and vents of your HVAC system. Usually, it is suggested that the cleaning work should be undertaken every 2-3 years, however, you may have to clean the ducts more frequently for a number of different reasons. For example, if you have pets have home, family members who have have allergies, your house has just undergone renovation, or the house has just been occupied. Cleaning of air ducts and vents not only offers several health benefits, it also translates into energy savings and lower electricity bills. Here are some benefits of getting your HVAC ducts and vents cleaned regularly: Prevents allergies: Can you believe that the number of allergens in the indoor air is much higher than in the outside air? The air that we breathe in is recycled air, and as the system sucks in air, it also sucks in dust, mold, and pet fur. So, the same allergens get circulated in the air that you breathe. Cleaning of the ducts can rid the air of these allergens. Promotes respiratory health: One of the major health benefits of air duct cleaning is that it prevents respiratory problems such as runny or stuffy nose, difficulty in breathing, hay fever and allergies. Poor quality air from dirty ducts can lead to upper respiratory diseases and may exaggerate conditions such as asthma. Odor-free home: All the odorous elements such as cigarette smoke, mildew, and pet dander gets sucked into ducts, and causes the entire home to stink. Regular cleaning of ducts can keep your home odor-free. Clean home: If you have ever experienced that your home gets dusty quite fast even after you have cleaned it, it may mean that your ducts are dirty. So, if you want to keep your house dust-free, you should keep the ducts clean. Energy savings and HVAC system efficiency: Dirty ducts mean that the air does not get circulated properly, and the system does not work efficiently. The system has to work harder, and it consumes a lot more energy. Clean ducts can help the system to work efficiently, and reduce the power bills considerably.
