Here are a few reasons why you should schedule your air duct cleaning today.
Improve Indoor Air Quality and Your Health
There’s a reason you might feel like you’re constantly cleaning up dust in your home: The average home accumulates up to 40 pounds of dust per year. Everything from pet hair and pollen to dead skin and debris from outside can make it inside your ductwork and be recirculated into your home.
If left untreated, uncleaned ducts can lead to dust mites and bacteria that can threaten your family’s health. In fact, indoor air pollutants can be especially harmful to individuals with asthma and other conditions that affect breathing.
Dirty ducts can also accumulate moisture, especially in humid climates such as Texas. Mold spores can grow as a result of dampened ducts and cause serious health effects, particularly in children. Per the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, around 47% of homes in the United States contain mold.
Boost Your Energy Efficiency
Air ducts require proper ventilation in order for air to pass through. Dirty or clogged ducts mean your HVAC system has to work harder, and this can significantly reduce its energy efficiency. Relatedly, you could notice hot or cold spots in certain areas of your home. This is a result of uneven heating and cooling, which is another consequence of air ducts being unable to maintain proper airflow.
Unfortunately, you stand to pay more in energy bills as a home owner when your air ducts can’t work properly or efficiently. Additionally, your HVAC system could experience more wear and tear as a result of clogged ducts, which may mean higher maintenance costs.
Keep Your Home Safe
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 40,000 house fires occur annually due to heating and cooling systems. The most common cause is an electrical failure within the HVAC system, but dirty or clogged air ducts can contain flammable material that makes it easier for fires to spread. In the case where a fire does break out in your home, having properly ventilated ducts can keep air flowing and give you critical time to evacuate.
