Why Your Air Ducts Should be Cleaned Professionally
If the air ducts in a residence or business look dirty, they probably are, and should be cleaned by a professional company. Cleaning dirty air ducts frequently reduces indoor pollution (that can cause health problems), reduces energy use and may prevent unexpected disasters, as well as costly repairs.
Importance of Air Duct Cleaning
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Dirty air ducts are a sign that contaminants have built up, which can harm air quality and health. Clean ducts reduce pollutants that circulate in the air, such as dust, chemicals, and pet dander. These contaminants can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. Regular cleaning keeps your HVAC system working properly, ensuring cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Prevent Energy Waste
Clogged ducts force your HVAC system to work harder, wasting between 25 to 40 percent of energy used for heating and cooling. A clean system runs more efficiently, lowering energy consumption and reducing electricity costs.
Protect Health from Mould and Pests
Mould growth inside ducts can release harmful spores into the air, posing health risks. If pests like rodents or insects infest the ducts, contact a pest control company for removal. Regular cleaning eliminates these risks and maintains a healthier indoor environment.
Post-Renovation Cleaning
After a renovation, dust, debris, and harmful particles like asbestos or lead paint may settle in your ducts. Cleaning them ensures these particles don’t circulate back into the home, safeguarding the health of occupants.
Seasonal Maintenance
Before heating season, clean ducts and HVAC systems to prevent risks like carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty heating systems.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Prevent Fire Hazards
Lint buildup in dryer vents restricts airflow, creating a fire risk. Regular cleaning of vents prevents fires and reduces excess humidity and dust in the home.
Boost Dryer Efficiency
A clean dryer vent allows your dryer to run more efficiently, saving energy and improving performance.
Cleaning Frequency
Air ducts and vents should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years to ensure a healthier home or business. PuroClean offers professional cleaning services, including sanitization, deodourization, and encapsulation to keep your system in top condition.
