Dust, dirt, and grime, as commercial cleaners, we know how to get rid of them for you. So when you hire our team to clean your home or business, you can trust that when we leave, it will be sparkling clean…until you turn on the air. Once the air begins to flow through your air ducts, it’s blowing dirt, pollen, human skin cell, dust mites, feces, and more all over your home and business, which is why you need to schedule regular air duct, HVAC, and dryer vent cleaning.
The air ducts in your home or business run throughout the whole property, and over time they start to get full of all these nasty microscopic germs that go everywhere once the air gets turned on. So how can you prevent this? By scheduling seasonal cleaning for your air ducts and HVAC system. Here’s how it can help.
- Cleaning helps reduce allergy symptoms. If you suffer from constant sneezing, itchy skin, colds, a runny nose, or other allergy symptoms, you may be allergic to some of the allergens that build up in your air duct system and get blown out when you turn it on. Regular cleaning at least twice a year by a professional team can reduce this build-up and allergy flare-ups for you and your employees.
- Cleaning helps protect your HVAC system. The dirt and debris that builds up in your air ducts, HVAC, and dryer vents will eventually affect your system’s efficiency. We see this a lot with clogged dryer vents. For example, dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year, or lint will start to clog up the vent. When that happens, it can make your dryer less efficient, so it takes longer for your clothes to dry. Similar efficiency issues can affect your HVAC and air duct systems if left uncleaned for too long.
- Cleaning improves the air quality. If you’re concerned about indoor air pollution, clean your HVAC systems. They can be a significant source of indoor air contamination when cleaning is left for too long. When you get your system cleaned, all the build-up is removed, and your air will be cleaner. As a bonus, you’ll have less dusting to do too!
- Cleaning reduces your fire risk. Did you know that unmaintained dryer vents are a considerable fire risk? All that dust, dirt, and lint that builds up in the duct is very flammable, and it’s a leading cause of home fires in the United States. If you use a dryer in your home or business, ensure you get your dryer vents cleaned as part of your HVAC and air duct cleaning at least once a year or more!
- Cleaning protects your ceilings. Do you have mysterious black stains on your ceilings? They might be soot from your clogged air ducts! Regular cleaning of your air duct system can prevent these unsightly stains from forming on your ceilings where your customers and employees can see them!
Your HVAC and air duct system should be cleaned regularly. We often recommend more seasonal cleanings in the fall before you use your furnace throughout the winter and in the spring when you turn your furnace off. But depending on your system and building usage, you may require more regular cleanings. Give our team a call to find out what would be best to maintain your system’s efficiency and clean your air ducts. Then, we can inspect your system and provide cleaning recommendations!
