Is It Time to Schedule a Duct Cleaning Service?

Often, homeowners overlook air ducts because they are beneath your walls. Over time, they can accumulate dirt, dust and other debris. Having them cleaned regularly is essential to the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system. 

Read on to find out if it’s time to schedule a duct cleaning service. 

More Frequent Allergy Attacks

Do you have allergies? If so, have you noticed that you’ve been experiencing more symptoms lately? Your ducts could be the culprit behind your allergy attacks. When dirty, they could circulate dirt, dust and other allergens to your living space. Besides having your ducts cleaned, it will also help to invest in an air purifier to improve indoor air quality. 

Increased Energy Bills

You know it’s time to contact your local air condition service provider if you have increasing energy bills. Debris buildup in the ducts will cause your heating and cooling equipment to work harder than it should. The more effort it exerts to meet your desired temperature, the more electricity it consumes. It’s a good idea to have your air ducts checked and cleaned if you’ve been finding it difficult to keep your spaces comfortable lately and your energy bills are rising.

Dirty Vents

When you turn on your HVAC system, do you see obvious dust blowing from your vents and ducts? Clean air ducts will not produce apparent dirt or dust when you switch on your equipment. Visible dust is a sure sign your ducts require professional cleaning. 

Poor Odor From Ducts

Is there a bad odor in your home, but you can’t locate where it’s coming from in your property? It could be from your dirty ducts. Go near air registers to confirm if the smell is coming from the duct system. Contact your technician immediately because weird odors could also indicate other HVAC issues.
