Why Should You Clean Your Air Vents?

There are several reasons it’s essential to clean your air ducts. Things can build up over time and cause damage to your health, and your furnace, if the passages are not cleaned regularly every few years. Below are a few reasons why it’s important to maintain your air ducts.

  • Air Pollution

This issue is something we commonly associate with the outdoors. Did you know air pollution occurs in our homes and business as well? Air ducts are the primary source of circulation for the air within. Over time, pipes can become clogged with dust, bacteria, rodents, and other pests which pollute the air we breathe. It’s necessary to maintain your air ducts to ensure the air inside your home remains as pure as possible and free of harmful debris that isn’t noticeable to the naked eye.

  • Pests and Rodents

Pests and rodents, such as bugs and mice, can find their way into your air ducts and become trapped. When they can’t find their way out or get to a food source, they starve to death and decompose in your ducts. Then, you breathe in all that bacteria via your heat or air.

  • Leaks

Your air ducts can get leaks in them over time. When you clean your air ducts, holes can be found and sealed, preventing your cold air and heat from escaping.

  • Energy Efficient

By ensuring that the leaks in your air ducts are sealed, you spend less money on your power or gas bill each month.

How Air Ducts Get Clogged

The air inside your home cycles through your filter into your ducts. Your air filters are in place to trap as much dust as possible. If it’s not cleaned on a regular basis, dirt still winds up in your air ducts and continues to be pumped back out through your air conditioning or heat system. If the area around your vents and your air filter is not clean, it will pick up dirt and dust excessively.

What You Can Do

In addition to having your air ducts cleaned every three to five years, there are some things you can do on a regular basis to prohibit dirt, dust, and bacteria from entering and circulating in your home.

  • Change Your Filter

Keeping your filter changed based on the manufacturer’s warranty aids in the prevention of dirt and debris getting into your ducts and essentially makes your home healthier.

  • Vacuum/Sweep Regularly

Keeping the area around your filter and vents clean is crucial. Vacuum your carpet and sweep and mop your floors on a regular basis. If you maintain a clean home, your ducts will stay cleaner much longer.

  • Get Your Floors Professionally Cleaned

Getting your floors professionally cleaned now and then can contribute to the maintenance of healthy air ducts.

The air inside your home is vital to keeping your house clean and your health in good shape. It can be easy to put the cleaning of your air ducts on the back burner, but it’s ideal to have them professionally cleaned every few years. If it’s time to clean yours, call A1 Cleaning today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Air duct cleaning is often seen as a necessary evil – something that needs to be done in order to keep your home clean and comfortable. However, there is some debate about whether or not air duct cleaning is actually effective, or if it’s just a waste of money.

So, what’s the verdict? Is air duct cleaning worth the time and money? Let’s take a closer look.

Air ducts can become dirty over time, due to factors like dust, pollen, and pet hair. When air ducts are filled with dirt and debris, they can start to circulate these contaminants throughout your home, which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems.

Regular air duct cleaning can help to remove these contaminants from your home making your air cleaner to breathe.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on a number of factors, including the type of air ducts you have, the environment they are in, and how often they are used. However, it is generally recommended that air ducts be cleaned every three to five years.

No, air duct cleaning and furnace cleaning are not the same. Furnace cleaning is a process of removing all the dirt, dust, and debris from the inside of your furnace. Air duct cleaning is a process of removing all the dirt, dust, and debris from your air ducts.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends air ducts should be cleaned every three to five years. However, there are a few signs that may indicate it’s time for a cleaning sooner:

-There is visible mold growth inside the air ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.

-Your air ducts are infested with vermin, such as rodents or insects.

-You notice that your allergies or asthma symptoms worsen when you’re at home.

-Your heating and cooling system is not working as efficiently as it used to.

If any of these apply to you, it’s time to call in a professional air duct cleaning service.
