Do my ducts need to be cleaned?

There are several reasons you may be considering having your air ducts cleaned:
• Indoor air quality/Dust
• Moisture, mildew, or mold problems
• Improve HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & AC) efficiency
• Remedy HVAC problems
• Moving to a newly built home
• Moving to an old home
• Your home has just undergone renovations
• You looked in your vents and—wow! Dusty!
• You have children or pets in the home

We'll explore all of those reasons here:
• Indoor air quality. If your home seems to be very dusty, or if your allergies flare up frequently indoors (especially overnight), air duct cleaning is an effective way of improving your home's air quality, with lasting results. Many clients also notice that they need to dust less often after a thorough duct cleaning.

• Problems with moisture, mold, and mildew can sometimes be alleviated by duct cleaning. Contact Us for details on whether this service can help you.

• Many customers choose duct cleaning to maximize the efficiency of their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Clean ducts allow air to circulate more easily and be distributed more evenly throughout your home. Many customers report being able to use their air conditioner less in summer, and turning down their furnace in winter after their ducts have been cleaned. This results in a more comfortable home environment, and lower energy bills.

• Other ventilation issues like having a certain room, or section of your home that isn't being heated and cooled effectively might mean that there is a blockage in your ducts.

• If you have recently moved into a newly constructed home, the contractors who built it may not have been especially diligent about cleaning. Drywall dust, fibreglass dust and bits, and sawdust can be extremely harmful to your family's health, and should be removed. You can get a head-start on having a clean home with very good indoor air quality by cleaning the ducts in a newly constructed home.

• If you recently moved into an older home and you notice air quality issues, or know that the previous owners hadn't cleaned their ducts in years.

• If your home has undergone recent renovations, dust and allergens may have built up in your ductwork. When your renovations are complete, it is one of the best times to have your ducts cleaned to reverse the effects of dust from construction and improve efficiency and air quality.

• If you don't want the air in your otherwise clean home circulating through dusty air ducts, or if you—or a member of your family—have allergies, duct cleaning is your solution.

• If you have children or pets you will likely benefit from inspecting your air ducts for blockages, and more frequent cleaning will improve your air quality.
