Health Benefits of Clean Air Ducts

Clean ducts can play a major role in your home comfort and health. All that dust settled inside—which includes dead skin, pet dander, dust mites, pollen, and other debris—can recirculate every time your furnace or air conditioner runs.

You may not notice any severe symptoms of dirty ductwork. But knowing those volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are there can make a world of difference. Scheduling that air duct cleaning every five to seven years can significantly benefit your health. You’ll notice:

Reduced allergens and allergy symptoms
Fewer illnesses

Improved air quality
Enhanced relief for asthma sufferers

How a Duct Cleaning Can Help You Save, Too

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners lose up to 40 percent of heating and cooling energy inside ductwork. That’s because when contaminants settle inside, they can build up and block air flow. This reduces efficiency, shortens your system’s lifespan, and hinders your home comfort.

Our home duct cleaning service removes that buildup and helps your system operate at peak efficiency—while minimizing lost energy. During a cleaning, our experts utilize specialized tools that wash and vacuum:

Air ducts and registers (including supplies and returns)
Grilles and diffusers

Air exchangers
Dryer vents

FAQs

Are Air Purifiers and Air Cleaners the Same Thing?

No. Air cleaners filter the air to remove contaminants such as dust and secondhand smoke. In comparison, air purifiers capture and kill airborne contaminants using negative ions or ultraviolet (UV) lights. Simply put, air cleaners filter the air, air purifiers sanitize it.

How Can I Fix the Humidity in My House?

Ideally, your home’s humidity levels should fall between 30 and 50 percent. The easiest way to balance those levels is with a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier. These systems can help ease problems associated with improper indoor humidity such as dry and itchy skin, allergies and colds, and even static electricity.

How Can I Control Excessive Dust in My House?

Excessive dust could come from dirty ductwork. That’s why we recommend having your ducts professionally cleaned every five to seven years. Installing an air purifier can also help clear excessive dust.

How Do You Fix Hot and Cold Spots Around the House?

Ductless or zoning systems are effective in keeping individual rooms or areas comfortable without wasting energy. They can be installed on almost any wall for quiet, even room temperatures. Contact us today to see if these systems are right for your home.

Should I Set My Thermostat to “On” or “Auto”?

The answer depends on what you want the fan to do. To keep energy costs down, the “auto” setting is best because it runs your fan to maintain the temperature set on your thermostat.

If you prefer a more consistent airflow and temperature, set the fan to “on”. This setting will also help keep more filtered air circulating throughout your home—which can benefit those with bad allergies or asthma.

Which Air Quality Systems Help Get Rid of Allergies?

There are several products that can help, depending on what you’re allergic to. For example, air cleaners can remove up to 95 percent of dust and pet dander in your home. Air purifiers use UV lights to kill viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, and more.
