When the air quality inside a home is poor, it is often due to residue trapped inside air ducts. If the house has ever had a fire or water damage that might have resulted in mold, it could be inside the ducts and contaminants could be getting circulated through the home every time someone turns on the heating or air conditioning. While the average home owner cannot get inside the ducts to clean them, an HVAC Technician can. This is not a service that needs to be done routinely in most homes, but the ductwork should be checked periodically when someone in the home has respiratory problems.
It’s important to choose a reputable contractor to clean the ducts in a home. Be sure they have years of experience and the tools to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The best contractors will do a thorough assessment to determine whether the air ducts are the source of the problem before they begin their work so they won’t waste the homeowner’s money on a project they don’t need. After they’ve completed the work, they’ll clean up their mess and leave the home as neat and clean as it was when they arrived. The only difference is the air will be a lot, fresher.
Keeping a clean filter in the furnace and an air conditioner is essential to keeping the air inside a home clean. Homeowners who have furry pets or who smoke might need to change their filters more frequently to prevent dirty air from being forced back into the home through the ducts. This dirty and dusty air can exacerbate breathing problems and may even lead to respiratory trouble for people without asthma or other chronic conditions. A skilled HVAC Technician explain the problem to a family and tell them how duct cleaning services might help them solve it.
