Why Air Duct Cleaning Is Important
Your air duct system conveys forced heat and cooling into your home. It also conveys any pollutants and debris that may be present inside your ducts. The pollutants and debris accumulation in the ducts when combined with moisture, can stick to the duct walls and become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and other micro-organisms. Breathing dust and micro-organism on a regular basis can compromise your health. Cleaning your ducts ensures that the air circulating into your home is healthy, safe, and free of pollutants.
What Is Your Cold Air Return and Why It Should Be Cleaned
The cold air return is an integral part of the home ventilation system. It’s easily identified by its large vent size, and close proximity to the furnace. Often there is more than one cold air return in a home. The cold air return draws air from the home into the furnace. Unfortunately, it also draws in all the common debris present in homes such as carpet fiber, dust and pet hair. Since the cold air return vent is the gateway to most debris and contaminants, cleaning it is an important part of the air duct cleaning.
Duct Repairs and Insulation
One of the most common sources of discomfort, poor indoor air quality, and high energy bills in the typical North American home is leaky and poorly insulated ducts. It’s a problem that is often overlooked — after all, ducts are typically behind walls.
