Duct Cleaning
THE IMPORTANCE OF DUCT CLEANING
Who does not want a home that is not only clean on the outside but also completely germ, allergens, and dust-free? Every family’s home is their sanctuary and you must feel safe and comfortable there. We, at ANP Heating and AC LLC, implore our customers to regularly get their ducts cleaned because they contribute significantly to indoor air quality. While filtering, removing, and delivering air, your ducts also end up trapping dust and dirt. So, here we are to explain the importance of duct cleaning. Before we proceed further, let us understand what ductwork is.
What is Ductwork
Ductwork is the channel of pipes that runs through your home. It is responsible for moving conditioned air from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) to each room. Since it is a continuous process, it so happens that these ducts accumulate dust, debris, allergens, and even mold, further impacting the quality of the air you breathe. So, here are some of the key reasons why duct cleaning is important :
Improved Air Quality
Health and wellness stand above all and what is constantly impacting them is the air circulating through your HVAC system. A dirty duct means the air getting circulated is contaminated. This further aggravates allergic and respiratory conditions and causes multiple other problems. When you schedule regular maintenance and duct cleaning, you are saving yourself from a major health issue.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
When there is any type of trappings in any system, it is bound to operate on added load. When ducts become clogged, HVAC systems work harder to maintain the desired temperature in your home. This strain leads to reduced energy efficiency and thus higher energy bills. So, if you want to save money in the long run, make sure you get regular maintenance done.
Prolonged HVAC Lifespan
An HVAC system that is regularly cleaned and maintained is less likely to break down or malfunction. This is because the strain it experiences gets considerably reduced allowing it to run smoothly and last longer. What you save on is the cost and inconvenience of frequent repairs.
Keep Health Problems at Bay
A number of diseases are related to the quality of the air you breathe. Dirty ducts exacerbate these problems. Clean your ducts to alleviate these symptoms and create a healthy living environment free from respiratory failures, sinusitis, asthma symptoms, and pulmonary hemorrhages.
How To Know If You Have Mold in Your Duct

- Musty or mildew odor
