The Dirty Secret Hiding in Your Air Ducts
Did you know the HVAC ducts in a typical six-room home can collect up to 40 pounds of dust each year? This debris comes from many different sources, including dead skin cells, pet dander, pollen, hair and dust mite particles. It’s not a very pleasant thought, but we’ve got even worse news: the problem isn’t just limited to your ductwork.
Indeed, it’s not unusual for built-up dust particles to travel through your ducts and into the air you breathe every day. Needless to say, this can really take a toll on your indoor air quality. It may be trouble for your HVAC system, too, clogging up airflow and causing components to wear out prematurely.
Our Comprehensive Duct Cleaning Process
As air flows through your ductwork, it often leaves behind a blanket of dust on a variety of surfaces. Dirty vents can be cleaned easily enough, but areas deeper inside your ducts are hard to see — and even harder to reach. Clearing out these places is a job best left to your local air duct cleaning pros.
At Alabama Cooling and Heating, we have specialized tools and equipment, and experts who know how to use them. Our technicians have many years of experience, and we know what it takes to remove even the most stubborn, hard-to-reach deposits. If necessary, we also provide duct sanitation services to disinfect your system and eliminate potentially harmful organic growth.
The Benefits of Professional Air Duct Cleaning
Still not sure if having your ductwork professionally cleaned is really worth it? We get it. No one wants to spend money on dubious services that may offer little to no benefit. That’s why we only recommend air duct cleaning when we believe it’s necessary to ensure a comfortable and healthy home. Keeping your ductwork clean is especially important if someone in your family has allergies, asthma or other respiratory issues. Even for perfectly healthy people, however, periodic duct cleaning offers plenty of value:
- Cleaner, fresher air and higher indoor air quality
- More even and efficient heating and cooling
- Less wear and tear on HVAC equipment
Don’t let dirty ductwork drag down your HVAC system and ruin the indoor air quality in your home. Schedule a thorough duct cleaning at your convenience by calling the pros at Alabama Cooling and Heating.
