Why You Should Clean Your Air Ducts
Cleaning air ducts has many benefits. Accumulations of dust, dirt, etc. are found in all homes with air ducts. Other factors that may increase the need to clean your air ducts include pets, smoking, and home renovation projects. You should consider cleaning ducts more often if any of the home occupants have allergies or asthma. Cleaning your air ducts can also make your HVAC system more efficient, resulting in reduced energy consumption and saving you money.
Dust & Dirt
Dust and dirt builds up in a home overtime. If you don’t clean your HVAC it will start to build up in the ducts and block your filter reducing air quality.
Pets & Smoke
Pets have dander and shed hair that gets into the vents and clog your HVAC filter over time.
After long periods of smoking, the residue can build up in your vents.
Mold, Bacteria & Viruses
Cleaning and disinfecting your ductwork will help kill harmful viruses, bacteria, and mold that cause serious health problems. We use all natural, botanically-based disinfectants that are safe for humans and pets
Home Renovation Projects
Home renovation projects are great for increasing home value, but it also creates dust, and other airborne particulates that get trapped in the HVAC and filter that should be cleaned afterwards.

The Effects of Air Quality
It is essential to have high quality, clean indoor air that is free of pollutants. This is critical for your household to maintain good health. On average people spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors. Breathing fresh air indoors can reduce health issues such as asthma, headache, irritation of the eyes, fatigue, nausea and long term health effects including respiratory disease. Even if no one in your house suffers from specific conditions such as asthma or chronic allergies, you may notice a significant improvement in mild symptoms like sneezing and coughing. Disinfecting the whole system will kill viruses, bacteria, and fungal growths like mold. A healthier indoor environment will benefit your family by helping everyone breathe easier.
What To Do After Your Ducts Are Cleaned
We recommend regular maintenance and vent cleaning every four to five years by a professional, depending on the contaminants in the home. However, once you have had your ducts cleaned, there are many things you can do regularly to prevent the build-up of pollutants.
Prevent mold and mildew by ensuring your home has sufficient ventilation and track the humidity level in your home. In a typical environment, the humidity level should no higher than 50%. If you live in a wet climate, you may need to use a dehumidifier.
Reduce Pet Dander by cleaning surfaces that collect pet hair and dirt regularly. Eliminating per dander is almost impossible- but cleaning furniture and carpets regularly will be a quick fix for ensuring less pet hair and dander gets into the air and the HVAC system.
Changing your air filters at the beginning of each season will ensure that your family is breathing clean, healthy fresh air. The air filter works by trapping pollutants such as smoke, pollen, dander and dust mites in a fine mesh, which prevents particles from throughout your home.
During seasons where pollen is prevalent, keep the windows and doors in your home closed.
Regularly clean all surfaces in your home including bedding, drapes, pillows, bathroom towels and always use the vent hood over your stove to remove cooking contaminants and clean the hood after each use.
