Are there health benefits from cleaning your air ducts?
Your air ducts can collect a variety of contaminants that can affect your overall health. For all the details, check out our informative FAQ section below where you’ll find answers to this and many other interesting frequently asked questions.
Is DIY indoor air quality testing a good idea?
While it is possible to run such tests, they are much less reliable than the professional ones. This is not only because of the tools used, but also because the typical homeowner is not well aware of the procedures that take place. For instance, you have to ask yourself whether you are competent enough to compare mold found in your house to a set of samples.
Is it true that dirty air ducts increase my energy consumption costs?
Yes. The more build-up of dust and other contaminants that your air ducts suffer from, the less efficient they will be. Bogged down with accumulated dirt, dust, and other such contaminants, your ducts will work overtime trying to reach and maintain your preferred temperature, which will ultimately lead to a higher electric bill.
Will switching my vents off help me save energy?
If you are absolutely certain that there are no leaks in your system, trying to save power by only using your vents when absolutely necessary may not be as effective as you’d think. Vents must work harder to reach a consistent temperature throughout the home than they do simply to maintain it. But if your system is underperforming significantly while still using lots of power, then perhaps it is necessary to conduct an air duct maintenance session.
How can I protect my HVAC air ducts from dust and pollen?
Regular home cleaning is an effective measure that you cannot go without. You must not forget to vacuum the HVAC registers from both sides. The use of an air filter with high efficiency is also important and so is its frequent changing, following the schedule recommended by the manufacturer. You should also opt for air duct cleaning once or twice a year.
