What you don’t know can’t hurt you, right? Ha! That’s perhaps one of the dumbest, most untrue statement of all time. We’re confident you know that from your own personal experience.
At the same time, your list of things than CAN or can’t hurt you – visible or not – is no doubt incomplete, so allow us to add just one more: dirty air ducts.
Have you ever had occasion to look inside yours? Well, trust us, it’s like inside a dryer hose vent that hasn’t been cleaned in as long as you can remember – absolutely caked with dirt, dust, and other debris.
Here’s more about the potential impact of dirty air ducts:
- Save Money
The cleaner the inside of your ducts, the less you’ll spend to heat or cool your home. bills.
- Improved Air Quality
Dust, air contaminants, and toxic substances such as mold and bacteria get trapped inside your air ducts and then blown into your living spaces while your AC of forced air heating system fan is engaged. All those airborne pollutants can wreak havoc with allergies, asthma, and other upper respiratory ailments.
- Longer Equipment Life
About 9 of 10 heating and AC systems malfunction or fail from the lack of regular preventive maintenance and duct cleaning. Clogged ducts force your system to work harder to deliver the kind of indoor comfort you want, and that leads to premature repair work and shortened equipment life.
- Odor Elimination
Over time, all that trapped “stuff” inside your ducts is going to stink, and the stink will invade your living spaces. Regular duct cleaning (every 3 to 4 years) helps eliminate the problem.
- Alleviate Excessive Household Dust
If your home is dustier than normal, or you find yourself changing air filters more than usual, it may be a good time to have your ducts cleaned. This is especially true if you have done any major cleaning, remodeling, or other work that tends to generate dust.
