Plenty of home-improvement projects fall by the wayside as we follow the routine of the week. While there are a couple that demand our attention, it’s usually because our home will fall into disarray if we don’t fix them immediately. Cleaning your ducts is not one of them. Sometimes this job goes unnoticed for years before a homeowner discovers something horrifically wrong with the air and decides to do something about it.

Cleaning your ducts is a comprehensive, foolproof way to ensure your family breathes clean, healthy air. It freshens your home and can even produce benefits you might not realize were possible. Here are a few reasons cleaning your ducts is beneficial – all from the friendly folks at Weeks Service Company!

It Reduces Pollutants and Increases IAQ

Since ducts are more or less out of sight, it can be hard to tell when they need work. It’s only when your home suddenly resembles a dust tornado that we realize something needs fixing. However, this doesn’t happen all at once. The factors that create these situations build up over time.

That’s where duct-cleaning comes in. Performing this job will eliminate the pollutants that reside in your ducts, which improves your home’s indoor air quality.

You’ll notice significantly cleaner air – and that especially goes for anyone in your family that may suffer from allergies.

It Also Eliminates Mold

Just like how airborne pollutants take up residence in your ducts, mold can do the same. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in a while, then moisture collects up there and becomes a fertile breeding ground for mold-producing spores.

But by cleaning your ducts, you get rid of that unwanted moisture. In addition to getting rid of the existing mold, a technician can also help you eliminate the things that led to mold growing in the first place.

It Optimizes Your HVAC System

Cleaning your ducts also has benefits that extend beyond clearing your air – although that’s a terrific thing by itself. When you schedule someone to perform this job for you, you’ll also probably notice a notable improvement in your home’s heating cycle.

When your ducts are cleaned, your furnace is able to funnel hot air through your home more efficiently. There are fewer obstructions in its way, which means it won’t have to work nearly as hard to heat your home. So, your home heats itself easier and you don’t have to pay as much in energy bills? Sounds like a win-win.
