How Duct Cleaning Affects Your HVAC System

Often ignored, the circuit of ductwork plays an important role in the level of comfort achieved in your home. Dirty or clogged air ducts may affect your electric bill, your HVAC’s system efficiency, as well as your family’s health.
Here are a couple of important reasons why you should have duct cleaning and inspection performed.

Improves efficiency of your Colorado HVAC system

Every time your HVAC system operates, dirt, dust, pet dander and other contaminants are pulled into your system. If significant amounts of dust or debris accumulates in your ductwork, airflow becomes restricted. In this case, your HVAC unit has to work harder to move air throughout your home.

Accumulated dirt and debris can reduce efficiency of your HVAC system by as much as 21%. It can also cause it to wear out faster. Having the ductwork cleaned allows the system to run more efficiently and prevent break downs; therefore, preventing costly repairs. It also helps extend the life of your equipment.

Improves indoor air quality

Dust, dirt, mold and other debris sitting in your home’s ductwork can have a profound effect on your family’s health. These contaminants are blown throughout your home and are inhaled by you and your family. This can cause allergies and trigger asthma attacks. When constantly exposed to indoor allergens, even people without any known allergies can start experiencing nasal congestion, sore throat, itchy eyes and difficulty of breathing.

Duct cleaning in Colorado can enhance indoor air quality by limiting the circulation of dirt, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and other potential allergens. If you are dealing with poor indoor air quality and need help making it better, having your air ducts cleaned can make a big difference.
