What Might be Hiding in Your Air Ducts?
Air ducts play an essential role in your house by keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the colder months. Neglected air ducts can accumulate several types of debris and circulate those particles throughout your home. This build-up affects the comfort level in your home, your heating and cooling bill, and your health.
Dust
As sure as the sun sets in the west, there will be dust in your house. Even though you might dust daily, you push that dust into the air to be collected by the air ducts. Dust trapped in your home’s air ducts can include any combination of:
- pet hair
- carpet fibers
- skin cells
- pollen
- outdoor material from your shoes
Too much dust in your air ducts could also be a safety hazard. Dust and lint trapped in air ducts could ignite when warmed, sparking a fire in your house.
Our high-quality HVAC air filters will catch most of this dust, but our technicians can clean the dust that gets through quickly and efficiently. This thorough cleaning will also help to keep your house a little less dusty. And who doesn’t want that?
Mold
Are you noticing an odd musty smell in your house or spores and black dots around your air vents? If the answer is yes, then, unfortunately, you probably have mold growing in your air ducts.
Mold lives in dark, damp places, making your air ducts an ideal spot for mold spores to make a home. Air ducts never thoroughly dry out and collect moisture from rain and humidity, making an excellent growing spot.
Mold can be very harmful and even deadly to humans if not removed. Breathing in mold spores can cause allergy-like symptoms, including:
- Congestion
- Sneezing
- Coughing
- Headaches
- Watery or itchy eyes
- Respiratory issues
If you see, smell, or suspect mold in your vents, call our trusted expert cleaners to diagnose and clean your air ducts.
Pests
Do you sometimes hear sounds inside your walls like nibbling or scampering? Or maybe there is a peculiar ammonia-type scent that has you unsure. No, you are not starring in a horror movie; you probably have pests in your air ducts.
Small rodents, mice, spiders, and cockroaches love small places and can make their way into your home’s air ducts, wreaking havoc and chewing through the material. These pests can also cause health issues, such as allergies or Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
Regular maintenance of your home’s HVAC system thoroughly inspects the ductwork, ensuring pests haven’t made their way through any minor cracks. Our technicians can expertly recommend the safest way to remove the pests and provide a thorough air duct cleaning.
Building and Outdoor Debris
Sometimes building and outdoor materials such as leaves, dirt, and construction materials such as sawdust and fibers can accumulate in your air ducts.
Not only can these materials significantly reduce the airflow with a blockage, but they can damage your air ducts and possibly require replacement.
Over time this blockage can significantly diminish the life of your HVAC system overall and lower its performance. Having our technicians remove the debris and clean your air ducts can guarantee that your HVAC system keeps operating at its finest.
Allergens
Are you noticing that you sneeze more often or have headaches more repeatedly? Are your allergy symptoms worse indoors than they are outdoors? There might be allergens hiding in your air ducts.
With indoor and outdoor air circulating throughout your home, allergens like pet dander and pollen can latch on to clothing, then spread throughout your home and collect in the air ducts. Since your HVAC system recirculates the air in your home and most indoor allergens are airborne, air ducts end up housing many of these allergens and sending them out into your home.
A thorough cleaning of your air vents can help reduce allergy and asthma symptoms and the number of allergens in the home and improve air quality.
