The right time to have your air ducts cleaned
You may have already been asked this question, “When should you get your air ducts and dryer vents cleaned?” There are many debates concerning this inquiry but some experts say that you need to get yours cleaned by an approximate time of once every three to five years. However, there are still others that say that when the conditions are present (e.g. house remodeling, purchasing/renting out a new office space). Getting a home or office’s air passageways (and all other components) cleaned is a vital part to maintaining clean indoor air. Families and other residents should take a closer look at what is “living” inside their ducts.
When air vents, dryer vents, and HVAC systems become dirty and contaminated with polluted organisms such as mold, bacteria, and other allergens, indoor air quality becomes greatly compromised. People who suffer from allergies from pet dander, dust, pollen, and other allergens will greatly improve their symptoms by getting a professional service to clean their air ducts.
Even if there are no scientific evidence that getting HVAC systems cleaned and maintained will improve a person’s health, there are studies that having dirty and contaminated air ducts will, in fact, aggravate a variety of health conditions.
Getting professional air duct cleaning services
Choosing the right company that will handle the job is also vital to getting good indoor air quality. It is important to make sure that said company will be able to clean the various HVAC components within your home or office space that may include air vents, drain pans, coils, and blowers. When the professionals are “done” with their job, make sure you make a quick look if they are indeed “done” with their job. Any underlying evidence of dirt and mold pose a risk of re-contaminating the entire system.
Things to consider before having your ducts cleaned by professional services
Here are some questions to ask yourself prior to acquiring the services of a company who will handle duct cleaning for you.
- Have you had your HVAC systems checked for mold growth?
- Is there a visible build-up of dirt, mold, or other pollutants inside the ductwork?
- Was there recent construction work at your home or office?
- Have you recently moved into a new residential or office space?
Before letting the cleaners do their work inside your home or office, make sure that they are properly licensed, and abide to local laws and regulations.
