Your furnace and your air conditioner or heat pump are essential, it’s true. But they wouldn’t be able to heat and cool your home at all if it wasn’t for the unsung hero of the HVAC system: your ductwork. Day in and day out, all year long, your ducts are getting the hot or cold air to your vents so your whole home will stay at an even, comfortable temperature.
Since the ducts are out of sight, they’re often out of mind. But they need some love on occasion, just like the rest of your HVAC system! What kind of services do your ducts need? What are the benefits of maintenance for your ductwork? We’ve got a rundown for you. We’d love to talk with you about your home, your ducts, and your indoor air quality in Akron, OH, so we can help you breathe easy all year long.
Duct Cleaning
While anyone could take off a vent cover and bang a broom around inside their ductwork, we strongly advise that you leave this process to the professionals! We’ve got the tools, training, and experience to get the ducts meticulously clean without risking any damage to the system.
Duct cleaning should be done every few years, or more often if you have allergies, heavily shedding pets, or other sources of excess dust. You should also schedule a duct cleaning if you smell anything odd or unpleasant coming from your vents, such as mildew, rot, or sourness. It’s all too common for a small amount of moisture in ducts to result in mold, pests, or bacterial growth.
Duct Sanitizing
In addition to removing dusty buildup, qualified technicians can sanitize the inside of ductwork. While there’s negative pressure in the duct system, sucking inward, a sanitizing agent is applied. This will neutralize bacteria, viruses, allergens, mold spores, and other unpleasant pathogens inside the ducts. That’s a whole different level of clean!
Blower Wheel Cleaning
This oft-neglected component of your HVAC system can get caked with fine, silty dust, pet hair, and more. The blower wheel assembly needs to be taken apart by a skilled technician in order to be thoroughly cleaned. Again, this should be done every few years, or more often in the case of issues with allergens, pet hair, or excess dust.
Air Purifiers
Once your ductwork is clean and sanitized, you’ll be breathing fresh air free from contaminants and germs, right? Well… only until more germs work their way into your HVAC system. The good news is that you can get an air purifier to keep your ducts, and therefore your home and family, clean and healthy!
