Air duct maintenance and cleaning is an easy service to overlook. Because your HVAC system’s air ducts are tucked safely away inside ceilings and conveniently hidden from view, you may rarely — if ever — think about how dirty they get over time. But unfortunately that doesn’t stop the dirt, dust and other debris from building up in your HVAC air distribution system and seriously compromising indoor air quality. That’s why scheduling duct cleaning regularly is so important.
Clean air ducts provide important benefits to you and your family or to you, your employees and customers. Some of these benefits follow:
Consistent air filter change or cleaning can help mitigate the air quality control issue to a limited degree. However, getting your ductwork cleaned regularly is really the only way to ensure a minimal level of airborne contaminants in your home or commercial space. Depending on where you live, you may want to be especially conscientious about adhering more closely to the recommended cleaning schedule.
According to the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA), the dust, pet dander, chemicals, and other air pollutants that are generated during normal building occupation are drawn into the HVAC system and re-circulated throughout the building an average of five to seven times per day. This can create an indoor environment that causes increasing discomfort for allergy-prone, immune-compromised or oxygen challenged individuals over the course of the day. As these contaminants continue to build up in the system over time, that gradual increase further escalates, making the building’s atmosphere less and less conducive to breathing comfort. And while dirty air ducts will undoubtedly have a greater effect on individuals with asthma, allergies and other lung or immune-system disorders, the indoor environment they create is certainly less than optimal for anyone. This is why cleaning your HVAC ductwork a minimum of once every three to seven years is highly recommended.
